Once you've had a console table in your home, you'll wonder how you ever managed without one. Not only does it provide space to display a vase,a lamp or other decorative items, but it can also be the place you store those everyday essentials, such as keys or a notepad and pencil in the hallway. With double drawer space, it's easy to keep clutter at bay. Style tip: Try placing a picture or mirror on the table leaning against the wall behind instead of hanging it on the wall for a more bohemian look.
