When arranging a room, a variety of interior items can be used. Some products perform specific functions, while others can only be used for decoration. An interesting option for use is a furniture console, which is used quite rarely, although it is universal and attractive.

Description and features

A console is a decorative furniture element located near the wall. A huge variety of designs are offered. For example, products made in a classic style contain notes of minimalism, but if we consider modern products, they are more saturated with additional elements - pull-out drawers, cabinets, shelves.

Wall mounted shelves in the living room

The console is represented by a narrow table, which is usually long. The element is often attached to the wall, so it can resemble a wall shelf. The prototype of this furniture element is a support that supports the protruding area of ​​the structure, so the original products were often placed against the wall.

Furniture consoles, their purpose and features

The furnishings of modern premises may include various interior items. Some products have a specific functional purpose, others are used solely for decorative purposes. As for designer furniture consoles, these designs are not only versatile, but also aesthetically attractive, although they are rarely used to decorate rooms.

Console tables are placed near the wall or mounted on a vertical surface

The furniture console is a compact narrow table that is installed against the wall of the room or mounted on a vertical surface. You can find dozens of different types of structures on sale. There are many options for their design. Manufacturers use various materials to make these products. Consoles can be equipped with supports, and if there are none, they are simply fixed to the wall.

The store's range of products is presented in designs of different heights. Therefore, buyers have the opportunity to choose a console that will match the parameters of other furniture in the room.

General characteristics and parameters of furniture consoles

Typically, consoles are equipped with a very narrow tabletop. The width of some models does not exceed 20 cm. In most cases, such tables are installed against the wall. First of all, they are used for decorating rooms. However, if the console has a sufficient tabletop width, the built-in drawers make it a practical and functional piece of furniture.

Often, narrow console tables are used as shelves where decorative interior items are placed:

The standard console height varies between 80-110 cm

• vases;
• photographs or posters;
• flower pots;
• mirrors;
• figurines;
• souvenirs and trinkets;
• table-top lighting fixtures.

Helpful advice! By installing a console table for a room near a bed or sofa, you can get a comfortable bedside table suitable for placing books and glasses on it.

Consoles are mainly used for storing small items. They consist of a tabletop and a supporting element. Most often these are legs, in more rare cases - columns. Some models are fixed directly to the wall, so such consoles do not require supports.

Console tables are convenient for placing various decorative items

Standard product options have the following parameters:

1. Height – varies between 80-110 cm.
2. Width – the maximum is 50 cm.
3. Depth - this figure does not exceed 40 cm (for this reason, the console cannot be considered a full-fledged table).

Application in the interior

Tables are classified depending on the purpose of use and are divided into decorative and functional furniture designs.

What is a console and how to choose one

The main advantages of consoles and their varieties

Renovation requires new items in the house. Some of them are necessary for direct practical application, without which it is difficult to imagine our daily life. Other furniture serves a decorative function in the room. A console is furniture that perfectly combines beautiful appearance and convenience. This detail is often underestimated, although it has many advantages. Let's look at them in more detail.

Application options

The console is a compact table with legs that is mounted to the walls. There are a large number of options on the market: in shape, style, materials. There are different models in height, so it’s easy to choose a console depending on your preference - high or small. The width is no more than 50 cm, thanks to which this item will fit well into the space.

The location of the console table against the wall allows for economical use of space. Some modern consoles are equipped with drawers, which improves ease of use. Its surface is perfect for placing your favorite things: framed photographs, figurines, a book you are reading or decorating with a vase. You can place a small floor lamp on a table located by the bed.

There is no need to consider this furniture as a full-fledged table; its depth is no more than 40 cm. Due to its compact size, it is used in hallways, living rooms, offices, bedrooms, and corridors. The most common design is a small console mounted to the wall.

Types of consoles

The various options available on the market provide a wide variety of applications. Despite the fact that the main emphasis of a console table is decorative, there are models that are convenient to use every day. Installing the console in a corner or unoccupied space helps to save space in the interior. Ideal for narrow and small hallways, when every detail matters.

