Create balance, beauty, and story in your favourite spot at home
Whether it's the first thing guests see when they walk through the door, or a quiet moment of loveliness in a hallway nook, the console table is your home’s ultimate blank canvas. It’s where function meets beauty, and when styled well, it whispers quiet luxury.
At Harry and Kit, we believe every surface deserves to tell a story. Here we'll show you exactly how to style a console table like a designer, with timeless tips and handpicked pieces from our collection
Start with a piece that stands confidently on its own. One of our top picks would be the Vintage Indian Counter Table, handcrafted from a dark brown teak wood featuring vertical slatted detailing, turned corner posts, and a beautifully aged natural finish, this piece brings authenticity and soul to your home. It’s both elegant and grounded, making it the perfect stage for layers of styling.
Every good console table vignette starts with a strong backdrop. One of our mirror adds softness and reflects light, while a piece of framed artwork gives warmth and weight.
We would recommending pairing the Vintage Indian Counter Table with artwork such as the gorgeous Bottle Flower by Brittany Ferns
Designer tip: Hang or lean your mirror/art just above the table for a casual but curated effect.
Candle stands and pillars add verticality and romance to your styling. We would style with our Tessa Iron Candle Pillar in antique bronze. They bring a sense of occasion, even to Tuesday afternoons.
Design books are your best styling friends. Stack two or three with beautiful spines to create visual height and texture. They also act as a perfect pedestal for smaller objects like a bud vase or decorative bead strand.
Our favourite styling books include; Moments at Home by Steve Cordony and The Art of Home by Shea McGee, which bring in earthy tones and natural themes.
When done right, your console should feel like a little still life. Layered, curated, and never cluttered. The key? Varying heights, materials, and shapes, while sticking to a cohesive palette. Step back often as you go. Trust your eye.
