Need help finding a console table for behind my couch

3 years ago

Help! I recently repainted this room I wanted to brighten it up. I would like to add a console table behind my couch. I don't want anything dark but I want it to match my decor. I would love to buy all new furniture but that is not in my budget right now. Any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

    Your selection should be lower than the back height of the sofa.

    IMO brightening up a space requires more lighting and as for the console how much walk space do you have behind the sofa IMO at least 42" from the edge of the carpet to the back of the sofa as it is and the same 42" need from the edge of the console to the edge of the carpet. So post tha measurment please . Some art on the walls too .

    I have 52 inches from the carpet to the back of the couch. The room is very large I can also move the couch in a few inches if needed.

    I know you mentioned you wanted light, but suggest not introducing another wood tone, given adjacent tones in wood flooring, coffee table and TV unit. A metal or glass/metal can feel airy, especially with the right accessories. The advantage is when you do purchase new furniture, it is pretty adaptable.

    Thanks, Angela. Hey, that swag on the window has to go. You could do just drapery panels on the windows that don't get closed.

    How do you live with no lamps in that space?! I don't even see pot lights in the ceiling. I too would want a sofa table for lamps if nothing else but where would they plug in?? Your table should be similar to the wood of the TV console or the metal of your side tables if you want the room to look cohesive. The rule is two hits of any one wood/metal in your case for tables for it not to look like a garage sale. I would not introduce something that will have to stand alone at this point. I am sure the fan is very needed for air flow but the suggested lower chandelier would also be lovely.