Sometimes a console table effectively hides a heating radiator. By placing it near an armchair or sofa, you will solve the problem of storing important household items. Thanks to drawers and stands, you can hide documents, remote controls, and phone chargers. A complete set with a mirror can harmoniously decorate the design.

The choice of console types and shapes depends on your space, style, preferred materials and installation option. Let's take a closer look:

Console materials

The choice of console tables depends on the style of the room. The presented luxurious consoles made of precious wood with carvings and intricate details are perfect for a classic interior. It is also worth paying attention to the surfaces made of natural stone and handmade paintings. By placing such a console next to the mirror, you will decorate a spacious living room or bedroom.

The console is often used in modern solutions - it has simpler shapes and materials. It has no unnecessary details and is made in a minimalist style. Composition – laminated chipboard, glass, metal, MDF. Such models look interesting in any setting, especially in a small one, visually increasing the space. For high-tech solutions, plastic is often used.

In order to choose the right console for your home, you should take into account the overall style of the interior, color scheme and area of ​​the room. There are many types of this furniture. Depending on the capabilities, it is worth considering a high-quality console table or a modern model made from simple materials. Thanks to its interesting and beautiful appearance in addition to convenient functionality, this item will be an excellent interior solution. From the wide selection of collections presented, it is easy to find an individual option.

Ideas for placing a console in the interior

In modern homes, a common option is to place a console in a bright color, and the size should be appropriate to the surroundings, so that the design does not stand out from the general style direction, but at the same time is not faded. If the background is neutral, then the bright console is designed to attract the eye.

Advice! If the interior has a classic touch, a textile table design is suitable. It can be covered with a “skirt” - a kind of fabric cover.

Symbolic legs on a table built into the wall

Modern interiors are often decorated with imitation tables - a shelf with a support. Creating a “fake” is quite simple; to do this, hang a shelf on the wall, and the support for it is formed from special materials and fixed to the wall.

Consoles and their varieties

There are many different types of consoles available today. They differ from each other not only in texture, shape and appearance, but also in a number of other characteristics and properties. For example, the most common console profile shape is the curl shape. Sometimes, the design can be decorated with several volute curls, one of which fits tightly to the wall, twisting upward, and the second gracefully curls in the opposite direction.

Rectangular consoles and elongated structures that have a clear and regular geometric shape look very relevant within the framework of modern interior design. This is nothing more than ornamented stands attached to the wall. They are able to give the interior a special charm and luxury.

According to the type of placement, consoles are distinguished:

• wall,
• attached,
• free-standing.

Materials from which decorative structures are made:

• wood boards or natural wood,
• metal,
• special type of glass,
• polyurethane,
• plastic, etc.

Consoles that perform a supporting function are often made from stronger and more reliable materials that can withstand heavy loads.

Important: this type of structure, such as a console, can not decorate every room interior. It is necessary to competently and harmoniously combine all decorative elements so as not to end up with something completely tasteless and not in accordance with generally accepted norms and ideas.

Types of furniture

Looking at the ideas and photos of the console for the living room, you can see that there are literally a sea of ​​varieties. Let's consider the main types and directions in the design of these exquisite tables.

Hanging bright console with cabinets

• The corner elements of the console will be undeniably useful when decorating any room, because it is important not only to create decorations in corners and niches, but also to defuse the situation by arranging the necessary elements. A bedside table can serve as such a design element.

Corner console against the wall, serving as a dressing table

• A console table can act as the most comfortable piece of furniture, being purely a decorative item on which you can place ashtrays, newspapers and magazines.

Narrow table in the living room with forged legs

• The table can be an excellent exhibition area for showing off your collection of antiques to guests. Today, the console in the form of a display case is especially relevant.

Console with cabinets as a shelf for your home collection

• Often, a console is a side table that surrounds the back of a sofa and at the same time looks very elegant, stylish and modern.

