You may not think entry table decoration is important. If so, it’s time for you to reconsider how your entryway can add a touch of class to your home. Do not take your space for granted as it’s easy to let your entryway become cluttered.
Shoes, keys, and small personal belongings add undue daily stress. When you designate a place for such items, you won’t waste time trying to find them. With a stylish entryway table, not only would it make your life easier, but would give your entryway an added touch of class.
If this sounds like something you could use, then you’ll like the following examples.
Where to Place an Entryway Table
View in gallery
Most entryway tables are designed to be placed flat against the wall since most entryways are not large enough for a console table to be placed in the center of the foyer. This is one of the reasons most console tables you’ll find are square or rectangular.
An entryway table should be placed directly across from your front entry if possible, as this will create a symmetrical look even if you choose an asymmetrical arrangement for the table itself. However, entryway tables are also a good fit for stair alcoves if your stairs are connected to the front foyer.
How To Choose An Entryway Table
View in gallery
Choosing your console table from a furniture store? You’ll need to think some things through before you settle on the one you want. Take these steps before you decide which entryway table to choose for your layout:
- Measure the space. You’ll need to know exactly how much room you have in your entryway to choose a table that’s appropriate for the space. You don’t want to buy a table and get it home only to find that it’s too bulky to comfortably fit in your entryway.
- Check your style. If you have a coastal interior, you’ll want a very different-looking console than someone who has a farmhouse or modern interior.
See what kind of furniture is paired with the consoles in the store to get an idea of how it would look with other pieces. - Choose a function. While a console table can be purely decorative, you can also find console tables that incorporate storage for books or even a small wine rack. Knowing how you want the table to work in your home can help you pick one that fits your needs.
At the end of the day, the entryway table you choose should be the one you love best as long as it fits in the space. Since there isn’t a lot of furniture in a foyer, you’re free to make your entryway table the focal point of the room.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)FAQ
What Is The Purpose Of An Entryway Table?
In some cases, the purpose of styling your entryway table is purely decorative. These small tables function as a surface to place items such as picture frames, flower vases, and other miscellaneous decors that may not have a home elsewhere.
Why Is An Entryway Table Called A Console?
While many people associate the word “console” with “TV console,” the term console actually refers to an architectural feature. The brackets used to brace these small tables from underneath are known as consoles, from the Latin consolidare, or “to strengthen.”
These strengthening brackets make the tables sturdy enough to hold the weight of stored items without collapsing.
How Tall Are Entryway Tables?
The average height of an entryway table is roughly thirty inches tall. This would put the entryway table at approximately waist height for most people.
Where Do You Put On Entryway Tables?
An aquarium would be something different while also creating a stylish entryway.
Keep in mind that your console table may not be rated to support the heavy weight of a larger aquarium, so be sure to keep your tank at five gallons or under unless you’re getting a console table made of sturdier material, like wrought iron.
What Is The Standard Width Of An Entryway Table?
The width of an entryway table depends on the table’s style, but most entryway tables are designed to be long and narrow so they don’t obstruct the foyer. The width of entryway tables can range from two to five feet depending on the overall size of the piece.
Entry Table Decoration Conclusion
A small entryway table is the tiny pebble that’s thrown into calm water, creating a ripple effect that becomes a tsunami. And that’s a good thing. Decorating ideas should be original and fresh. Play your game and everything else will fall into place. Wall art would be a fun way to start if you chose something unexpected.
Your home’s entryway is the first impression of your home’s interior.
If you want to make a good impression, spend some time thinking about an entryway that would blow the minds of those who entered your home.
Redecorating this space is easy to achieve with little time or money. Have fun sprucing up the area, and it will put a smile on your face every time you return home from work in the evening.
How to style a console table: 18 ideas for entryways and more
(Image credit: Future)
Decorating and styling a console table, whether in your entryway, living room, even bedroom, can make or break a room. A console table is, after all, a prominent piece of furniture.
Leave it to gather dust and clutter and it will become an eyesore, but curate it elegantly and it will instantly lift a room. Leaving its surface empty is a missed opportunity, too, to create a wonderful vignette.
Here, we’ve put together console table styling solutions for your entryway table decor and to add to your collection of living room ideas for a space that’s elegant, appealing, and individual in its design.
