A narrow glass console table which is a bit taller than ordinary tables is said to be a glass console table. It’s a versatile furniture item that can be put in any place like the living room, bedroom, entrance, hallway, or dining room. This table always stands against the wall or sofa back.
Why Do People Have Console Tables?
Due to its space-saving characteristics and unobstructed design, a console table is ideally used for areas having small spaces such as hallways and entrances. Moreover, this table is highly functional because of its storage space and can be used to put lamps and candles, and place other decorative items.
What Size Should A Console Table Be Bought?
If you want a console table behind a sofa, its height should not exceed the height of the sofa’s back. As far as the length is concerned, it should not exceed the length of the couch but should not be too short. Otherwise, it may give an awkward appearance. Mind the gap of at least 10 cm from either end of the console, so the corner of the sofa appears clearly from the back.

What type of console table should I buy?
A glass top console table with storage space is perfect to add accent with either open shelves or closed cabinets. It turns your cluttered space into a modern and minimalistic interior space.
If you have medium skill and love DIY projects, you can build a DIY glass console table at home. All you need is to buy a custom glass top and a few pieces of timber according to the size and dimensions of your choice.
Why are Glass Console Tables So Short in width?
On average, the hallway width varies from 90 cm to 100cm, so the console tables should not exceed more than 15 cm in width to allow for the maximum area for an easy walk-through. These tables are distinguished from other tables by having such a narrow width. And for that reason, they take up less floor space.
Can I Put a TV On a Console Table?
You can either put the TV on the glass top console table or above the table wall. In the former scenario, you can decorate walls with photo frames, wallpapers, and other decorative wall shelves.
While in the latter scenario, you are open to placing a TV remote, media player, or games control in addition to some decorative items on the smart console table. Even if the TV hangs on any wall, homeowners and interior designers love to use such tables beneath that TV.

How High Should Mirror be Above Glass Top Console Table?
Usually, a round mirror is preferred to be mounted such that its bottom edge should be around 20 cm above the console tabletop, while its dia should not exceed three-quarters of the table length. Using a much wider mirror will dwarf the table’s appearance, and hanging it at more height will vertically imbalance the interior look.
What is the Standard Height of a Glass Console Table?
On average, the glass console table should be 75cm tall. However, based on the variety of design and personal preferences, you can choose the height range anywhere from 70cm to 80cm.
Are Console Table and Sofa Table The Same Things?
Basically, the console table is also named the sofa table. However, console tables mostly have a bit more height than sofa tables because they are mostly placed against a wall at a custom height. On the other hand, the sofa tables are less tall to fit well behind the sofa.
Final Thoughts!
Whether you want to have an extra storage space or need to add a modern piece in your interior design, a glass console is the best choice. It takes up much less space but serves as a piece of highly functional furniture for any interior.
