How to Style an Entryway Table

Hi Everyone!

I am back with some more home decor tips and tricks! Last year, I dedicated an entire post on styling a console table – Today, it’s all about styling an entryway table.

You see, an entryway table is the first home impression anyone will take away just as they walk into your lovely home or as they leave. Well in some cases, this also depends on layout.

The tricky thing is, styling an entryway table is similar to styling a console table if you really think about it. It’s all about the placement in your home. Now, there are still some changes that would define your entryway table besides your console table. With that being said:

The #1 would be seating – I am one of those who will ask you to please leave your shoes by the door. My husband is OCD on top of that so this is a must. Therefore, a bench, small or on the larger side, depending on space should be part of your entryway as your guest will take off or put on their shoes.

The #2 would be style/theme – This is completely up to your liking. As you all know, I LOVE cohesiveness. Therefore, my entryway table will be a mini invite to my living room decor. Yet, this doesn’t have to match. You can make it fun with color and/or decorations that you love. Especially if it’s in a completely different room. As I said, this is your homes first impression. Make it FUN. If you do need help with how to style the decor check out my post on (Styling a Console Table)

The #3 would be functional – Decorations are beautiful and will always make any space feel complete but in particular to this space, you need to make it functional. Trays, bowls or even decor plates is a must. This will serve as a landing space for your car keys, headphones, or even mail as soon as you arrive home. No more asking “where did I leave my key”!

Now, as you can see, my entryway table is on the smaller side yet, I love how minimal it feels. I don’t really have a so called “coffee table” and I wanted to do something a bit differed than a table lamp. I instead added two “coffee table” books. I kept in mind that black and white theme as my entire apartment. I added a bowl to throw sunglasses, mail etc. AND additionally, I also added a smaller tray for just keys. I finished with not one but two types of greenery. A beautiful flower bouquet my husband got me during Christmas and some fun dried Eucalyptus.

I hope this post will inspire you to think outside the box and style an entryway table to your liking!

As always