Today, similar designs are produced as sets: console + mirror + seat. If you install this composition in the bedroom, you can create maximum coziness and make the room truly comfortable. Furniture elements today are not only equipped with numerous configurations, but are also offered in a variety of materials, designs and functionality. A console table in the living room is the optimal solution for successful interior design.

Varieties

There are many types of console furniture. The choice of the required model depends on its purpose, size, room configuration, location of the product, and interior style. It is also necessary to pay attention to the material used to make the furniture.

By area of ​​application

Consoles come in two varieties - decorative and functional. The first panels decorate the interior and are compact in size. A narrow console will help fill an empty corner or niche. The design of the table can be so expressive and bright that the product will look like an independent decorative element. To highlight the console, it is good to hang a picture or mirror above it. Often, such a table is used to disguise a heating radiator. Under the furniture you can place an original pouf, a floor vase or a wicker box. Thus, a narrow table becomes an independent art object that can transform the most inconspicuous room.

Features of non-standard furniture for premises for various purposes

Modern interiors are focused primarily on the functionality of furnishings. The console also plays a practical role in the interior. So, in the bedroom it can be used as a bedside table, dressing table or workplace. For comfortable use of furniture, it is necessary to select its size in accordance with its purpose. If it is assumed that the console will be used instead of a dressing table, then a spacious drawer for cosmetics can be located under the folding tabletop. In the living room it is placed against a free wall or near upholstered furniture.

Console TV stands are popular in minimalist interiors. They look less bulky, make cleaning easier and give the interior a stylish look. The width of such furniture is quite convenient for safely installing a modern model TV on it. If the TV is mounted on a bracket to the wall, then a console cabinet or shelf organically fills the free space under it.

You can add comfort to a small hallway with the help of such furniture. The table will not take up much space, but it will provide a surface for storing small items. And additional shelves will make such a piece of furniture spacious. Above the tabletop there is enough space for a mirror, a key holder or a hanger for hats. The free space below can be allocated for a pouffe on wheels or a banquette.

By device and installation location

There are different ways to position the console depending on its design:

1. Freestanding furniture console table. It may have 1, 2 or 4 legs, but what distinguishes it from traditional models is its narrow tabletop. Taking into account the number of supports, it is located near the wall or anywhere in the room. Modern models may have wheels for easy movement around the room.
2. Attached consoles. They have two or one support. Sometimes a rigid wall mount is used to ensure a stable position.
3. Wall models. The leg performs a decorative function or is completely absent. An oval, rectangular or semicircular tabletop is rigidly fixed to the wall and complemented by a decorating element on top - a painting, a mirror, a lamp. With this type of fastening, attention is paid to the decorative appearance of the brackets.
4. Corner furniture console (free-standing or wall-mounted). With its help, it is possible to rationally use a free corner. Such furnishings look especially original and expressive.
5. Models with built-in cabinets under the countertop. They are equipped with beautiful fittings on the outside and allow you to store small items, writing instruments, and cosmetics.

The most convenient are consoles with a transformation function. They can be folded out into a comfortable-sized table top for a dining table or desk.

The use of tables in the living room in different styles

Minimalism

Such tables in this style act as an appropriate reminder of the simple truth “less = more.” Instead of choosing a table with an abundance of decor, you should give preference to a small transparent design and place a table lamp on it. Mirror tables should be decorated accordingly.

A light table in a minimalist style blends with the color scheme of the living room interior

Advice! To prevent these trinkets from distracting the eye from the real beauty, you need to choose tables made of glass or plexiglass.

Traditional style

In this direction, it is worth giving preference to symmetry, and it can appear when decorating a console even near a wall. If you want to fit more details into such an interior, you should distribute things symmetrically across the surface of the table, which will make the entire interior more orderly. A similar effect can be achieved if you place a console under the TV for the living room, and also symmetrically place the main decorative items on it.

Advice! Remember the importance of choosing color combinations and furniture textures. Sophistication can be added by using decorative elements. For example, you can place simple ottomans next to the table and create a bright centerpiece in the middle of the room.