How to style a console table
Much like coffee table styling ideas, color, line, texture, and scale of items such as table lamps, objets, artwork, and books are all important considerations when considering how to style a console table, whether it is located in a contemporary or more traditional space.
We asked some of the world's best interior designers for their top five rules on decorating a console table for impact – ideal for your arsenal of entryway ideas.
1. Make space for a console in a small space
(Image credit: Chris Snook)
'There's no denying that even small entryways benefit from a beautifully styled console table, though you may need to be clever with the design to keep the space feeling streamlined,' says Lucy Searle, Editor in Chief, Homes & Gardens.
'I love the way this console table has been cleverly conjured up with a wall hung shelf; the fixings are hidden behind a smart profile above the radiator (which will also help keep the heat from rising), and the small lamps are battery-run, keeping the finish neat.
Topped with a perfectly proportioned mirror and wall light, the space feels luxuriously elegant, without feeling compromised.'
2. Put a console table to good use
(Image credit: Rachael Smith)
Not every dining room needs a buffet or sideboard for storage, and if space is tight, it is actually better swap out solid pieces of furniture for less bulky pieces. This is where console tables can come into their own. You can style your console with a tray of drinks (it's the perfect small home bar), keep your candles there when they're not in use and place a lamp on the top to create an inviting pool of light. As always, placing a picture just above the console will ensure the vignette feels complete.
3. Decorate a console with a curated display
(Image credit: Future PLC / Tom Leighton)
Every great console display needs a picture or mirror sat just behind it – and not so high up that it feel disconnected from it.
'We love the idea of a console styled up with a curated collection,' says Jennifer Ebert, Homes & Gardens' Deputy Editor.
'This could be items brought back from your travels, or simply some exotic finds picked up at Currey & Co .
4. Create a cohesive look
(Image credit: Future)
Consider working with a theme for the objects on a console table for a cohesive look. Here, an antiqued glass mirror takes center stage, with a range of objets in a range of natural tones displayed casually, but deliberately.
Pieces that don’t take the same cue prevent the whole from looking over the top, and create a frame for the display.
5. Opt for a pair of table lamps
(Image credit: Sims Hilditch)
How to style a console table and give it classic credentials? Selecting a pair of table lamps is a traditional approach to creating symmetry in interior design that’s perfect for many rooms, and a classic amongst entryway lighting ideas.
‘When styling a console, I typically aim for symmetry, whether that's accomplished with lamps, vases, or decorative objects,’ says Ashley DeLapp, founder and principal designer of Ashley DeLapp Interior Design .
Follow this approach when decorating a console table and little else may be needed for a beautiful display. ‘I like to keep things streamlined and clean, using books to add height while showcasing special trinkets or collections of flowers,’ Ashley says.
6. Make it minimal
(Image credit: Future)
In a contemporary room scheme, paring back what’s on the console table can be the best tactic. What’s crucial if that’s the case is selecting decorative pieces of sufficient scale to appear considered. On this table a simple bowl of flowers draws the eye while the focus is on the artwork above, framed by the console below.
7. Match materials or echo shapes
(Image credit: Jon Day / Claudia Bryant)
One possible strategy when thinking about how to style a console table is to take a lead from the table itself. This design’s legs are echoed by the quirky lamp, vases and even the artwork. The picture frame above repeats the color of the table's material for a pulled-together result.
8. Display art on a console table
(Image credit: Adam Bray)
Decorating with art is important in mastering console table styling, and there is a choice of ways to show artworks on a console table – here, designer Adam Bray showcases sculptures and textiles in a simple but stunning arrangement.
Another route to foregrounding art is to place it on an easel.
‘I love to incorporate a piece of art on an easel when styling a console table,’ says Grace Brackman, associate designer, Maggie Griffin Design . ‘Whether an antique or abstract piece, art is a great way to integrate color and pattern to your tabletop.’
9. Keep it natural
(Image credit: The Cotswold Company )
Considering how to style a console table when the goal is a soothing scheme? Opting for a color palette in gentle natural tones is a great approach, especially in an entryway. In this space, organic color and texture are prominent on the plant pot and console table itself and complemented by the softest of hues on the lamp base.
Follow this example by hanging a mirror low enough to reflect the objects on display to boost their impact.
10. Adopt a contemporary approach
(Image credit: Polly Wreford / Claudia Bryant)
A symmetrical arrangement of well-proportioned lamps or urns on a console table is a sure-fire choice, but opting for asymmetry is an interesting and modern alternative.
