Console tables are the unexpected champions of interior design because of their ability to blend seamlessly into any space and wide range of uses. Whether it’s the first place you put your keys or for displaying your favourite objects and photos – this is a piece of furniture that delivers every time.
But how do you make sure it suits your space and design perfectly? As with everything at Meraki, you get to make the important design decisions.
Our Console tables are available in five sizes ranging from 800mm to 1400mm in length with five leg options in powder coated steel and European Oak to complement the 20 colour choices on offer too.
Once you’ve decided which works best for you, only then do we use our experience and expertise to start handcrafting it. Each table is made to order using sustainable European Oak and is then ready to be delivered 4-6 weeks later.
We’re always on hand to answer any questions you may have and encourage you to visit our Warrington Design Studio and workshop where you can view all our sizes, leg styles and tonal options.
Even though Herringbone patterns have been around since Roman times, it has recently seen a resurgence and has become a popular way of introducing pattern to a room – as well as a bit of wow factor!
We craft our Herringbone tables using sustainable prime grade European Oak which is character and knot-free to reveal the elegant geometric pattern.
The surface is then finished using one of our eco-friendly hardwax oils which contain no solvents, are food friendly, hardwearing and easily maintained.
Choose the size which works both for your room and your practical needs. Our console tables are available in five lengths ranging from 800mm to 1400mm, all made to a standard height of 752mm.
Whatever size you require you can feel rest assured that we’ll make it to both fit your space and be functional for your family.
Console legs are always on show, so we’ve given you five leg styles to choose from, including powder coated steel and European Oak options. You get to design your table to fit the colour and style of your scheme.
There will be many factors that go into selecting the right tonal option for your console table and when done correctly it’ll help pull everything together.
Considerations should be the physical space you have available, the natural light entering the room, other furniture tones, and the textures of any soft furnishings or accessories that’ll be sharing the same space.
The natural light that flows into your room is the first step in determining which tonal options will work best. If your room is small and doesn’t get enough sunlight, consider lighter tones to lift the area, make it feel lighter and more spacious. Likewise, if your space is larger with lots of light, consider a darker tone with lighter walls and make it a statement piece.
The second step is to contemplate the colour scheme of the room. Think in terms of temperature.
Paint colours often give a feeling of warmth or cold. Current trends are using colours of whites, neutrals, greens, and blues. White & Blue can feel cooler in temperature and often lend themselves to darker brown furniture tones.
Greens feel a little warmer and work well with both neutrals and honey tones. Accessorised well neutral-coloured tables also work with neutral wall colours.
When selecting a tonal option its also good to have splashes of the same colour in the form of other items of free-standing furniture, shelving, and accessories to help pull everything together.
Avoid trying to match furniture or flooring as it’ll all blend and the table will appear lost. Consider opting for two tones darker or complimenting other items of furniture in the same space.
We pride ourselves on delivering bespoke console tables at prices similar to what you’ll find on the High Street.
