Large, oversized items can look overwhelming on a smaller table, while tiny objects might feel lost on a larger one. Studio McGee suggests grounding the bottom of open consoles with more substantial items to balance visual weight.

Styling Tips and Tricks

One way I do this is by incorporating storage into my console table design. For example, I might add storage baskets underneath the table to keep things like shoes, bags, and other items neatly tucked away.
