Style, storage and luxury; why we love a console table
Console and hallway tables are right on-trend
Mocka customers from all over New Zealand and Australia are embracing the popular console table for use throughout any room of the home. Versatile console tables can be placed in any area to add style, storage or both. A perfect foundation for favourite decor pieces, the console table can be personalised to complement your interior design and individual style.
Stylish, functional and ideal for storage
Positioned in the entryway, a tall slim hall table is easy to access as you enter the home. Rest your handbag as you walk through the front door, and pop essential items like keys and wallets in the handy drawers.
A console in the dining room can complement your dining table, cabinets, buffet, bench seats or sideboards. You can place canapes on the console’s tabletop when hosting a dinner or transform it into a bar.
In the bedroom, you can use the console as a dressing table to store your makeup and hair accessories or in the living room to store your cables and chargers. In the office, you might use it to keep receipts or paperwork. The options are endless!
Slim in design - ideal for smaller spaces
A great alternative to larger pieces like the entertainment unit or sideboard, the console table has a slimmer design and works well in narrow spaces. Unobtrusive and requiring little floor space, the console is often a perfect solution for tight quarters.
Discover the perfect style and size for your space
The in-house design team at Mocka has crafted several different sizes and shapes for versatility. So firstly, assess the area where you’re considering adding a console to know how much space you have to work with. Then, consider what you will use the console for. Do you need drawers or shelves? Or perhaps you simply need a surface to place the lamp or house plant? Lastly, of course, will be the style. Explore Mocka’s exquisite range of natural, retro, contemporary and classic designs to discover a style that suits your home furniture.
On-trend styles
Mocka designers love the Savannah, which features the wood-look finish of an oak console table blended with natural rattan. The double shelves give you multiple storage and display options. In addition, we also love the timeless aesthetic and generous storage capacity of the Hamptons console. However, if you love a contemporary aesthetic, both the Inca and the Eclipse feature a beautiful finish and built-in drawer space. And, of course, for a simple clean-line tabletop, both the Porto and Zander are chic, timeless choices.
Console tables to complement your decor style
Pair your new console table with existing decor for a seamless flow throughout your home. Continue your coastal aesthetic with the Georgia, Savannah or Kuranda. Complement your vintage-inspired style with an Art Deco touch from Zara or the mid-century accents from Edmond.
Functionality and style in one simple table
You’ll be surprised how a simple console table can elevate your space. Stylish yet highly practical, this popular piece of furniture is at the top of every home dweller's wishlist this year.
Monochrome or natural timber-look for your ideal aesthetic
Pair your console table with existing bedroom furniture like your dressers, headboards or bookshelves. Choose timber-look veneers that replicate the natural grains of solid wood for an organic style. You might even coordinate your console with your armchairs and ottomans in the living room. Choose satin paint finishes with powder-coated steel for a contemporary aesthetic to suit your sleek coffee table or side tables.
Multi-purpose consoles and hallway tables
Console tables can be positioned in the hallway, or used any other way you like. Our design team loves seeing how our customers use Mocka furniture in versatile ways. Take a snap of your console in action and tag us on Instagram for the chance to be featured in our online gallery.

FAQ’s:
Should a console table be higher than a couch?
No, we don’t recommend it. If you are using a console behind the sofa as a sofa table, it’s wise to make sure that the console is roughly the same height or slightly lower, but not higher. The console should also be at least two-thirds of the sofa’s length for best proportions.
Where should you place a console table in your home?
That is entirely up to you! Console tables are frequently used in the hallway or entryway but can also make a beautiful addition to the furniture of the dining room, bedroom or living room.
