The Console - Use One in Every Room - Part 2

In Part 1 on The Console, I shared the list of my favorite consoles priced under $500.  Depending on the style, we talked about various uses for this multi-purpose piece of furniture.  This is a great selection, all price under $500.  Each piece is pictured and price with link to shopping site in Part 1.




Now I will show you visual ideas for the use of consoles in some unexpected rooms and spaces.

This console below is a really classic piece from Grandinroad, which is part of the Frontgate Group, priced  under $400.

Grandinroad $399




 Here are some things I gathered from OLIOBOARD, the premier online site for creating mood boards, and I thought would show you how this piece would be used in a variety of rooms.
You could use this similar design in a:
          Foyer, Family Room, Living Room, Master Bedroom, wider hallway, upstairs Landing, and any area of the home where there is space to just sit down and enjoy the space.

Here is the finished look for this Grandinroad console:


     Our next console is a prize purchase from Target.com.  This stylish and trending soft grey with white accents piece is only $340, and use Targets ship to store option to escape the pesky delivery fees.












Here is a selection of things I have pulled together to fashion a sophisticated Guest or Master Bedroom.  Some of these items are very pricey and yet Target's piece fits right into the plan.

 Here is the finished look for this welcoming room, enhanced by the addition of a $340 console.



The next console is a favorite of mine, this piece is really multi purpose.  I am showing it to you in two completely different settings.  The piece is from Crate and Barrel and also well priced.


The first arrangement is used in a typical Living Room application.  Used behind the back of a sofa which has it's back facing into the room.  Great spot for extra lighting as needed.


The last image is of a more unexpected use for this style of console.  You can use it as a breakfast table or quick snack place in a small kitchen area.
