How to Style a Console Table in Your Entryway
Your entryway sets the tone for your entire home it’s the first impression guests receive and the welcome you give yourself each day. A beautifully styled console table can turn even the simplest hallway into a sophisticated, functional space. At Exohom, we believe in blending form and function to elevate everyday living. Here’s how you can style your console table like a designer.
1. Start with a Focal Point
Choose a piece that will anchor your console setup typically, a large mirror or artwork above the table does the trick. Mirrors are especially helpful in entryways as they reflect light and create a sense of space. A striking painting or framed photography can also set the mood for your home's aesthetic.
2. Layer Heights and Textures
Balance is key to a well-styled console. Use objects of varying heights to create visual interest: tall vases, sculptural lamps, stacked books, or decorative bowls all add character. Incorporate different textures like wood, metal, ceramic, or glass to keep the arrangement from feeling flat.
3. Include a Touch of Nature
Bring life into your entryway with fresh greenery or floral arrangements. A single tall branch in a vase or a small potted plant adds organic contrast to structured decor. For a luxury feel, opt for dried arrangements or carefully curated faux botanicals in neutral tones.
4. Use Decorative Trays for Organization
A tray is both practical and stylish. Use it to group smaller items like keys, candles, or a catch-all bowl. This keeps things tidy and creates a composed look even when items are varied.
5. Personal Touches Make It Yours
Add personality with curated accessories: a framed photo, a scent diffuser, or an object that reflects your travels or heritage. These subtle additions bring warmth and uniqueness to the space.
6. Consider Lighting
If your entryway allows, include a table lamp or wall sconces. Soft, ambient lighting instantly makes the area feel more inviting. Lamps with sculptural bases or luxe finishes can act as both light source and statement piece.
7. Ground It with Style
Finish the look by anchoring your console with a rug or an ottoman underneath. A patterned runner can add color and texture, while stools or storage ottomans below the console bring utility without cluttering the space.
