A narrow console table with stools is an ideal way to create an alternative to a kitchen island with barstools if you have limited space. You can attach a half-moon style to the wall and place stools in front of it, but that slide under the table when not in use. You can also use a long rectangular style, very narrow console table with stools to set under a window to provide a sort of bar effect with a view. This can be in the kitchen to give added counter and eating space, or may be used in a studio style apartment where everything is open and there’s no space for a large central dinning table, or can be added to a small balcony area or terrace that has a wall at least 4 feet high.
Placing a Console Table Under Window Ledges and Sills
The idea of a console table under window ledges or flush with a sill, may give almost any space new life. For example, it needn’t be a kitchen or a bar concept, but a small writing desk. How? Easy. Get a narrow console table with stools that matches your bedroom, living room, den or office décor. Place the console in front of the window and slide one or two stools under it. If you have chosen a table that is high and has a drawer that will be useful to store notepads and pens. It may not be the place where you do your work everyday, but it’s a place where you can sit, look out the window, write letters or make lists and take a break from your desk. When not in use keep fresh flowers on the console table and try to avoid heavy curtains or draperies on the window. A simple valance or nothing more than sheers is enough. If the room is in apartment on a high floor, why not leave the window bare – no curtains or blinds to give a clear view when you sit there.
Create a Basement Bar with a Narrow Console Table with Stools
If you’re doing some basement renovation on a budget and your space is limited, try creating a bar with a wooden console table that has tall legs. Place it against a wall or leave it in the middle of the floor like an island, then slide some stools around it, about 4 should be enough. Hang a few wine glass rack overhead and a funky light to illuminate the bar and voila! for a couple hundred dollars you could have a basement bar. Remember that it doesn’t matter what your theme is. If you want a chic look, try a glass console table with some chrome stools. If your décor is wood, try a mission console table with low stools, saddle stools would be perfect. Create a country cozy American bar or a Boston retro red and chrome look just by selecting the right height and style of your narrow console table with stools, or by placing a console table under window ledges…yes, even in a basement…to take advantage of the light from even a small window. Just remember to measure the height of the table and buy the stools not too high, or buy a narrow wall mounting table (or build your own easily with a prefab shelf you can buy from almost any home improvement center ) and attach it high enough on the wall to accommodate a set of bar height stools.
