A well-organised and beautiful entryway or foyer is the best first impression that anyone can get of your home, here are entryway ideas with design and functionality for your inspiration
Having the right hallway unit is integral to making the feeling of comfort and welcome immediately apparent in your home. What is more, an entrance table is not merely decorative, this piece of furniture is conveniently placed next to the front door – ideal for grab-and-go items like handbags or keys and to serve as a landing space for mail or packages. In an open plan house an entry console table can help define and demarcate a foyer space giving flow and functionality to your room. But how to choose a table that fits your needs? Whether you want a sleek and narrow hallway console table or a unique circular foyer table, we discuss a few factors that might help you decide.
First let’s roughly define the different kinds of hallway furniture that you might encounter. Broadly speaking, hallway table design falls into the basic categories of side tables, console tables, and accent tables. Side tables are usually smaller and serve to provide a surface within easy reach of seating like chairs or couches. A small side table is ideal in an entryway where space is limited or one with a chair and shoe rack. A console table typically stands against a wall or sometimes a corner, they are often taller and might provide hallway storage options. Console tables are sometimes accessorised with a hallway mirror for a convenient way to check your outfit before leaving home.
Accent tables are frequently freestanding and might provide a focal point in a hallway that has a lot of space or one that has a stairway. This style of entry table is often circular and used for flower vases or to display family portraits and knick-knacks. The placement of your table will depend on the style you prefer and space that you are working with.
You will need to pay close attention to your overall space and your pattern of usage to ensure that your entry table is practical as well as attractive.
Whether space demands mean that you need a narrow hallway table or a taller entrance console table with a mirror above it, here are a few ways you can make the style work for you.
One way to make narrow console tables for narrow hall spaces take up less visual weight and space is to choose glass topped or metallic options. The effect of glass or mirrored hallway table design is both elegant and stunning as they add reflected light and create an ultramodern aura of airiness and space.
Another way to add brightness and airiness into an entrance area is to place a large, perhaps decorative mirror above your entry console table. Coordinate the styling and materials of your mirror frame to that of your entrance table to create visual balance and the impression of a matched unit.
If you prefer to have seating in your entry hall, why not explore the option of an entryway storage bench to increase the multifunctionality of your space. Or as another way to make the most of limited space, why not go for a pull-out bench that can be nestled under narrow console tables for narrow hall areas.
While a rectangular glass hallway table is a great way to modernise your entrance area, small moulded acrylic tables in organic shapes and fresh styles can completely update the look of your space. If you are looking for a hallway side table in a contemporary style with clever design innovations, you might want to explore modern moulded options.
If your entrance console table needs to fit in the corner you might want to explore half hexagon or triangle shaped tables that have an in-built drawer or shelving. These nestle into the corner of your room, giving you all the benefits of a small hallway table, while doubling practical use as a clever storage solution.
Another smart design for hallway furniture is a bench with shelving under it as it provides both a seating space and can serve as hallway shoe storage. This style can come as open shelves,be a combination of drawers and shelves or be concealed behind sliding doors. Some bench styles even have a raised side section that becomes a hall table with drawers stacked beneath.
