Your entryway is the introduction to both your home and your personality, so it should reflect both. Choose playful pieces, like this swan table, if traditional is not your style.
This pair of marble columns allows for one to be a drop zone for keys, while the other can hold florals or other decorative objects.
Rather than an oversized console, opt for a smaller cocktail table to place keys and your phone. The bench in this home's entryway serves as a comfortable place to put on shoes and get situated before heading out the door.
Console tables, while very pretty, don't offer much storage. If you lack closet space, opt for a storage trunk in your entryway to house shoes and seasonal accessories.
This Spanish-style entryway features a woven bamboo console table instead of traditional wood or metal. The dark hue also helps to marry the contrasting tiles.
Your entryway table should work for your needs—and sometimes that means ditching the table entirely in favor of a comfortable shoe bench and hanging hooks instead.
For narrow entryways, larger consoles may crowd the space too much. Streamline your entry by choosing a table you can mount to limit its width.
