Style with decorative objects

The most common way to style your console table, decorative objects are a great way to take up space, while still being stylish and showing off your personality and style. We highly recommend styling different types of objects of various materials and sizes, such as a bowl for the ideal catch-all and small tabletop sculptures or decorative vases for the perfect pop of visual interest.

Styling one or a couple of pieces together on one side of your console table will create visual diversity that will not only catch the eye, but also not overwhelm your space.
