Help me select a media console and side table! Any advice appreciated.

Hi there. I just moved in to my first solo apartment (!) and do not own a ton of furniture. Two pieces I am struggling with are the media console and a side table.

Media Console

  • I like wooden consoles, but am worried about it clashing with my coffee table (screenshot in image but backordered until Aug), floors (cool-tone vinyl wood) and kitchen (warm wood cabinets).
  • I have a cement pillar that juts out 10 inches from the wall and is 36 inches wide. Personally, I like the look of long narrow consoles, but i think something closest to 36 inches might look better?
  • The unit is north facing, so whatever i can do to lighten it up will help.
  • I have attached some example mock-ups of consoles I've looked at.

Side Table

  • Same note about lightening up the space and wood tones.
  • Would love to bring in a different texture: marble, travertine, cane, etc.
  • I would like it to be big enough to put a lamp (and a dinner plate!) on.

Thank you!!
