Michael Aram Butterfly Ginkgo Console Table

I kept coming back to this piece because it looked like it would suit my front room, and it does. The room feels more grown-up now, but it still feels like a place we actually live in. I spent more time than expected deciding on the placement, though I am happy with it now.

There is a quiet confidence to the console table that works well in my hallway.

We use my entryway all the time, and the console table has fit into that routine without making the space feel precious. The piece adds definition, but the room still feels comfortable. I was aiming for something that would work with what we already owned, and this ended up being the right direction. The area feels intentional now instead of like a pass-through. For me, that makes the console table one of the better choices we made for my entryway.

The rest of our living area finally makes more sense around this console. From different parts of our living area, this console still feels like it belongs with everything else. The best part for me is that our living area still feels relaxed even with this console giving it more structure. What surprised me was how easy it was to keep the room feeling relaxed around it, especially when friends are over. I am pleased with the decision and with how our living area came together.