A traditional-style table serves as a stand for stylish items

If you have a small “creative space” and your apartment is not large, you should give preference to small but practical designs equipped with additional shelves for storing small items.

Console with unusual legs in Art Nouveau style

What to choose?

Many furniture sets include console tables made in the same style as the main furniture. For example, the Giorgio collection factory has similar compositions.

If the furnishings of the room are “assembled” independently from diverse objects, then there are many options when choosing a console.

When looking for a suitable model, you should consider what function it will perform in the interior.

• Purely decorative? Choose models with an unusual design or an interesting design.
• Will it serve as a stand for accessories or lighting? Then it is better to choose a laconic model in the style of the main furniture.
• Connoisseurs of practical and functional items, as well as those with limited space, will find transforming models or consoles with drawers that can replace a desk or small cabinet.

Design features of consoles

The console in the living room interior has an attractive appearance, but it is worth distinguishing between such products by design. A typical console has two basic elements - a support and a tabletop. They are different in modernist and classic models.

• In the classical style direction, the furniture has a rich variety of decorative elements: mosaic laying, painting, natural stone on the legs and tabletop. The edge is not complete without decoration - it is equipped with special decorative carvings.

Classic small table with additional shelves

• Modern products are aimed at restraint, conciseness and functionality. Many of the models are equipped with drawers located under the countertop, and can also have a full-fledged cabinet instead of small knives. Often, when we are talking about such an element as transom consoles for the living room, a small tabletop can turn into a full-fledged dining table.

Small drawers will make the console more functional

Thus, going into antiquity and paying tribute to modernity, it is worth noting the wide variety of designs that are ready to delight you with beautiful details.

In the living room, consoles are used primarily as a stand for storing decorative elements, such as vases or figurines. Designs made of glass are suitable for interiors in a minimalist style. When it comes to classics, wood console tables with sophisticated legs are the perfect complement to these living rooms.

As a rule, in the living room the console is installed in the form of a TV stand

Most people use this room for relaxation, such as listening to music or watching movies. The console is perfect for placing equipment. To install a TV, hanging-type products or cabinet-shaped structures are usually used.

Note! Modern equipment has a lot of wires that do not fit well with the interiors of residential premises. In addition, they are quite easy to damage, especially if the family has pets or small children. For this reason, it is advisable to choose a console that hides and masks the wires as much as possible.

Brick, stone, wood, as well as imitations of these materials are often used to decorate the walls in the living room. To achieve a winning combination, it is advisable to select a console in a contrasting color. It is better if this structure is suspended. If the room has a fireplace, a console made of reclaimed wood would be an excellent design solution. This interior element will emphasize the warmth and comfort of the environment.

The TV console should mask the wires as much as possible

If in the living room, in addition to the TV, there is other equipment, it is recommended to give preference to consoles with open shelves, where you can install a VCR, stereo system, speakers and other equipment, as well as small household items. To create an eco-style living room, products made from natural materials are suitable. Designs in the form of wicker baskets will look original in the interior.

The best option for the living room are floating consoles. Such models are easy to clean; if desired, their position can be changed by lowering the structure lower or raising it.

In the bedroom, the furniture console usually serves as a dressing table. To put yourself in order in the morning or get ready for bed, just hang a mirror and place a table lamp. Manufacturers produce entire sets especially for bedrooms, which include a console, a large mirror and a comfortable seat. By installing such a model in the rest room, you can achieve maximum coziness and comfort.

Most often, the console in the bedroom serves as a dressing table.

The console in the bedroom can be used to store cosmetics as well as books. This is a great option for those who like to read before bed. Models on casters are very convenient to use; if necessary, they can be moved to the bed and used as a regular table.

Designers recommend installing a console table in a light color scheme in the bedroom. White furniture will create an atmosphere of lightness, spaciousness and grace in the relaxation room. However, this does not mean that you cannot use dark colors. It all depends on personal preferences, as well as on the style in which the room is decorated.

