An entry table is generally a decorative piece of furniture that can make a great first impression at the entrance of your home. Also known as an entrance, console or foyer table, these versatile pieces can also be a practical way to organize, declutter and decorate your entryway.
If you want to spruce up your home, these entry table decor ideas are stylish choices that will elevate this small space and make your guests feel welcome. The most popular decorations for an entryway table are often cute artwork, elegant accessories, a charming mirror, low-maintenance plants and other finishing touches like books, candles, lamps and trays.
You can take the minimalist route with a basic table that fits your aesthetic goals or invest in a sturdy foyer table with drawers for storage. While this small area is often meant to be somewhat functional rather than glam, making an effort to dress it up can pay off.
Whether you prefer a simple and chic look or a luxurious modern approach, decorating an entrance table will always be appreciated by family and guests.
For inspiration, here are the best entry table decor ideas that will suit your home and transform this space for an inviting vibe.
Entryway Table Decor Ideas
Cute Cottage Console
This entry table makes a vibrant design statement with visually-appealing decor. Bright patterned wallpapers are very trendy right now, but they run the risk of feeling dated. Limiting a bold, graphic wallpaper to a small space like an entryway lets you try out this trend without making a massive commitment. This floral wallpaper is bright and vibrant, so the homeowners went simpler with furnishings like a rustic wood entry table.
Dark and Edgy Vibe
This entryway table decor is a modern and stylish choice that features a unique wall mirror and elegant accessories for an elevated look. The geometric pattern of this textured black and white wallpaper has a major art deco vibe that sets the tone for the rest of the space. The sleek black table has gold accents that also feel very art-deco in nature. Gold wall sconces and tabletop decor give this moody space just the right glam.
Elegant Round Glass Table with Metal Legs
The layout of the staircase in this home leaves a block of space that seems unusable. Places like this are great for staging unconventional entry tables. Here, a round table fits neatly into a space that would otherwise be wasted. Because the table has shiny chrome legs and a glass tabletop, it doesn’t distract attention away from the traditional wainscoting on the walls.
Embrace Natural Elements
While filled with decor in neutral colors, this entryway is still surprisingly rich and appealing to look at. Natural materials like a rough-hewn wood table, stoneware vase, and vintage woven basket fill this space with inviting textures. A large abstract art piece makes the humble materials feel a little more elevated and sophisticated.
Fall Entryway Table Decorations
For many people, entry tables are nothing more than a practical place to keep your wallet and your keys. For others, they provide an auxiliary space for expressing creativity. If you’re the kind of person who likes to decorate your home for different seasons or holidays, an entry table is a perfect place for showcasing seasonal decor.
Luxury Wooden Table with Stylish Pieces
A unique wood entrance table can be a gorgeous choice that elevates your space and welcomes your guests with a statement piece. Because tables can be such practical furniture, we often forget that they can also be pieces of art. This sculptural entry table makes a huge stylistic statement on its own, and eclectic decor like a colorful graphic art print gives it even more of an impact.
Metal Entrance Table with Chic Items
A small and simple table is suitable for narrow entryways in homes and can add a personal touch. Some people shy away from modern interior design because it feels cold and sterile. The increasing popularity of the organic modern style of design blends modern minimalism with the beauty of nature, creating a much warmer environment. This entry table has a modern metal entry table, but organic touches like a botanical print and a vase of cherry blossoms make the space feel instantly inviting.
Old School Console Table
If your aesthetic tends to be vintage or retro, a modern entry table will feel out of place with the rest of your decor. Skip the furniture stores and go vintage shopping to find a piece that is right for your home and style. With its angled, tapered legs, the console table has a major midcentury modern appeal.
Reclaimed Wooden Entry Table with Mirror
This reclaimed wood table has a rustic elegance, but it borders on feeling too bulky for the entryway. If you’re concerned that your foyer is too crowded, consider hanging up an oversized mirror above it. Mirrors can make a space feel double the size thanks to their reflective qualities.
