Wall table

Console, or else - a wall table, outwardly resembles a sawn-in two-table with two legs, snugly pushed to the wall. But this is not the only variety of this furniture family. Consoles are full, with all four legs, with shelves, drawers, and they are also sliding, that is, if necessary, turn into a regular table.

Varieties of wall tables

There are three main types of consoles: wall (side), hinged and console table. Let's talk about each type separately.

1. Side table . Look like a narrow table with two legs, which can not exist separately from the wall, which is attached, more precisely - attached. It is not stable due to its design, so it is simply screwed to a partition, wall or other furniture. The rear facade is flat, and in front of such a wall table can have any shape - semicircular, rectangular, irregular. These wall tables are well suited for the kitchen, hallway, bedroom, playing the role of a bedside table. On them it is convenient to add all sorts of trivialities, keys, a phone to put a vase of flowers. If it is in the kitchen, it plays the role of an additional working or dining space.
2. Suspended side tables resemble an overgrown shelf. They are "embedded" one end into the wall or fixed to it somehow differently, so that the legs are not necessary here. Even if they are, they perform rather purely decorative function. There are models of folding wall tables that can be removed by folding to the wall. They are the most compact, since they occupy a minimum of space, they can be placed anywhere, especially since the floor under such a console will remain free. If you supplement it with a mirror on the wall, we get a small dressing table. The folding wall table is very convenient for the kitchen, it saves space, as it is easy to fold and release valuable space if not needed.
3. The third type is a full-fledged log wall table. In contrast to the previous two of his fellows, it can quite exist autonomously, without any additional support. It can be put at the wall, and if necessary - put in the center of the room by the sofa or armchairs. Even in a tiny hallway, such a table will be appropriate, since it has modest dimensions, and most often close to the wall. It is convenient to temporarily place a bag, a hat or gloves, and if this wall table is also with doors or shelves, it does not cost him. In it you can hide trinkets, combs, makeup, hair clips and elastic bands. Of course, this table may look more like a chest of drawers or a cabinet, but it is very functional and helps create an eclectic interior. And there are some models that have the ability to transform and can turn into a full-fledged dining table at lightning speed.

Some subtleties of interior design with a console

Elegant wall tables are good in themselves. However, if they are properly surrounded by other objects of the interior, they are capable of performing miracles. For example, next to the console will look wonderful picture or a few small pictures, a mirror. On the table itself you can put a ceramic vase , metal and glassware.

Following the classics of the genre, you can combine an elegant table with an old lampshade, eye-catching desk lamps or wall sconces . This technique attracts attention to the console and turns it into a highlight of the whole situation.

Sometimes it is possible to successfully build an interior based on a pair of consoles located on either side of the fireplace or window.
