Design Trend: Shapely Console Legs

Here at Styleture, we feel it’s time to give you a “leg up” on head-turners offering fresh design perspectives in the console vanity category. What first comes to mind when one hears “console” is usually a vintage style sink supported by metal rod legs. Well, creative high-design thinking has transformed the serviceable console into a statement-maker that will add unexpected pizzazz to your next bathroom or powder room design—whether you’re looking for Hollywood glamour, modern chrome magic, neoclassical elegance or vintage style with flair.

Check out the shapely gams on these consoles from Devon & Devon and Watermark Designs:

The Serenade Console from Devon & Devon sets a black fire-clay ceramic top above two exquisitely detailed, tapered cast aluminum legs in an antique nickel finish. The neoclassical fluting and discreetly imperfect finish make it an easy coordinate in traditional, transitional or eclectic style baths. The legs are also available in white or black fire-clay ceramic; the top is also offered in white fire-clay ceramic.

The Rose Console from Devon & Devon draws inspiration from the fashionable curves of the fifties. The rounded edges of the rectangular porcelain washbasin are echoed in the slender towel bars below it. The cast aluminum legs, available in chrome, light gold or polished nickel finish, begin with added smooth turned brass elements and taper to a delicate slender end like a ballerina en pointe.

The Claridge Console from Devon & Devon reflects the art deco era, blending several materials into a tailored, unified design with crisp angles and fine linear detailing. The console materials include: aluminum legs, a brass frame, Thassos marble sides and a porcelain basin. The legs and frame are offered in chrome, white gold and polished nickel finishes. Any marble specified in the Devon & Devon catalog can be substituted for the Thassos.

The Marlene Console from Devon & Devon projects Hollywood-style modern glamour, updating its 18^th century design inspiration with shiny finishes and smooth surfaces. The New Etoile sink, offered in both white and exclusive black porcelain, adds to the dramatic elegance of the piece. The fused aluminum frame, with parts in turned brass, is available with chrome, light gold or polished nickel finish.