Simple Boho Table
This versatile entry table would be right at home in multiple design styles. Choosing the right decor for the table will ensure that it truly fits in with your style. Intricately woven baskets, a vase of pampas grass, and a large monstera leaf infuse this entryway with boho charm.
Simple Entrance Table with Plants and Gold Trim Mirror
This entrance is filled with simple yet elegant pieces, from the streamlined black console table to the gold-rimmed mirror. On their own, these two pieces might feel a little stark, but they are softened up by decor choices like stoneware vases and a sheepskin stool with gold legs.
Sleek and Chic Entry Table
This entryway is anchored by the simple geometric shapes of the rectangular entry table and round wall mirror. Because the silhouettes are so plain and architectural, you can go a little over-the-top with tabletop decor. A riotous and colorful array of dried flowers give this understated entry some pizzazz.
Add Interest To Your Entry with Colorful Decor
Bright white paint and sand-hued wood floors give this coastal energy a bright and airy feel. While the whitewashed entry table blends in well with the surroundings, it also doesn’t give the eye a place to land. Adding darker decor like a navy blue bowl and stoneware vase overflowing with greenery creates a much-needed focal point.
Use Smaller-Scale Furniture To Mimic A Foyer
If you live in an apartment or small home, you likely don’t have a true entryway. That doesn’t mean you can’t create the illusion of a formal entrance. Look for a narrow and shallow table like this one that will still allow plenty of room for visitors to come in, then decorate it with some simple artwork and plants. Hanging a mirror above the table can also trick the eye into thinking the space is bigger.
Utilize Contrasting Colors
If you’re going to the trouble of setting up an entry table, chances are you want people to see and appreciate the vignette you’ve created. Choosing a table that contrasts with your decor will give it some punch. This matte black entry table jumps out against the crisp white walls and raw wood floors. Adding touches of white and neutral tones to the tabletop decor ensures that the entry feels cohesive with the rest of the space.
Create A New Entryway By Building A Wall
Open floorplans have been in vogue for decades because they make a home feel airy, but they often lack a dedicated entryway. If you need a place by your front door to store coats and shoes, consider constructing a partial wall. This wall panel only goes up about ¾ of the way to the ceiling, allowing the natural light to filter through the space interrupted. Wall pegs and a bench with baskets tucked underneath provide storage options and hide any unsightly clutter you might otherwise see from the living room.
Make A Statement with Bold Artwork
If you own a large and dramatic piece of artwork, an entryway is a great place to keep it. Not only will it make a big impression on guests, but you’ll also be able to enjoy it every time you come home. This black and white painting has a lot of texture and details, so the decor on the entry table below it is more minimalist. This way it won’t detract attention from the real star of the show.
Turn Your Entry Console Into A Gallery Table
Entry tables can showcase a variety of decor, including books, floral arrangements, and figurines. Your console can also be a great place to keep artwork. Instead of hanging art above an entry table, place a few pieces on top of the table and lean them against the wall. You can even overlap them, placing smaller pieces in front of bigger ones. This technique for displaying artwork can make a table feel more casual and less fussy.
Table Decor That Fits Your Space
This entryway has an unusual shape that could feel awkward if not decorated with care. While one wall is truncated, the other extends into the rest of the house. Placing a long console table on the lengthier wall helps create a visual transition from the entryway into the living space, an effect that is amplified by the long jute runner rug on the floor. Placing a bench and mirror on the shorter wall helps the space feel more finished and intentional.
Think Vertically
This entry is on the smaller side, but it feels much bigger thanks to the use of vertical space. The narrow entry table has shelving underneath, so you can add more decor without making the tabletop feel cluttered. Potted floor plants bring additional decor to the space without taking up any unnecessary table space.
Shabby Chic Entry Table with Rustic Touch
A rough-looking blue entryway table adds a healthy dose of personality to an otherwise basic space. The drawers provide plenty of storage – but if you need something extra, a wooden crate will do the trick. A version of shabby chic, this adorable piece will do wonders for your front door and hallway.
