When decorating a modern silver console table, it's all about layers. You want to use items of varying heights, sizes, and shapes to make for a dynamic display piece. Consider stacking books, adding flowers in a decorative vase, a pair of candleholders, or even a pair of sleek, metallic table lamps perfect for brightening an entryway or hallway. A round or rectangle mirror or piece of wall art centers the console table, while storage pieces like felt baskets or marble trays line bottom shelves to keep out-the-door essentials close by for easy access.
