When it comes to picking out living room furniture, side and coffee tables are the two surfaces that typically come to mind. But sometimes it pays off to let your imagination loose for a little bit. To squeeze in some extra surface space, people are embracing L-shaped console tables that wrap around their sofas. Yes, you read that right: not next to or in front of—around. Here are a few of our favorite corner tables that maximize storage for books, souvenirs, WFH essentials, and more.
