A hall table in the entrance area and hallway offers a practical surface for keys, gloves, handbags and other small items, or even for a vase or a picture for decoration. Most hallways are rather small and narrow, so furniture cannot be too large and especially not too deep; instead, it should take up less space. As side tables for the hallway, but also for the office and living area, hall tables are therefore ideal for storing small items, especially in narrow and smaller rooms.
As hallway furniture, there are hall tables with or without drawers or compartments, which create additional storage space and in which small utensils can quickly disappear. On the tabletop of such a console table, there is enough space for all the small items that you put down at the coat rack when you come home. Of course, you can also place these items in small decorative baskets that you have placed on the tabletop of the coat rack table, and thus quickly bring order to chaos.
Hall tables can also serve as side tables in the office, study, living room or dining room as a useful piece of furniture. Here, things that are frequently needed but not ideally placed on the actual work surface or dining table can be stored. Above all, these small tables usually have a relatively shallow depth, so that they can be easily placed against the wall and take up little space.
Hall tables fit most furnishing styles and, depending on their design, convey rusticity, elegance, a country house feeling or even an industrial look. Due to the wood and the surface treatment of the tabletop, you will find different color schemes, interesting patterns and grains; due to the shapes of the tabletops and table edges, these side tables are often unique one-of-a-kind pieces.
Natural forms such as root slices and so-called live edges are very trendy; they convey originality and make every console table a unique table.
All hall tables are characterized by their slender shape. They can be easily placed in narrow rooms and are versatile.
