Curves can create a certain atmosphere in a room, but too many become boring. Angles help to balance a room and, when used correctly, can be used as the only decorative element in a room. Angles help define and divide different spaces, lead the viewer around the room, and liven up a dull or sleepy atmosphere.

Angles are found most prominently in furniture. While you may not think about it, you are constantly surrounded by angles. They’re in many tables, chairs, and shelves that make up our rooms.

A console table is thinner than a dining table and taller than a coffee table. This is an advantage for the modern home owner. It’s tall enough to store items such as keys and accessories within easy reach, while its still thin enough to rest against the wall in a narrow hallway or room.

If you’re constantly throwing your keys and purse onto the couch or floor and losing them, consider placing a console table in the hallway by the front door. It will be right in your line of sight when you return home. A glass bowl can hold loose items like watches, billfolds or even jewelry, and hanging a mirror above the table gives you a quick place to tidy up before heading out.
