Most consoles don’t look styled… they look like random décor placed on a surface. And usually, it’s not because you chose the wrong pieces — it’s because they’re not working together visually. Here’s the styling principle designers use to instantly make a console feel balanced and intentional: the triangle rule. Instead of placing items at the same height or spacing everything evenly, create visual movement by forming a triangle between your objects. This allows the eye to travel naturally across the styling instead of stopping in one place. In this example: • The artwork creates the main visual anchor and height • The tall vase builds the second point and adds softness and texture • The candleholders ground the arrangement and introduce repetition • The ottoman below completes the composition by visually connecting the styling to the floor When heights, scale, and grouping are thoughtfully layered like this, the console feels styled instead of cluttered or unfinished. This is one of the easiest ways to elevate a space without buying more décor — it’s about placement, proportion, and composition. As designers, we’re always thinking about how each piece relates to another so the space feels cohesive and finished rather than randomly decorated. Bored with your space?
