Coastal chic decor is a timeless favorite that effortlessly blends classic beauty with a fresh coastal feel. This style embodies the serene allure of coastal living, combining a white palette with subtle touches of gold to create an ambiance that’s both elegant and inviting.

If you’re drawn to the idea of infusing your living space with coastal chic charm, then this console table idea is tailor-made for you.

Items used:

Elegant white console table with drawers: Let’s start with the console table itself. If you’re using it in the entryway, choose a table with drawers. It’s perfect to drop your sunglasses, keys and other items when you get home. This console table is very elegant and light.

A pair of ceramic White Table Lamps: Then add two ceramic white lamps with a touch of gold, one on each side of your console table. If you don’t have plugs near the table, replace the bulb with these rechargeable light bulbs.

A stack of white faux books: Next, we’ve got a stack of white books. But here’s the twist – they’re not just books; they’re clever storage boxes that add some height, more storage and a touch of sophistication.

Faux Flowers in a clear glass vase: On top of these faux books, place a clear vase with lifelike faux calla lilies, for example, that adds a bit of nature to the mix and doesn’t need maintenance.

A white wooden box and Coastal Decor: A small white box (if it’s discontinued, here’s an alternative) keeps your keys and coins tidy. And to make things even more interesting, we’ve included a delightful fish sculpture. It’s coastal, right?

A classy Golden Mirror: A stylish rectangular gold frame mirror graces the wall above the console table, completing the coastal chic look. You can replace the mirror with one large coastal picture or gallery wall in a golden frame, just ensure that the chosen artwork or composition is larger than half the length of the console but not exceeding 2/3 of it.

Three Baskets: Under the console table, add three coastal blue and white rope baskets to store beach towels and other beach gear.

Make sure the objects fit your console table. You can use only one table lamp if you don’t have room for the pair.
