Step 1: Foyer Table or Console Table?
The first decision you have to make is whether you want a table in the center of your entryway or a console table against the wall. This decision will likely be decided for you based on the amount of space you have. A wide open foyer is the perfect place for a square or round foyer table while a more narrow entryway is the perfect spot for a console table.
Once you have your table, it’s time to style! This table will set the tone for the rest of your home so be mindful of the look you are going for. Whether it’s coastal, modern French country, or mid-century modern, we are here to help you step up your styling game!

Step 2: Start in the Middle of Your Entryway Table
Figure out what you want the centerpiece to be. Entryway table centerpieces can include vases, large art, plants, or more. If you are using an entryway console table, try large artwork. Large-scale artwork will draw the eye instantly. Pair it with a lamp and vase that nearly matches the artwork in height so that the art doesn’t dwarf everything else on the table.
If you are working with a table in the center of the foyer, keep in mind that it will be viewed from all angels, not just the front. Styling in 360 degrees can be a challenge but with the right tools, like coffee table books, beads, and bowls, it’ll be a breeze!

Step 3: Play with Height on Your Entryway Table
Height is the most important thing to keep in mind when styling your entryway table so be sure to layer your table with short, tall, and in-between pieces to create a curated look. A vase of fresh flowers will always look good next to a coffee table book full of bright images that you can change daily. Need some coffee table book inspiration? Here you go!
Don’t forget to play with textures too. If your entryway console table is a rustic style, pair it with a simple glass vase and greenery to balance the rough texture of the table with soft, clean edges. Alternatively, if you have a marble foyer table, try one of our vintage pottery jars. They are full of textural goodness and will look amazing with freshly cut branches from your favorite tree.

Step 4: Make the Most of Every Angle of your Foyer Table
Don’t limit your entryway table decor to the tabletop! Play with the space underneath by adding a bench, a pair of poufs, or baskets. If it takes you half an hour just to say goodbye (is it just us Midwesterners?), include some poufs or stools so you can sit while you chat away.
Do you always just toss your things on your entryway table? Stash it away with some cleverly placed baskets. Better yet, go for an entryway table with storage. That way, your foyer will always look good, and you won’t have to spend another moment thinking about where you left your keys.

4. Keep Your Entryway Table Decor Simple
For those of us who love a minimalist moment, keep your entryway table decor simple with a single vase of fresh blooms or branches. You should never be afraid blank space. This less-is-more approach can seriously elevate your entryway and you will hardly have to lift a finger.
