1. Ignoring the purpose of the table
Many people buy a console table simply to fill a space without thinking about how it will be used. Is it purely decorative? Will it hold daily-use items like keys or chargers? Will you need drawers or shelves?
If your goal is to organise entryway clutter or style your hallway, choose a wooden console table that offers both surface space and hidden storage. DZYN Furnitures offers functional designs that meet real lifestyle needs.
2. Choosing the wrong size for the space
One of the most common mistakes is selecting a console table that’s either too large or too small. A table that’s too big overwhelms the room. Too small, and it looks awkward.
Measure the width, height, and depth of the area where you plan to place the console table. For compact corners, a narrow design works best. For spacious rooms, opt for longer models with additional shelves.
3. Not matching the interior style
It’s easy to fall for a beautiful piece online—but not every table suits every home. A modern space may not pair well with an ornate traditional console table. Likewise, a minimalist design can look out of place in a heritage-style setting.
DZYN Furnitures offers everything from carved wooden pieces to sleek modern styles, making it easier to find a console table that fits your home’s theme.
4. Overlooking storage needs
Some console tables look great but offer little to no storage. If you plan to use it in high-traffic areas like the hallway or living room, look for drawers, bottom shelves, or closed compartments.
A console table for living room use should be both decorative and practical—somewhere you can store remotes, magazines, or everyday essentials.
5. Forgetting about styling possibilities
Once you place your console table, how will you style it? People often forget to think about what will go above and around the table—wall mirrors, art frames, lamps, or small plants.
A vintage console table looks amazing when styled with antique frames or brass accessories. A traditional console table can complement pooja essentials or cultural décor. Plan for the full look, not just the table.
6. Prioritising looks over quality
A cheap console table might look nice in photos but may not last long. Poor joints, flimsy surfaces, or lightweight materials won’t survive regular use.
All console tables from DZYN Furnitures are built using strong wood, smooth finishes, and functional hardware. When buying furniture, investing in quality always pays off.
7. Underutilising versatile designs
A console table isn’t fixed to one function. Many people miss out by keeping it limited to a single space. These tables work great in bedrooms, dining rooms, and even as compact work-from-home desks.
If you buy a quality wooden console table, you can move it as your needs change—giving you more value over time.
