"A trendy decorative console must combine functionality and aesthetics, transforming the chosen room into a chic and welcoming space. Don't forget that trends evolve, so it's a good idea to renew your console regularly to keep up with the times and reflect your changing tastes.
Choose the room in which you want to place your console: living room, hallway, corridor or even a bedroom. Make sure the room has enough space and lighting to show off your console.
Leaning against the wall, consoles take up a minimum of space while adding storage to the home. They can often combine two functions: as a dressing table in the bedroom, an occasional desk in the living room and a piece of entrance furniture in a hallway, they add a useful and decorative touch.
Opt for materials that exude modernity and sophistication. Here are just a few examples of fashionable materials:
Wood: natural wood with an elegant finish such as walnut or oak offers a timeless, contemporary look.
Metal: Incorporate metal accents or frames for an industrial or minimalist touch.
Glass: Glass table tops add a touch of elegance and openness to the console.
Marble: Use marble for a luxurious, upmarket feel.
Choose a console shape and model that matches your room's decor. Here are some popular styles:
Mid-century modern: characterised by clean lines, tapered legs and minimalist design elements.
Industrial: Go for raw materials (wood and metal), exposed fittings and a rugged, utilitarian look.
Scandinavian: Opt for simplicity, light colours and uncluttered design.
Contemporary: mix different styles, materials and shapes to create a unique and trendy console.
Art Deco inspiration: in metal and glass.
Enhance the appeal of your console with carefully chosen decorative elements. Think about it:
Paint: Hang a work of art or a display wall above the console.
Vases : Display trendy vases with fresh or artificial flowers.
Mirrors : Place an elegant mirror to amplify the visual space.
Sculptures : Incorporate abstract sculptures or figurines for an artistic touch.
Plants: Add green plants to add colour and greenery to the room.
Add trendy light fittings such as
suspension lights or lamps to illuminate the console area.
Finally, infuse the console with your personality by displaying objects that reflect your interests and style, such as books, collectables or personal mementos.
