High Gloss Console Table Ideas for UK Living Rooms

A console table is one of the most adaptable pieces you can bring into a living room, and a high gloss finish opens up even more possibilities. Reflective surfaces lift the light, suit a wide range of styles and work hard in spaces of every size. This collection of ideas shows practical ways to put a glossy console to work in a UK living room. We look at using one behind the sofa as a subtle room divider in open plan spaces, as a layered lighting station with paired lamps, and tucked under a window to make the most of natural light. There is the classic mirror and console pairing for a brighter feel, using the surface as a rotating display for treasured pieces, and coordinating it with a matching sideboard for a cohesive scheme. We also cover compact rooms and seasonal styling. Whatever your space, these ideas will help your console bring light, function and personality to the room....
