Your console table is more than a surface—it’s a statement. Whether it’s placed in your entryway, hallway, or living room, styling a console table is your chance to showcase your personality and elevate your space with intention.
At Marknexx Luxe, we believe that styling should feel effortless, elegant, and uniquely yours. Here’s how to do it right.
1. Start with a Focal Point
Think of your console table as a gallery wall on a smaller scale. Begin with one striking focal item—a large mirror, a bold piece of art, or an oversized sculpture to anchor the space.
Pro Tip: A round mirror adds softness, while an abstract painting brings modern edge.
2. Layer Heights & Shapes
Visual interest comes from varying height and dimension. Combine tall vases or lamps with shorter accents like books, candles, or trays.
- Use stacked books as a platform for smaller décor
- Add tapered candles or diffusers for a touch of vertical elegance
- Include sculptural objects to break symmetry and add depth
3. Balance, Don’t Mirror
Perfect symmetry can feel stiff. Instead, aim for visual balance. For example, place a lamp on one side and counterbalance with a trio of objects on the other.
Let the eye flow naturally—it’s more relaxed, more refined.
4. Add a Touch of Nature
Nothing grounds a luxe setup like something living (or looking like it is). Try:
- A minimal floral arrangement
- A textural branch in a ceramic vase
- A succulent in a low, sculptural pot
Greenery softens the space and adds organic contrast to structured décor.
5. Incorporate Texture and Metallics
Layer in materials that play with light and texture. Think:
- Brass or gold trays
- Marble or crystal candle holders
- Velvet boxes or woven baskets below for functional storage
Texture creates richness without clutter.
6. Keep It Curated
Luxury doesn’t mean excess. Select fewer, better pieces. Everything on the table should feel considered—nothing random, nothing filler.
Less is luxe.
