A console looks best with fewer pieces, chosen well.
Start with something tall
A framed print or a mirror leaning on the wall sets the height.
Add a vase
One vase with a single dried stem or palm adds shape without clutter.
Something low and wide
A tray or a basket grounds the arrangement.
Light
A candle or a small lamp makes it glow in the evening.
Leave space
The space between pieces is part of the look.
