|| The Classic Entryway ||
Start with a console table with functional storage, a bold color, or unique hardware. This is your foundation and you want to be sure you have something great to build your look.
Choose a mirror in a bold color or pattern as your focal point and center it 4-6 inches above your console top.
Flank the sides of your mirror with tall buffet lamps in a fun texture or a finish that is different from your mirror to add interest.
Mix in faux florals or a plant and other tabletop decorative objects to give a variation in height and keep the eye moving. This also helps the look to feel complete and avoid having it look flat.
Add large storage baskets for cozy blankets, etc. to add style, warmth, and texture.

|| The Large Entryway ||
Start with a long console table or tall bench that appropriately fills the space in a neutral/minimalist look.
Use a set of prints, custom wall art, or photography to use as your focal point and hang them 4-8 inches above the table.
Mix in faux florals, unique pottery, and a mid-sized table lamp to flank the sides of your wall decor and give balance to the look.
Add a set of unique or bold patterned ottomans beneath your console for additional seating and a pop of color.

|| The Small Entryway ||
Start with a bold statement piece like a cabinet or chest as your base to immediately elevate the space. Small on space doesn't mean you have to be small on style!
Add a simple vertical mirror to reflect light and make the space appear larger.
Layer in tabletop decor of varying heights to finish the look. Keep these pieces understated and neutral to create a clean look that doesn't feel overwhelming for the small space.

Bonus Tip: Remember to choose console tables, benches, or cabinets that appropriately fit your space. A good "rule of thumb" is to make sure your furniture piece fills 2/3 of the wall space you have to work with and you'll always have the right size!
|| The Takeaway ||
* Choose a console table that fits the space, makes a great foundation, and adds versatility and functionality to your home.
* Use a focal point that showcases your style like a fun mirror or piece of art.
* Create a cohesive look by adding tabletop decor in varying heights that completes the look and keeps the eye moving.
