Make things matchIn this hall, a slim console table also solves the radiator challenge, again by forming a frame around it. The beautiful floor of this hallway takes centre stage, so the owners have chosen a simple design for the console that ties in with the monochrome shapes on the floor without overwhelming the rest of the space. A marble surface complements the white tiles, while some bright flowers and bowls add a vivid touch of colour to the black-and-white scheme.Find hallway floor solutions to stop mud and dirt in their tracks
Combine with shoe storageThis hallway isn’t tiny, but a console table like this one would work well in a small space. The chunky design is sturdy enough, but its narrow shape would fit in a tight spot. The beauty of a console like this one is that it combines a top surface with extra storage. There are drawers for keys, coins and outerwear, as well as a recess for shoes below, so there’s no need to add any extra pieces of furniture.


Tuck it next to the stairsNo room near the front door? Look elsewhere for places to pop your console table. If you don’t have a cupboard door under your staircase, make the most of the space by tucking in a table instead. This pale wood design contrasts beautifully with the inky wall behind, and at the same time tones in with the bright white staircase.Have you put a console table into your hallway?
