Equal parts elegant and practical, a marble console table has the power to transform entrances and hallways into the prettiest parts of the house.

Marble console tables are often made with a wooden or metal frame and topped with contrasting polished marble for a smooth surface. But more decadent styles are made entirely of natural marble and make swoon-worthy statement pieces that last for generations.

A little more luxe than your standard console, these beauties are perfect for showing off your favourite candle holders and vases, and super handy for keeping your keys, wallet and phone where you can find actually find them!

How To Choose A Marble-Top Console Table

 

Marble furniture can be expensive, so it stands to good reason that you want to make a smart purchase. Here are our top considerations for buying a marble hall or entry table.

• Dimensions – Will your table live in a large room with space around it, or does it need to work in a narrow hallway? Checking your dimensions is the first step in choosing the right table.
• Purpose – Is your marble console table just for show or do you need a piece that is both functional and stylish? Consider whether you need drawers to hide keys and wallets, or if you want a clean look just for show.
• Price – If you’re looking for a console table that will be with you for years to come, it’s definitely worth spending a little more to ensure quality that will last forever. But if you’re on a tight budget, don’t worry! Great styling can turn a budget table into a work of art!
• Colour and style – Will your table sit against pink wallpaper, or perhaps next to a stunning mid-century chair? Consider your interior style before you choose a table. Look for complementary shades and similar materials for continuity.
• Materials – Take into account that marble is a porous material that can stain easily or mark from the acid in lemon and lime juice. It can also chip quite easily, so think about the impact regular use could have on your table before you opt for a marble top.
