How To Style Your Entryway Table And Set The Stage For The Rest of Your Home
The entryway is like the red carpet of your home. It’s the first thing people see when they walk in, and it sets the stage for the rest of the house.
You know what they say about first impressions, right? Well, they’re kind of a big deal.
So, here’s the scoop on how to make your entryway table a functional yet fabulous masterpiece that screams “you.”
The Bare Necessities
Look, everyone tosses their keys, mail, and a handful of loose change on the entryway table. It’s practically a universal truth.
But who says you can’t make it look good while you’re at it?
Use small, chic bowls or trays to corral the essentials. Maybe a sleek wooden bowl for the keys and a cute ceramic dish for that change you’re saving for the ice cream truck.
Keeping it organized doesn’t mean it has to be boring.

You cannot go wrong by adding a bit of “you” to the table. How about framed photos or souvenirs from your travels?
Imagine walking in the door, glancing at a photo from that time you and your buddies road-tripped across the country or when you went on a romantic anniversary trip with your spouse. Instant smile, guaranteed (even after a hard day at work).
Green It Up
Greenery adds life—literally—to any space. A small potted plant or a vase with fresh flowers can be a mood-lifter like no other.
You can choose something low-maintenance, like a succulent or air plant, if you’re not exactly born with a green thumb. On the other hand, you could go big and bold if you’re down for a plant care challenge.
Fake foliage is totally fair game, too. Just visit your local craft store, whip out an old, new, or thrifted vase, and have fun putting together a nice arrangement.
Keep It Lit
A small lamp or a string of fairy lights can also add warmth and depth to your entryway, making it look like something straight out of a home decor magazine.
Pick something that complements the room’s existing lighting so it all flows. A nice, soft glow says, “Welcome home, kick off your shoes and stay awhile.”
Let’s Talk Texture
When it comes to texture, keep in mind that a blend of materials can bring a dynamic feel to your entryway table. Think marble meets wood meets metal.
This mix of textures can make even the most mundane objects look more sophisticated. So, don’t be afraid to put wicker next to ceramic and so on.
Final Touches: The Little Things
Lastly, don’t underestimate the power of small decorative items. A stylish clock, a vintage vase, or even a quirky knick-knack from a flea market can round out the look of your entryway.
These final touches are like the icing on the cake—they just pull everything together and make it feel like home. Your home.