‘Try grouping a piece of sculpture, a statement lamp and a vase of flowers for a look that is balanced but has a more contemporary feel,’ says designer Birdie Fortescue . ‘Use a generous rug in coordinating tones and a congruous painting or mirror to complete the scheme.’
11. Change the lines
(Image credit: Future)
Entryways tend to be thoroughfares we give little thought to – and often interesting architecture is lacking. To up the style quotient, choose a console table with curvaceous lines, and echo its shapes and materials in the vases and sculptural finds displayed on top.
12. Choose antiques
(Image credit: VSP Interiors)
Decorating with antiques makes a beautiful focal point, but how to style a console table like this?
‘An antique console does more than provide a place to set things down,’ says Henriette von Stockhausen, co-founder and creative director of VSP Interiors . ‘By adding a pair of lamps with antique silk shades for a welcoming glow, along with art, tapestries and decorative items, one can create a layered comfortable look.’
13. Play with pastels
(Image credit: Maureen Stevens)
Make a pleasing vignette on a larger console table with a pastel palette to draw a variety of pretty pieces and a floral arrangement together. The addition of white keeps the effect fresh and sophisticated. Smaller decorative pieces are best grouped, while taller designs will introduce the height that’s necessary on a larger piece of furniture.
If you’re including artwork, hang it close to the table so it reads as part of the whole, and link it with color, too.
14. Frame an entry table display with wallpaper
(Image credit: Gunter & Co)
Entryways can be tricky spaces to deal with as the proportions are often slim, and they suffer from little natural light and architectural interest. However, you can use some hallway wallpaper ideas to help create interest, as Irene Gunter, founder of interior design studio Gunter & Co explains:
‘I really wanted to introduce some wallpaper to inject color and texture but it wouldn't have worked in large amounts. This discreet frame detail that our joiner made from liquid metal panelling beads has created such a big impact, it provides a beautiful space for the wallpaper whilst framing the entry table perfectly.’
The position of the over-sized centrally-hung mirror is key, too – it is close enough to the console below to become part of the display of accessories, giving the entryway incredible impact and focus.
15. Display prized antiques in an entryway
(Image credit: Penny Morrison)
Beautifully crafted antique console tables can look fabulous and add instant character to entryways – and if you’re lucky enough to have the space then a narrow piece can fit perfectly, like in this hallway by interior designer Penny Morrison .
Add a pair of patterned table lamps to create balance at either end of the table, a gallery wall of smartly framed paintings and an impactful vase of blooms for a softening decorative touch. Antique fairs have a wealth of fabulous finds that you can display too – from small trinket boxes to stunning ceramics.
16. Decorate a console table to make a small entryway feel larger
(Image credit: Louise Bradley)
‘First impressions are essential when welcoming both you and your guests into your home. In order to achieve a statement hallway, I always incorporate a console or entry table into the space, which is both functional and elegant,’ says London based bespoke interior designer Louise Bradley .
‘When dressing the entry table, it is important to consider both purpose and scale, drawing the eye into and around the room. Avoid clutter by adding a small decorative box, where you can store your essentials upon arrival or alternatively choose a console with drawers.
'Adding greenery and a scent diffuser will also create an uplifting ambiance. Add further impact by dressing the walls with a large mirror, this will assist in reflecting natural light throughout and will open up the space.’
Note the slimline proportions of the table – including its legs – and the tall, narrow mirror – both cleverly work to exaggerate the entryway's height, making the narrow space feel more generous.
17. Pick a decorating theme for your entryway console
(Image credit: OKA)
If your entryway console table has a distinct decorative theme – whether California Casual or country – picking accessories to decorate it with that echo that theme makes perfect sense. Here, Oka 's Katsura console table has been accessorized with pieces that hint at the Oriental style of the table itself – to great success.
18. Decorate a console table with paint
(Image credit: Annie Sloan)
Looking for cottage hallway ideas? Here, an ordinary console table has been given an extraordinary makeover with paint by British artist and paint expert Annie Sloan . She has echoed the design in the wall panelling behind it and, of course, picked accessories with a hand-painted finish.
What looks good on a console table?
