Our industrial looking console tables are bold yet versatile pieces that complement several interior styles within your home. Typically, the modern industrial console table had subtle details that represented its industrial manufacturing heritage. Yet today, we love to pair an industrial iron console table with soft furnishings to create an eclectic look in our homes whilst also offering function. The most popular location for an industrial-style console table is in a hallway, but we would love to see these in multiple locations in your home. We are particularly fond of utilising an industrial wood console table within a living room setting, as this can be paired beautifully with an industrial wood coffee table to create a dynamic pairing of furniture that frames and complements the soft furnishing elements of this space effortlessly.
An industrial metal console table could provide the perfect mix of rugged charm. We love to see this style of rustic console table in a trendy home office environment, where it can be doubled up as a casual desk or a valuable piece of furniture that not only adds to the urban, edgy interior but creates the perfect amount of storage for your stationary equipment. It is typically constructed from steel, iron or aluminium, delivering a durable and robust structure. These tough materials are often paired with warm or washed woods to create a dynamic contrast of warm, natural, earthy tones and hard, solid metal surfaces. The metal is usually finished in black, anthracite or a distressed finish, hinting back at the material's industrial heritage.
Industrial metal console tables are typically slim and narrow in format, making them an excellent option for narrow corridors or compact spaces that cry out for interest and detail. They are a great place to display family photos, vases, books and lamps as you create a stylish platform to showcase your favourite belongings. When placed in entrance halls, they can become the perfect place to house keys and mail, or alternatively, when placed in a living space, they could be decorated with baskets, adding a warm natural contrast against the metal but also providing additional storage and organisation.
We also include small industrial console tables within our range, perfect for those compact, modest places that are crying out for some interest. Our small industrial console table designs are a petite approach to these areas and offer effortless charm, whether that is under your staircase displaying your family photos or in an en-suite bathroom storing your soaps and perfumes. This stylish design is a favourable option to be placed behind a sofa in a living space, creating a layer of detail that can be dressed with formal accessories like symmetrical table lamps and a slim bowl in the middle or for a more casual look, you could create asymmetrical accessories with a stack of books, mixed coloured vases and glassware to create a flexible, eclectic look. In an urban loft-style apartment, a small industrial console table would make a great focal point when placed in front of a brick wall, as a black metal frame often found on industrial console tables would sit boldly off a red brick wall, adding depth and detail to the decor.
When introducing a vintage industrial console table into your interior, considering your colour scheme is a great idea. As industrial-style furniture typically displays metals, woods, concrete and glass, these materials can naturally lean more towards a neutral earthy colour palette, mixing soft greys, beiges and creams with browns, anthracites and soft smoky blacks to create a striking foundation. To elevate this vintage feel you could pair this neutral natural base palette with deep tones like olive greens, dark navy, rusty terracotta creating a striking colour scheme that works in sync with the industrial materials whilst adding depth and warmth. To further develop this vintage design you could introduce warm metallics like gold metal accessories or picture frames to add a regal and luxurious touch that elevates this vintage feel. When it comes to accessorising a vintage-style industrial console table, you could introduce brass mesh baskets or vintage-style crates with rustic branding to accentuate this industrial vintage design whilst adding additional storage.
The most popular option would have to be an industrial wood console table; these favourable pieces are celebrated for their warm and inviting aesthetic that delivers a natural, earthy finish. Whether constructed out of reclaimed, distressed, weathered or washed wood, this stylish finish provides a solid foundation that can be enhanced with a metal framework. Details like the wood grain, knots and imperfections are highlighted, adding a natural rustic finish with a unique feel. The wood can display warm yellows and whitewashed, deep chocolate tones down to a black wood finish, each creating a different style and finish. For a moody interior finish, you could pair deeper wood tones with tan leather and forest green tones to create a striking interior that won't go unnoticed. When working with darker wood tones, it's a great choice to warm them up with textures like large open-knitted wools, linen curtains, and a Persian rug, striking a balance between the harsh dark woods and soft natural textures. As industrial wood console tables typically display texture and detail regarding accessorising, a more subtle approach could be beneficial so you don't create a busy look. A tall industrial table lamp would make a great pairing, delivering height to this asymmetric styling. This can be added to trays and shallow bowls to finish this modern and carefully considered accessorising.
If you want to introduce character to your interior, an industrial rustic console table would be the perfect option. You will typically find this design in a grey, weathered or washed wood finish, creating a subtle warmth and texture to the room. This rustic design is a versatile option as it can easily cross over traditional decor styles like farmhouses and be introduced into modern interiors like urban lofts. This style often contrasts light, warm woods with matte black metals. With this rustic design, you instantly receive a natural, earthy feel. Therefore, I would consider introducing greenery and planting with this style regarding accessorising. Whether it's a large vase filled with leafy green florals or a low bowl or tray filled with moss balls, the combination of warm natural woods and green botanicals will instantly elevate your interior while creating a cohesive design.
The industrial console table is an amenable piece of furniture that would effortlessly complement several interior decor styles within your home; the warm timber tones of an industrial wood console table would work perfectly within a traditional interior with other rustic features like wooden ceilings and beams. The Industrial iron console table would sit perfectly in a cool loft interior where other unrefined elements like exposed brickwork and metal fixtures all add to this urban interior.
