How to Custom Fit a Furniture Table Console Around Your Radiator
When looking for the perfect console table, most of us head to Google and type something like "furniture table console" and hope the right one appears. It becomes even harder when we have a radiator that we need it to fit around, or when we have a awkward space that it needs to fit into. Thankfully, we are here to help! With our free custom design service, you can be sure to get the perfect console table for your hallway.
One of the most common requests we receive is for a furniture table console that fits neatly around a radiator — especially in narrow hallways or entryways. But, how do you measure around your radiator for the perfect fit? Take a look at our handy guide below.
Step-by-Step: How to Measure for a Custom Furniture Table Console
We make everything from scratch in our Devon workshop, so creating a bespoke furniture table console is no problem at all. Here’s how to ensure a perfect fit:
- Measure the width of your radiator: Include the valves on either side for an accurate total width.
- Measure the height: From the bottom to top of radiator.
- Measure the depth: From the wall to the furthest point of the radiator or valve.
- Measure the floor gap: From the floor to the bottom of the radiator.
Once you have those three measurements, just send them to us via live chat or email. Our team will confirm the design and make any necessary adjustments to ensure your console table fits snugly and safely around your radiator.
How Much Does a Custom Console Table Cost?
Most custom modifications cost around £50 more than a standard size depending on the complexity. Because we build everything to order, these changes typically won’t increase your lead time. Standard turnaround is 4–6 weeks, even for custom builds like this.
All of our furniture table console pieces are available in a range of finishes, including Antique Oak, Antique Pine, Natural, and Limed Oak. And yes — every one is handmade by our team in Devon using beautiful reclaimed wood. If you have flooring that you're trying to match, or another piece of furniture, we also offer a colour matching service - often this is free, again depending on the complexity of the finish.
So whether you're looking for a slim hallway piece or a bold centrepiece that fits perfectly over your radiator, you're in the right place. We’re proud to offer a tailored solution that turns “furniture table console” into the perfect solution.

What measurements do I need?
We need the height, width (including valves), and depth from the wall to the furthest point. Please also leave 5–10cm of air gap above the radiator for heat to circulate.
Does a custom furniture table console cost more?
Usually only around £50, depending on the changes needed. We’ll always confirm the final price before we begin production.

In most cases, no. Since we build every piece from scratch, the lead time for custom and standard orders is generally the same — 4–6 weeks.
