To find something new for your space, check out all the entry, sofa and hall console tables on Houzz. Depending on your design preference, they come in many different styles and materials, including wood, metal and glass. It can either complement or substitute for your current furniture. This long, skinny table goes directly behind your sofa, so it doesn't take up much space yet can still be used for additional storage and decor. They can even work as makeup vanities or small-space desks! What is a sofa table? A narrow sofa table is a form of console table, though its placement is what makes it unique. A narrow console table also works well in living rooms, either placed on the wall or butted up against the sofa. Just add a basket for trinkets, a nearby coat hook and a lamp to complete the look of your entryway console table. Before you buy a sofa table for your space, here's what you should consider: What can I use a console table for? This furniture's ideal placement is near your front door, since a foyer table makes a great drop spot for keys, bags and accessories. Whether you prefer a dramatic mirrored console table or a traditional white console table, there are many different options to accommodate all styles. Also called sofa tables, entry tables and hall tables, this multi-purpose piece of furniture serves as both a convenient drop spot and extra storage station. But it really became a highlight of the room.Because of its narrow width and long length, a console table can squeeze into just about any hallway, entry or small living room. This thing came packaged like it was the hope diamond, and everyone was terrified to handle it. I mean it is really, really amazing in person. This geometric “grasscloth” adds so much depth and dimension that was just missing before. Together with Molly, we selected the most perfect wallpaper. We designed and customized bedding, chairs and window treatments. In a bedroom everything should be on dimmers, right? Right.

We built in layers of lighting with dimmers. We decided to spice things up by painting the trim work in the room black. My goal was to add edge to its otherwise traditional style. Next, we reviewed mood boards and fabric schemes that would work for both Molly and her hubby Patrick. I came up with a space plan with three options. Here’s the highlights of the rest of the project: Molly and her husband Patrick loved the finished space, and promised me I will be back to finish the rest of the house! The craziest part was that by adding more furniture, it actually made the space feel larger. I don’t get jealous of too many of my clients’ spaces, but this one still takes my breath away every time I look at the pics! With Molly giving me complete creative freedom, I planned everything out and got down to business.

Before she even showed me the room in question, she said that I could have full creative license to do what I needed to do to her bedroom. This can produce lackluster results and ultimately cause more time (and money) to be spent on a project than is really necessary. Unfortunately, a client can unintentionally stifle a designer’s creativity through micro-management. They want to make sure that everything, down to the last floral arrangement, is to their liking, because they will have to live it (and pay for it). Rightfully so, they are investing a pretty penny in their homes. Many people are terrified of hiring a designer.

Molly desperately longed for a place that she could spend time in, read in, play in and above all, relax in. She was witty, realistic, and understood that as much as she loves my shows on HGTV, design does not does not happen in 43 minutes! She told me about her space, and how she felt that her bedroom seemed “blah” to her. When we first started talking in the spring of 2015, I was impressed.
