Enhance your living space with these show-stopping styles.

Console tables are convenient pieces of furniture to store keys, phones, address books, plants and the like. A console table can even work well in small spaces, especially hallways, as they come in various shapes and sizes to fit even the most compact of spaces. Whether you're after a narrow console table, a console table with drawers, or even a mirrored console table, you'll be sure to find the right one for you.

As with most furniture, it will ultimately come down to preference and your own decorating style. Black console tables and white console tables are the most popular, as both will work with most interiors. However, mirrored console tables are also favoured for a luxe look, plus they're great for reflecting light. For a pared-back, natural look, choose wood and opt for an oak console table.

Narrow console tables are brilliant for narrow hallways and tight spaces. Some narrow console tables have drawers to provide space for keys and letters, while others are more decorative, perfect for displaying plants and coffee table books (with extra storage space underneath).

Console tables are versatile pieces and can be used for multiple functions. 'You should first consider what purpose you need your furniture to serve,'says Sam Baldry, Head of Design at Swoon. 'Having a clear idea of how you intend to utilise your table will help you asses which one is the right fit for your home.'

If you're searching for a hallway console table and you don't have a lot of space to play with, ensure it will be a beneficial addition to your entryway and that you can maximise its use. Either way, choosing a small console table will be your best option.

If you want a console table with storage then choose a design that comes with drawers. These are ideal if you need somewhere to store keys, post or personal belongings. Some console tables come with one large drawer, while others have two smaller drawers. You may even find a console table with a shelf below for extra storage.

Nadia McCowan Hill, Wayfair's resident style advisor, says choosing a console table with in-built drawers is the 'smart choice', adding: 'While the surface can act as a platform for a showcase of statement lighting, artwork and beautiful blooms, the in-built drawers will act as a brilliant place to pop incoming paperwork, keys and other bits and bobs.'
