Not crowded, nor empty. Simply perfectly styled. The trick? A formula from designers:
A Sculptural Object + A Stack of Books + An Organic Component
Three pieces and unlimited variations The Stack of Books 
Shop at Pottery Barn Start here to set the tone. A stack of console table books handles a lot, from adding both height and weight to producing a layered appearance without pulling excessive attention.
Pro Tip- Stay with a tight color scheme. Neutrals constantly win.
The Sculptural Item
Shop at Amazon Console table decoration is incomplete without shape & contrast, elements that are included by none other than a lovely sculptural object. Present it as a standalone, or utilize it as a base to display precious heirlooms.
Alternate Sculptural Minute
Store at Amazon Desire a softer appearance? Swap the bowl for a reading figurine or abstract sculpture. Exact same function, various mood, one that leans more individual and a little more lived-in.
The Organic Component for Console Table Design
Store at Amazon A tracking plant, a loose stem, or even a lot of dried florals softens the edges and breaks the structure just enough. Plus, it’s extremely easy to switch out with the seasons!
Pro Pointer- Let it spill a little. Completely included plants can feel stiff, while a bit of asymmetry makes the whole setup feel more natural.
