A console table is like the stage of your home—small, but with endless styling potential. Whether it lives in your hallway, behind your sofa, or in a cosy corner, this slender piece of furniture is the perfect spot to refresh throughout the year. Here’s how to style it seasonally using beautiful pieces like vases, candles, and seasonal decorations that add personality without clutter.
Spring – Fresh & Airy
Think soft pastels, budding blooms, and plenty of light. A vase filled with faux or dried spring stems (hello, blossom branches or eucalyptus) paired with a delicate candle gives your console an instant refresh. Add a little ceramic bunny or floral trinket for a joyful nod to the season.
Summer – Light & Breezy
Swap out florals for greenery—faux ferns or wild garden sprays work a treat. Keep your palette light with whites, creams, and sandy hues. Try a ceramic diffuser with a citrusy scent and a woven bowl for keys or post.
Autumn – Warm & Welcoming
This is your chance to go all in on textures. Think fabric pumpkins, amber glass candle holders, and layered linens under your accessories. A little pumpkin-shaped tealight holder? Yes please.
Winter – Magical & Cosy
Create a glow-up moment with twinkly fairy lights, wintery stems, and a rich-scented candle. Add a festive ceramic ornament or a bowl of baubles for an understated Christmas feel.
Room by Room Tip: In hallways, focus on function and welcome—think a small bowl for keys, a card holder, or a lovely reed diffuser. In living rooms, make it a styling moment with layered heights and scent. And in bedrooms? Keep it soft, maybe a candle, a mini vase, and a bookmark resting beside a journal.
