Scandi minimalism
Underpinned by neutral colours, architectural lines and natural materials, Scandi minimalism is your shortcut to a clean, understated look. Less is more when it comes to this aesthetic, so start with a modern, pared-back console table, like the Veneta. Its gentle curves and simple silhouette showcase the natural beauty of Calacatta marble and its intricate veining patterns, bringing a touch of refinement to any space.
It wouldn’t be a minimalist aesthetic without a neutral colour palette and natural, tranquil textures. Think soft creams, sandy beiges and deep browns, complemented with matt ceramics, glass and subtle metallic accents. By limiting colour and focusing on form and material, you can create a serene, simple vignette that’s beautifully balanced and calm.
When it comes to styling, scale and juxtaposition are crucial – both key tenets of Coco Republic’s design ethos that ensure a minimalist look still has impact. Use an oversized piece of art, like Dust Abstract Storm or Quai Abstract, above the console to create a visual anchor. Then, add a pop of textural intrigue with the Azure Round Tray, expertly crafted from wire-brushed hardwood, or the Romano Box, a chic storage solution wrapped in tactile raffia. Smooth stone accents, like the cream onyx Kai Marble Dish and Rome Box, offset these rich textures beautifully. Why not style as a duo to create a unique focal point on your console?

Playful vintage
Considering how to style a console table as a vintage lover? Embrace a playful, eclectic style with bold colours, unexpected pairings and fun accessories. This aesthetic is perfect for a home office or studio – or anywhere you want to be inspired – so a console table with storage is a practical foundation. The Sebastien Low Console, with its two-drawer design and antique brass details, is functional yet subtly glamourous, drawing on Art Deco influences.
Vintage-inspired aesthetics are all about personalisation, so don’t hold back when it comes to getting creative. Play with texture, materiality and scales to create a narrative unique to your home. Art enthusiast? We love the idea of using your console table as a mini gallery, layering abstract artworks – like the Rivoli Abstract – with personal photos of varying sizes and shapes.
And don’t forget texture. Craft a dynamic display by mixing materials in the form of statement sculptures and decorative objects. Crafted from luxurious travertine and onyx, the Odin Noughts and Crosses set adds an unexpected, interactive element to your console table, while the intricately crafted Rhodes Bone Inlay Tray is a one-of-a-kind piece, perfect for displaying your favourite trinkets

Bold contemporary
Feeling bold? The console table is the perfect canvas for contrasting colour, unique texture and statement pieces. Set the tone for a striking contemporary display with the Khodier Console, featuring a honed Calacatta Viola marble top. Its neutral finish acts as the perfect foil for vibrant pops of colour, a hallmark of this aesthetic. Go for impact with burnt orange or rich crimson, or dip your toe in with easier-to-style shades, like deep blue or emerald green.
A symmetrical arrangement of lamps or vases on a console table might be the obvious styling choice, but opting for an asymmetrical arrangement feels distinctly more modern. Try grouping a unique candle holder, statement lamp and decorative tray for a high-impact display that harmoniously blends height, texture and colour. More than a functional piece, the Isla Candle Holder’s sculptural form is a work of art in its own right, complemented by the ceramic texture and exquisite craftsmanship of the Wren Table Lamp. Complete the look with an eye-catching pop of colour. In Red Levanto marble – featuring a rich burgundy base and mesmerising white veining – the Koa Tray ties the look together beautifully.
