Decorating the Perfect Entry Table

When you come in your front door what is the first thing you do? Drop your keys, a stack of mail, your purse? Make coming home and leaving your house a fast, easy, and most importantly, organized process by decorating the perfect entry table.

Make Sure it Fits

Start by choosing the table itself. It should be narrow so you can easily walk past it. Length of the table should be determined based on how long your foyer is and how wide your door swings open. Choose a table that is the right size for your space. It is an added benefit if it has a shelf or drawers for additional storage.

Add a Tray

A tray placed on the top of your entry table gives you a designated place to drop your keys, phone, wallet, or anything else that you want to store. A tray keeps the surface of your table from looking cluttered because it is neatly contained on a designated tray.

Bring the Eye Up

Add some height to your table with a vase filled with artificial flowers, a tall table plant, or a lamp. This is an important designer touch that will add interest to your space. Make sure that this item fits in with both the theme and color scheme of the rest of your decor.

Hang a Mirror

Nearly every interior designer hangs a mirror above an entry table and for good reason. This conveniently placed mirror gives you one last opportunity to get a look at yourself and make sure that you aren’t forgetting anything.

Baskets, Baskets, Baskets

Place big baskets under your entry table. This is a great way to contain shoes, umbrellas, blankets, sweaters, and anything else that you like to keep right by the front door. Be sure to send us your finished design. We would love to see your personal style infused into these elements.
