Console table behind sofa – 2 levels of storage shelves for living room

Add a touch of both functionality and elegance to your living room with this ultra-slim console table designed to fit behind a sofa or along a wall. Its clever two-tiered design maximizes storage and decorative display space without cluttering the room.

Main features

• Ultra compact depth: 11.81″ (~30 cm) — Ideal for small spaces, this table fits easily behind a sofa while maintaining comfortable clearance for movement.
• Double level of shelves — The upper shelf accommodates decorative objects, lamps, plants or books, while the lower level serves as additional storage (baskets, magazines, accessories).
• Refined style & adaptability — Its design combines simplicity and elegance: slim profile, clean lines, wood finish (or wood + metal depending on the model) which matches a modern, Scandinavian, or rustic-chic decor.
• Versatile use — More than just a table behind a sofa: it can also serve as an entryway console, an extra table in a hallway, or a piece of furniture behind a bench.
• Space optimization — Thanks to its shallow depth and two levels, the console allows you to organize and decorate even narrow areas, while adding character to your living room.

Why this console is a good choice

In a contemporary living room where every centimeter counts, this console table becomes a true asset: it offers storage and style without sacrificing the flow of movement. The two shelves multiply the usable surfaces for displaying accessories, lamps, books, or plants, while its shallow depth makes it a discreet yet striking solution. The balance between form and function is at the heart of this design.

Layout suggestions

• Place it behind a sofa: add a lamp at a height – slightly higher than the back of the sofa – to create ambient lighting.
• On the top shelf: a tall vase or a plant arrangement, a slim lamp, a pretty serving tray. On the bottom shelf: wicker baskets, neatly arranged books, a low plant.
• Choose a wall decoration just above: a rectangular mirror, an XXL photo frame or a painting to accentuate the verticality and visually enlarge the space.
• Combine materials: wood + black metal, or light wood + neutral textiles (grey, off-white) for a "living room, workshop" or "rustic chic" effect.

Interview & recommendations

• Simple assembly: numbered parts and screws provided (allow one person depending on size).
• Daily maintenance: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. To preserve the wood finish, avoid abrasive or excessively wet products.
• For indoor use only. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or humidity to preserve the color and texture.

💡 Transform a discreet space behind your sofa into a useful and decorative area — this 11.81″ console is the perfect solution to combine clever storage and controlled style in your living room.
