Trend #12: Skirted Console Tables
Classic, historical design elements consistently and reliably cycle back into modern favor, and the elegantly skirted table currently reigns supreme in stylish, highly edited interiors. You rapidly introduce tailored softness and unexpected, sweeping elegance to a cold entryway or an awkward hallway corner by draping a simple wooden console in heavily weighted linen, crisp cotton percale, or a rich, densely patterned chintz.
This perfectly tailored fabric completely obscures the dark area directly beneath the table, instantly creating an expansive, entirely hidden storage zone. You easily and quickly slide bulky filing boxes, heavy winter snow boots, or even large pet crates directly behind the heavy fabric panels.
A well-tailored skirt featuring sharp, inverted pleats or heavy bullion fringe actively elevates the piece from a simple, utilitarian table to a completely bespoke design feature. You effortlessly solve your most complex decluttering challenges by brilliantly disguising them behind beautiful, high-quality textiles.