What looks good on a console table really does depend on where it sits. If you are asking what looks good in an entryway, then the console's surface will be a top consideration, and the answer will be a pair of lamps and a focal decorative piece, such as a beautiful, flower filled vase or piece of sculpture. In a living room, the answer may well differ, though at least one lamp always looks good on a console and creates an extra pool of diffused light that's very welcome. Other items you may want to include in a family space rather than an entryway include treasured photographs, a curated pile of favorite books you want to reach for regularly, and perhaps even a smart storage box in which clutter that might otherwise gather than can be neatly stashed.
How do you make a console table look expensive?
To make a console table look expensive, it's important to ensure the surface is kept clear of clutter and free of dust.
Then, it's all down to the styling. The most effective ways to approach this are to put lamps at either end of the console, and a piece of sculpture or vase of flowers centrally. Then, hanging a mirror or picture just three to four inches above the surface of the table will finish the look perfectly.
How do you decorate a console?
Table lamps, artwork and framed photographs, and decorative accessories like vases, sculptures, and ceramics can all be used to decorate a console.
‘When styling a console table, consider scale and proportion,’ says Louise Wicksteed, design director at Sims Hilditch interior designers. ‘For example, table lamps framing the console add height and symmetry. Potted plans in a round bowl lead the eye, while stacked books and decorative objects add a personal touch.’
What do you use a console table for?
Console tables provide a space for table lamps and displays of decorative pieces and artwork and, because they are slim, they can fit into narrow areas like halls and entryways as well as into dining rooms and living rooms.
As an alternative to positioning it against the wall, you might locate one at the back of a couch in the latter space.
They’re a versatile choice that could stand in for a desk in a compact space, or a bar when entertaining.

Decor and interior design > Sitemap > Hallways > Table in the hallway: TOP-100 photo ideas how to decorate in the interior
Contents of the article:
The wall is the most suitable place for arranging space. And the point is not only that various decorations can be placed here, such as mirrors and shelves, photo wallpapers, wall posters, etc., but also because furniture elements can be placed near it.
How to choose a table in the hallway, the functions of which will be not only in the completeness of the appearance of the room, but also in practicality? This is what will be discussed in this article.
Not every room has enough space to put a large table, and sometimes even a small table for magazines. In such a situation, a console table in the hallway is perfect.
It has more functions than a decorative one, as it can store small things like apartment keys, phone or charger.
Consoles have been an indispensable piece of furniture in homes since the Baroque period. This type of furniture became popular while Louis XV was on the throne, then he had an elegant rococo shape.
Initially, the console was an indispensable item in the homes of rich people, but over time it began to appear in the homes of ordinary residents.
The final peak of the popularity of the console was even before the onset of the Great Patriotic War. Then it was replaced by weighty tables with chairs. But today it is again becoming fashionable to put such tables in the hallway or small guest rooms, where style, appearance and practicality play a major role.
Semi-circle side tables
The semi-circular side table is a great choice, because in addition to being a phone table in the hallway, it also takes up little space and will not get in the way under your feet, making it difficult to pass.
It sits flush against the wall and doesn't have sharp edges to hit, which is especially good for families with kids.
- A table made of wood will be an excellent decor for a classic hallway.
- It is necessary to take into account some of the nuances inherent in different styles of interior decoration:
- For classics, an exquisite gilded console table with a rich pattern or carving is suitable.
- A white table with slightly curved legs fits perfectly into Provence, on which you can place lavender in a vase.
- Shabby chic will perfectly emphasize a light table with a mirror, a little aged look.
- Industrial style is well complemented by a console that looks like an industrial one - on metal legs with a glass top.
To recreate a rustic atmosphere, it is better to use pieces made of natural wood without any frills and bells and whistles.
Entrance Corner Console
Such consoles are convenient.
They make it possible to use the corners to good use, and get another piece of furniture in the room, filling the empty space with a useful thing. Such a console will fit perfectly then.
When there is very little free space in the interior and all of it must be used in such a way that it is as convenient as possible.
Moreover, such a piece of furniture can perfectly become a dressing table in the hallway, which is often very important for the fair sex, who will store their belongings here.
Below you can see a photo of the table in the hallway and decide what you personally would like. The choice is very large, therefore, it is not surprising to get lost when choosing a suitable console. The main thing is to take into account all the functions that you assign to this piece of furniture, then it will be easier to make the final decision, which will be the only right one, and there are, in fact, a great many options.
The choice is yours and may it be successful!
