Furnishing your hallway with a console table

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Coming home to a dark house at the end of a hard day at work isn’t very inviting. Once we step into our homes, we want to feel comfortable and be able to start rewinding from a busy day in the office.

To make your home look warm and inviting the minute you step through your front door, why not consider putting a console table in your hall. Console tables are narrow tables, which are sometimes known as runner tables.

Console tables are great for putting an individual looking lamp and also provide a place for you to put your car keys and handbag on once you have come home.

Console tables come in a range of different types of wood so you can match it to the décor of your home. You can choose from oak, ash or pine depending on what other pieces of wooden furniture you have in your home.

You will be so impressed with how much a console table helps to transform your hallway into a liveable room and not just a room that you pass through to get to the kitchen or the living room.

Ideas for your Hallway

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

The hallway is typically a space in the home that is frequently passed through, where you greet your guests, or dump your bags after a busy day at the shops. It’s an area that creates the first impressions about you and your home, but it’s also an important part of the running of the home and has many functional uses. But with so many demands on this relatively small space there’s more reason to keep the Hallway tidy and organised.

Save Space…

Thought about introducing a shoe cupboard? Unless you have the luxury of a cupboard off the hallway, it’s always a bit of a chore to keep returning your shoes back to the wardrobe. So many of us simply leave our shoes, or even pairs of shoes and boots lying around in the hallway… Sound familiar? A shoe cupboard provides a great hallway storage solution, not only do they take up little floor space, they can look pretty stylish, with room on top for placing photos or other ornaments. The Mobel Oak Shoe Cupboard is a wonderful example of hallway furniture.

Taking this a step further, how about a bench that also doubles up as a shoe cupboard? Well it just so happens that we have one of these too! The Mobel Oak Shoe Bench with Hidden Storage.

A touch of character…

Thinking about those first impressions, how about a console table to help provide the finishing touches to your décor? They’re ideal for displaying vases, family photos, a lamp, or providing somewhere to place your telephone. As many of them have drawers and shelves, they also create extra storage space, for example, for house and car keys, and other oddments.
