Entryway table decor ideas – interior designers explain how to make a great first impression
For many, entryway table decor ideas have become a recent obsession. They're the new must-have vignette for your home – a place to display the perfect cut branch with a few curated objet that encapsulate your design style.
Entryway tables set the tone for what the rest of your home is going to present guests, a glimpse of what's to come once they make it through into the rest of your space.
Yet, however you might focus on the good looks of your entryway table, it can serve a practical use too, so consider decor which best serves your overall hallway ideas.
ENTRYWAY TABLE DECOR IDEAS
First things first – before you can decorate your entryway table, you need to find the right piece of furniture for the space.
'Entryways are the first impression of your home, and you want it to make a statement, while still having it flow with the rest of your space,' say interior designers . 'When decorating an entryway, considering the scale and shape of the table are equally important. A round table is a great solution to fill an odd or large area nicely, while a long rectangular console can be perfect against an empty wall with the proper styling.'
1. CREATE JUXTAPOSITION

'When we choose accessories we will mix materials, looking for pieces that are a juxtaposition to the furniture they are placed on,' says interior designer. 'So if its a wood bench, we'll want to choose a different material like glass or a ceramic.'
In this narrow hallway, jade figurines and draping florals create an interesting form against a low console table.
2. CHOOSE OBJECTS THAT MEAN SOMETHING TO YOU

Where you're styling console table decor, you can afford to be selective with your choices. Plus, by choosing something which means something to you, it's likely to be seen by most people entering the house – everyone has to pass through this room after all.
'When styling a console or entry table, we like to look for accessories with a soul and a story,' says Benjamin Stelly, the co-founder of Stelly Selway. 'They can be found items or antiques, but your styling will be original and automatically elevated. We gravitate towards pieces from makers who have a relevance to the client or project, that speak specifically to their interests.'
3. PLAY WITH HEIGHT

'No matter the table, styling with different heights and textures is crucial,' says Kelley Lentini, co-founder of interior design studio House of Nomad. Stacking books is a great way to artificially add height if needed, as well as acting as book organization, as shown on this entryway table as a way to round out the styling and pair with the matching glass vases.
'For this project, it was also important to add color in this otherwise black and white foyer to bring in a sense of warmth and texture, without it feeling overdone,' adds Kelley. Read More...
