A console table in your foyer can make a great landing strip for your keys, purse, and other daily essentials. But it can also just be pretty and fill an otherwise dead space. I love this foyer by interior designer Anne Coyle.

Melanie, of the fabulous Etsy shop Plum Cushion, lives in a seriously stylish 1941 Cape Cod in Seattle. The bones of her home are nice, but it's her cool palette and ability to modernize vintage pieces that really make it hip. One of my favorite elements was how she painted her Rococo sconces and mirror and her Chinoiserie console table to match the blue of her walls.

I'm absolutely in love with the shape of the Dessouschic Console Table ($11,334) by Noé Duchaufour Lawrence, and you also know how much I love white furniture. But unfortunately it is hilariously out of my price range. Lucky for me, there's a much, much, much more affordable alternative.

I often forget about Pier 1 because it doesn't do e-commerce, and there isn't a store very close to me. But that's not to say the retailer doesn't have a great selection — and great bargains. This Mirrored Two-Tier Console Table ($79.98, reduced from $149.95) is completely chic and versatile, and such a great deal.

I've been looking for a classic, affordable console table with nice curves to lighten the mood of some of my sleeker modern pieces, and I think I've found it. Aside from its partial engineered wood construction (also made of pine), I really can't go wrong with the JCPenney Collin Table ($149, reduced from $229). Its turned wood legs are timeless, its x-base is elegant and personable, and its black finish is certainly versatile.

We can thank the French for much of our decor vocabulary. The word "demi-lune" means "half moon" en Français. It's used to described the hemisphere-shaped tables you've come to know as "console" tables, which are designed to stand against a wall.

After-Christmas deals don't last long, but a good piece of furniture will. The West Elm Chunky Console Table ($150) is a stylish modern console that's versatile enough to be used as a landing strip, a console, a buffet, or even a bar table with a set of stools, depending on your needs. Go basic brown with an acorn finish, or infuse a little rouge into your home with a cinnabar finish.

I've been noticing these branch-base console tables at a few of my usual design haunts, and thought perhaps it's a growing a trend. I'm really loving the organic, textural quality they bring to a room, especially considering that many homes are leaning towards a more pared-down, modern look these days.
Good: Shown above is the Ballard Designs Faux Bois Demilune Table ($699, reduced from $1,495).

One AT:LA reader concealed something not-so-pretty with this stylish modern console table and landing strip in his loft. Can you guess what is hiding there?

I'm always on the lookout for a classic console table to serve as a landing strip for my everyday x, y, and z, on which I can also display decorative objects and books, etc., on a shelf below. I'm thinking that the Pottery Barn Potrero White Console Table ($249- $329, reduced from $359- $479) might just be the one. Crafted of aluminum, with an x-base that I love, it's sturdy, classic, and stylish, not to mention functional.
