Console Tables Australia – For Hallways, Entryways & Living Rooms

Style Your Hallway or Living Room with a Console Table

Console tables are one of the most versatile pieces in the home. Slim enough to fit in a narrow hallway, stylish enough to anchor a living room wall, and practical enough to serve as an entryway catch-all – a good console table earns its place the moment you bring it home. Wood Factory offers a wide range of console tables designed for Australian homes, available in various materials, finishes, and sizes.

Console Tables for Hallways & Entryways

The hallway is your home’s first impression. A console table gives you a surface for keys, mail, and a lamp, while drawers or shelves underneath keep clutter out of sight. Look for a slimline console table under 40 cm deep to keep a narrow hallway feeling open. Our Hamptons-style console tables with drawer storage are a best-seller for Australian entryways.

Console Tables for Living Rooms

Against a living room wall or behind a sofa, a console table provides extra surface space without taking up floor area. Style it with a lamp, artwork, and a few decorative objects for an instant focal point. Taller console tables (above 80 cm) work well in rooms with higher ceilings or behind a sofa to balance proportions.

Console Table Materials & Styles

Timber & Walnut: Warm, natural, and timeless – suits Scandi, Hamptons, and Contemporary styles. Marble-top: Luxurious and striking, ideal for a modern or glam entryway. Rattan: Light and casual, great for coastal or Boho homes. Metal Frame: Industrial-look designs with wood or glass tops for a modern edge.

How to Style a Console Table

The classic console table styling formula: something tall (a lamp or tall vase), something textured (a woven basket or candle holder), something personal (a framed photo or stack of books), and something green (a small plant or trailing vine). Keep it odd-numbered — groups of 3 or 5 items always look more intentional than even numbers.

FAQ

Q1: What is the standard depth of a console table?
Most console tables are 30–45 cm deep, making them ideal for hallways and spaces where you need to keep a clear walkway. If you have more room, a deeper console table (up to 50 cm) provides more surface area for styling and storage.

Q2: What height should a console table be?
Standard console table height is 75–85 cm, which aligns with most light switch heights and works well with table lamps. If you are placing a console table behind a sofa, choose a height that sits at or just below the sofa backrest for a balanced look.

Q3: Can I use a console table behind a sofa?
Yes — this is one of the most popular uses. A console table placed directly behind a sofa defines the back of your seating area and provides a surface for lamps, artwork, or decorative objects. Choose a console table that is roughly the same height as or slightly lower than the sofa back.

Q4: What styles of console tables does Wood Factory stock?
We stock console tables in timber, walnut, marble-top, rattan, and metal-frame designs. Styles include Hamptons, Scandi, Boho, Industrial, and Contemporary. You can filter by material, style, and price on our console tables page.

Q5: Do your console tables come with drawers or shelves?
Many of our console tables include one or more drawers or lower shelves for storage. If storage is important to you, look for designs described as “console table with drawer” or “console table with shelf” in our product listings.
