When it comes to console tables the truth is that many people believe they are only to be used in the hallway. The reality is much different and many of us are learning that a console table can be used in any room of the house where we need a small piece of functional furniture to fill a gap that no other thing can fill.

Having said that it is in the hall that something like a mission console table sits the best. A narrow space where you need to be able to let visitors to the home by but still want somewhere to lay your keys and perhaps sit a telephone or lamp. That’s why the console table has become associated so strongly with hall, it fulfills its role so well when used in this area of the home.
