2. Using a storage friendly table
For something with storage options, you can consider a beautiful wooden console table with wired baskets nestled underneath. Hang charming decorations above it, or just opt for one to three layered photo frames like I mentioned above.
These baskets below are perfect for tucking away scarves, outside accessories or anything you need to grab on the go, while the top surface can be for decor or you can also place a tray here for keys!
3. Adding a mirror for a more spacious feel
This clever combo lets you check your reflection before heading out and also reflects light to add in more of an airy feel to your entryway (especially if there are windows nearby!).
4. Minimalist entryway idea
For a minimal version, you can opt for a small, circular mirror hanging above the smaller entryway table, maximizing the available walking space. This look is perfect for smaller entryways or for those who love a clean, uncluttered aesthetic.
5. Adding a vintage wooden element for easy farmhouse table decor
Liven up your entryway! End a table with a vintage vase, or with a vintage storage box. These elements are highly visible and they can be practical too!
6. Create a balance
All about balance! Sometimes, you want a little more on your entryway table without sacrificing flow. Two stylish lamps create a sense of symmetry and purpose. Below, two baskets balances the look while offering handy storage for essentials. This arrangement allows for a touch of personality with the lamps, while the baskets keep clutter at bay.
7. Making a statement with art
A vintage console table with drawers, or a statement painting that showcase your personality and artistic flair.
Add on a gold centrepiece bowl for your to-go items This look is perfect for those who love a conversation-starting entryway and don’t shy away from bold design choices.
8. Choosing the perfect colors
Color is a powerful tool! It sets the mood, reflects your personality, and can even make your entryway feel bigger or brighter. But you also don’t have to match your entryway exactly to the rest of your living room or adjacent space. It could have it’s own little moment!
9. Textures. Textures. Textures.
The key is to create a harmonious blend of textures. Rough and smooth, soft and hard, round shapes and angular shapes – play with contrasts to make your entryway table a balanced space.
Layer on a woven rug in a natural material like jute or seagrass for warmth and texture. Top it off with a statement piece cute decorative bowl in a contrasting color and a fluffy throw blanket and other cozy comfort decor items.
10. Collectibles and keepsakes
The key is to curate, not clutter! Choose a few meaningful pieces or travel souvenirs that spark joy and tell a story. Arrange them thoughtfully, using trays, candles or risers to create visual interest.
11. Circular tables
For smaller spaces or very angular feeling entryways, consider a circular table! It’s shape and simplicity allows the plant or feature item to take center stage. The balance with the circular shape creates a sense of flow in smaller entryways.
12. Shoe cabinet entryway table hack
This genius idea transforms a humble shoe cabinet into a stylish and functional entryway table! It’s perfect AND functional for small apartments, entryways with limited square footage. And for anyone who loves a good DIY project you can easily customize these with different knobs (especially the ikea shoe cabinets) or paint wash them.
