Styling A Console: Where Art Meets Design
Styling a console table might seem daunting at first, but with the right tips, it can transform your entryway or living space into a work of art.
Consoles are the perfect mix of function and design, offering a place to showcase your personality and keep things organised.

Why Your Console Deserves Love
Your console isn’t just a piece of furniture—it’s a first impression.
Whether it’s in your entryway or behind a sofa, a well-styled console sets the tone for your home. It’s your chance to combine beauty with practicality.
To make your console shine:
• Create balance: Mix heights and textures for visual interest.
• Add layers: Use art, books, and accessories to create depth.
• Include functionality: A stylish tray for keys or a basket for shoes keeps the space tidy.
Styling a console is all about letting your personality shine through. And speaking of personality, let me introduce you to an artist whose work does exactly that.
The Search for Art That Pops
Six months. That’s how long I spent looking for the perfect art pieces to complement our showroom and my personal taste. I wanted something timeless yet bold, created by an Australian artist with a unique voice. Then, I found Lionia.
Lionia’s art caught my attention like a thunderstorm in the middle of a quiet night.
Her work is vibrant, layered, and full of soul. Think sweeping colours, textured brushstrokes, and pieces that almost speak to you. Her art doesn’t just hang on a wall—it demands to be noticed.

Styling with Lionia’s Art
If you’re lucky enough to own a piece of Lionia's Artwork, your console will instantly level up.
Lionia has one of Lumber's Recycled Timber Monarch Console's in her stunning art gallery in Chapel Street South Yarra.

Her work pairs beautifully with timber furniture, especially our handcrafted pieces. Imagine a console styled with:
• A Lionia artwork as the centrepiece.
• A few neutral accessories to let the painting take the spotlight.
• Natural elements like a vase of fresh eucalyptus or a textured ceramic bowl.
The trick? Keep it simple. Let the art and your console do the talking.
Styling Tips to Steal
Here’s a quick checklist to style your console with flair:
1. Start with a focal point: A piece of art or a mirror works wonders.
2. Layer in texture: Use timber, ceramics, and soft fabrics for variety.
3. Play with heights: Candlesticks, vases, and books add visual interest.
4. Add greenery: A pop of nature softens the look.
5. Keep it functional: Include a tray or basket for essentials.
Styling a console is about creating harmony and showcasing your story. Don’t overthink it—just have fun!