Helpful advice! A console table can be used to create a work area in a small room. In modern apartments, the space of the bedroom or living room is often combined with a loggia to increase the living space. The compact console in this case is ideal for placing office supplies and a laptop.

Video: Making a console table with your own hands / DIY Making a Console Table

What could be better than a beautiful, comfortable table? Maybe two of these tables? Or the same table, but much more compact? How to turn an ordinary table with your own hands into a narrow console table, with two legs. Or divide it into two and make a rack. Do you know?

How to turn an ordinary table into an elegant console. You can create a real exclusive from a sawn table with your own hands. You've probably admired them in stores, where prices are often steep. But you can make such a “piece copy” yourself. And it will be much cheaper than the store-bought version.

The best part is that this table can be made from absolutely any high table. You can even take an old tabletop and screw beautiful legs onto it. And there are plenty of ways to decorate this item.

◆ Master class No. 1. ◆ Bedside table on two legs from a sawn table.

You will need an old dining table, wood paint and 2 blocks.

1. Shorten the legs, because a side table (or bedside table) is usually lower than a dining table.

2. The table should be cut not along the long part, but along the short part.

3. A product painted in a bright color (with a brush or spray gun) looks especially impressive.

4. A stable position is secured not with corners, but with a pair of bars (approximately 1/2 the width of the already sawn-off tabletop). They need to be connected to each other and screwed to the wall. The finished bedside table is placed on top.

◆ Master class No. 2. ◆ Two consoles from one sawn round table.

One of them (yellow) became a console under the TV in the bedroom. The second one (painted blue) serves as a bedside table in the hallway.

1. Take an old round table, remove the old paint or varnish, and sand down any rough edges. Apply primer.

2. Cut the tabletop with a jigsaw into 2 equal parts.

3. Sand the edges and paint them in colors that you like and match the color palette of the room.

Console tables differ from regular tables in that they are fully or partially attached to the wall. This table is made complete with a mirror and is intended for the bedroom. But this is not the only place to place it. This option may be very appropriate in the hallway.

A console table takes up noticeably less space than a regular one, so using it in a limited space in a bedroom or hallway may be the best option.

You can make such a dressing table from a variety of materials, including chipboard, but this is, of course, a last resort. In this version, the table is made of solid pine.

Console table with two drawers, detail dimensions.

Table assembly.

1. Place the sides level, flush with the ends and the front edge of the tabletop. We screw it onto furniture corners, I used rigid corners with bolts, with metal fittings. Still, the entire table hangs practically on the tabletop.

2. On the lower edges of the sidewalls, use a hand router to cut a quarter of 10/10 mm. to install the bottom. We make a quarter less than 30 mm. to the front ends of the sidewalls, level the angle with a chisel.

3. Mark the middle partition by pushing it inward by 30 mm. relative to the front edge of the tabletop. This is done because the drawers, when in use, slide inside the table, flush with the sides and tabletop, and are attached to the corners of the tabletop.

4. We insert the bottom into the quarters on the sidewalls, and screw them with self-tapping screws to the edges of the sidewalls and the middle partition. The bottom also moves inward by 30 mm. , and is aligned with the anterior end of the middle septum. When closing the drawers, the front slats rest against the edge of the bottom and the partition.

5. We install the drawers on roller or telescopic guides, 350 mm long. We fasten the facades with self-tapping screws from the inside of the drawers, just like the drawers for bedside tables, the link is at the top of this article. You can hang the table on the wall using special hangers for heavy kitchen cabinets.

Mirror for the bedroom.

This table will be used as a dressing table, so a mirror for it is a must. Here the mirror is quite large and hung above the table on the wall.

The mirror is assembled in the form of a frame with the corners filed into a “mustache”, i.e. at an angle of 45*.

General dimensions: Height 1100 mm. , width 1000 mm. , thickness of parts 30 mm. , width of frame bars 150 mm. . Along the edges of the parts, edges with a width of 50 mm are made. , at an angle of 10-11 *.

