There’s something striking about using driftwood for furniture. Not only does this style catch our eyes, but its natural beauty also reminds us of beaches and wind-swept outdoor spaces. With the trend of using natural materials like jute, ceramic, bamboo and cork, a driftwood console table fits right in. Faux materials are out, and natural and sustainable materials are front and center. These types of tables also hit another hot trend note as they are ultimately eco-friendly and let you do your part to mitigate climate change.

Driftwood Console Tables

Buying Guide

Console tables can be used either to store your general items or display your favorite ornaments. They can also be used, as the name suggests, to set up a gaming console, providing there is a top shelf and a lower one for storage of any equipment. A driftwood console table can have a soft effect, which is ideal for country homes and cottages. It is also perfect for homes which have a natural and unfinished look about them since there are so many different styles of driftwood table to choose from. Here we'll consider some of the most popular styles, as well as helping you with some useful guidance for buying.

Shades and colors

With driftwood, there isn't much of an option to start experimenting with plenty of different colors, but there are still choices to be made. Driftwood console tables aren't available in just one set shade of wood, which means you'll need to think about what you like and what will suit your home.

A popular type of driftwood is the natural and unfinished look. This comes in many varieties, but most commonly is in between light and dark, making it perhaps one of the most natural looks to achieve in your home.

Light driftwood is also popular since it isn't too stark and doesn't draw too much attention in your home. Depending on what else you have in the room, this could be a good thing or a bad thing but is definitely worth taking into consideration as you explore different types of driftwood.

Finally, in terms of shades and colors, a darker driftwood is perfect for rooms where you have some dark furniture already. You can balance it out using a table lamp, for example, or by displaying brighter items on the console table.

Styles and designs

Initially, you might think it's an easy choice picking out a driftwood console table, but it may not be long before you realize just how much choice there really is. While this means you can take the time finding something that suits you, it also means your shopping journey could be a little bit longer than you anticipated. Here are some popular styles that you might like to consider and push to the front of your queue.

Criss-cross table legs: A style that you love can make the whole room more appealing and comfortable for you to spend time in. A modern and edgy look is the criss-cross leg design, which involves the two (or four) legs being fitted diagonally to create the effect.
L-shape: Another modern take on the driftwood console table, this design is shaped like an L, as the name would indicate. Some people like to buy two L-shaped console tables to create a rectangular shape with extra shelving.
Three shelves: If you think you're going to need that little extra bit of storage in the room, why not consider a driftwood console table with three shelves? These tables are often slightly higher (by around 6-10 inches) than other console tables, but the extra storage could really be useful depending on the items you have.
