Designing a beautiful home is an exciting task that involves drawing inspiration from various sources and implementing them into your home décor. You can create a lasting impression if your home has a tasteful design that appeals to your visitors. The hallway, or the foyer, is usually the first space that one will experience when entering a home. Having an attractively-accessorized console table can create a great visual impact in the foyer area. Here is a look at how well-decorated console tables can make your space look inviting and stylish.
A well-chosen console table can be a very versatile accessory. Whether you use it in the foyer or in the living room, even a minimalist design can make a style statement. Consider the style of your home before making a choice. Choose from artistically-designed and flawlessly-finished console tables that complement the other furniture in the room. After you have chosen the table, think about ways to decorate it. You can opt for a minimalist look by placing just a few well-chosen accessories on the table. For a more decorative effect, add beautiful vases or candles of varying sizes and colors for a unique look. Place a large mirror above the console table and stack some of your favorite collection of books on it or let it reflect a stunning painting hung on the opposite wall. Create a symmetrical display with two oversized hurricane lanterns on either side or have a stunning lamp on one side and balance the other with a tabletop plant or a bowl filled with shells for an unusual asymmetric look.
Table lamps can work wonders in adding to the aesthetics of your space. No matter where you place your table lamp, it can definitely create a warm ambiance and illuminate the area. Pay attention to the base as well as the shade of the lamp before making a choice. The base of the lamp should be strong enough to support the entire lamp. With a wide array of shades available today, you can choose a shade the complements the kind of look you want to achieve in your home. Choose from striking table lamps made of glass or steel featuring clean lines to accessorize a sleek, contemporary setting.
