If you want to know how to style with contemporary console with drawers, it is a surprisingly fun design endeavor, as long as you allow your creativity to flow. So don't stress over the finer details and also don't feel pressure to make everything perfect.
Ultimately, it's your console, and you should decorate it as you please.
The next step is to choose decor that actually works for your unique space. So if you want your console to be completely functional such as holding keys or mail near the front door, then focus on containers rather than pieces of art.
Hanging a mirror or piece of art above your console as a focal point is a great idea. You can also choose to make a statement using greenery, and a simple vase with tropical leaves or flowers will do the trick.
If your console is placed in a part of the home that is small, remember that less is more. If you need maximum storage, opt for consoles that contain a few drawers and keep it simple by adding a few items on the top of the table.
A contemporary console table with drawers should rely on features that prioritize practicality.
For example, it should boast a streamlined design with simple lines rather than decorative elements like carvings or cabriole legs. For the most contemporary feel, opt for lighter wood finishes or even a futuristic glass surface.
To further add to this sense of functionality, consider looking for contemporary console tables with additional storage like a lower shelf (or two!).
A contemporary console table with drawers can work in almost any room in the house. They are usually designed to provide extra storage and a display surface in living rooms but also work in bedrooms and even large front entryways. They are not large enough to act as a full-size desk but work well as a side desk for additional workspace in an office, where you can place a printer or office supplies.
Since console tables are wider than deep, they work great up against a wall or behind a sofa. They are great for maximizing small or narrow spaces. Try placing one near your front or back door to create a convenient space to put keys or stash your shoes underneath.
