Console style

Friday, March 10, 2017 · Leave a Comment 

An elegant console table in an entryway, hallway or master suite is a great opportunity to purchase an interesting piece of furniture.  We love that you can style console tables in so many different ways.  Adding interesting lighting, art piece or sculptural decorative elements, are all ways to make a style your own.  We have been lusting over some of these thoughtful console table styling combos.

The contrasting style of this modern console table against the traditional wall moldings makes for such an interesting pair.  The look is taken further by adding the beautiful contemporary wall lighting to highlight the decorative art displayed on the console.

A totally different look and altogether change of pace, is this contemporary beach house entry console.  The hints of blue and organic nods to the ocean complete this look and make for a stunning welcome to this beach retreat.

A much more refined and luxurious look is offered by this lacquered wood and brass console table.  The styling has been kept simple and consistent with a brass lamp and vase.

This burled wood console piece is quite the attention grabber.  We love the contrast of the console’s sharp dramatic edges, paired with the more organic smooth shapes of the other furniture in the room.

A vintage mid-century modern console table is styled with a collection of matte black pottery and other sculptural art pieces.  The simple black artwork and sculptures work well with the polished black wood floors.

Book Matched Marble

Book matched marble is a luxurious statement whether it be in a grand master bathroom, a swanky hotel bar or a stunning contemporary fireplace.  The designs in the natural stone create beautiful patterns when book matched and each holds unique qualities of its own.  The dramatic black and white book matched marble back drop in this bathroom pairs perfectly with the gold chandelier for a glamorous look.

One of the most popular places that we see book matched marble lately is in the bathroom.  A phenomenal statement can be made in a walk-in shower or as a back drop to a free-standing tub.  This example shows a large rectangular niche for bath products.  The pattern runs all the way through the cut out and aligns perfectly without interrupting the veining in the marble.

A very funky and glamorous example of book matched marble is shown here at this master sink vanity.  More is more with this design.  The warm, caramel colored marble vanity wall ties into the mosaic marble floor.

The warmth and clarity in the design of the book matched marble slabs makes this contemporary fireplace the star of the room.  The rich, chocolate brown accent wall behind it and white bricks bring texture and depth to the space.

A fantastic piece of iconic architecture, the Barcelona Pavilion by Mies van der Rohe, showcases book matched marble ahead of its time.  The rose and rusty colored stone create the most beautiful contrast from the cool blue stone wall in the background.