During assembly, at the ends of the parts, I made 10/10/150 mm sockets using a hand router. for spikes. I glued the frame together using long clamps. If there are none, then the frame can be wedged on the table, or, as a last resort, the corners can be tightened with long self-tapping screws from the edges, the caps can be immediately recessed and sealed with wooden plugs.

From the inside, along the inner edges, a quarter for glass was also made using a manual milling cutter. The width of the quarter can be any, but try to make the depth based on the thickness of the mirror + the thickness of the plywood. Plywood 3-4 mm. The mirror is closed from the back side. You can secure the mirror with regular mirror clips. To put it simply, these are plastic or metal washers that are attached with self-tapping screws.

DIY console table.

Tables mounted on the wall are a very convenient purchase, especially if the room area is limited. This table can be used in a bedroom, nursery or as a computer desk. You can make such a piece of furniture yourself; this will require a minimum of tools and some basic work skills.

Cantilever furniture, that is, furniture hung on the wall, has recently become increasingly popular. Wall-mounted cabinets in the bathroom, cabinets, shelves, tables, all these products have one important factor in common: they take up less space than objects of the same size installed on the floor.

The table you see in the pictures is made in the simplest version. To work, we will need to purchase or glue together two joinery boards 1500 mm long. and width 400-450 mm. . You can also use narrower shields, 300-350 mm. , you can decide for yourself whether the depth of the table is enough for you to work.

The sides between the table top and the bottom shelf are cut from the same panel, the height of the parts is 150 mm. . Planed oak boards 25 mm thick are used here. If your shields are made of 20 mm thick coniferous wood. , then it will be necessary to install an additional middle jumper between the shelves for rigidity.

The table dimensions can be 1500 mm wide. , height 200 mm. , depth 400 mm. . For those who are less familiar with furniture making, I will tell you that the width of a piece of furniture is calculated along the wall, and the depth from the facade inwards, in this case to the wall.

You can assemble the parts on dowels or furniture ties. I think dowels should not be considered in this case; furniture ties are good because there will be no holes on the tabletop. But I would advise you not to be too clever, and screw everything together using eurekas (confirmations) or self-tapping screws with a diameter of 4.5-5 mm. , and then close the caps with plugs. Of course, in both options it will be necessary to pre-drill holes in the tabletop, bottom shelf and at the ends of the lintels.

I would like to clarify the technology of work. First, assemble the table using confirmations and adjust the parts. Then remove the tabletop and attach it to the wall separately. When installing corners, check the accuracy with a level; an inclined table is very uncomfortable and you quickly get tired of it. The corners are attached to the wall with dowels and nails, three to four corners, for each three dowels 50 mm long. with a diameter of 5-6 mm. .

Before final installation of the table, it must be painted. Painting is a general concept; you can use varnishes, stains, and opaque paints. In this case, the oak parts are treated with tung oil.

A console table is a shallow structure with or without shelves and drawers. Such furniture is particularly intended for spacious rooms, but you can also find a place for it in small rooms. You can place souvenirs on such a stand in your office, cosmetics in the bathroom, decorative elements in the living room, and used as a dressing table in the bedroom. They can also look different, for example, decorated with mosaics, painted or made of stone. Consoles are installed near the wall; they are ideal for zoning rooms. This article will describe how to make a console table with your own hands.

Scope of application of consoles

The scope of application of consoles is quite wide. They are quite acceptable both for decorating the interior and exterior of buildings and structures, as well as for decorating garden and park areas, gazebos, open areas, etc. This is a worthy and durable decoration, which, among other things, will fulfill its main function - to provide support and serve as a support for heavy and fragile structures.

For example, in Greece, the console was often used to support the door cornice in temples and some cultural and historical sites. Not a single theater or museum building can do without these structures. In modern architecture, consoles are used to give the interior a special charm. They look very impressive, especially if they are installed with high quality and properly combined with other decorative elements, which must certainly be in harmony with each other.
