27 Stunning Entrance Table Decor Ideas To Elevate Your Entryway

A well-styled entrance table can be a game changer for your entryway.

It can create a sense of arrival, offer a warm welcome to guests, and provide a place to stash items you need as you walk out the door.

Plus, your entry table is a great spot to show off your personal style.

Whether you love modern minimalism, boho chic, or something in between, there’s an entry table decor idea out there for you.

Not sure where to start? Here are 27 of our favorite entrance table decor ideas to help you elevate your space.

1. Create a Welcoming Vignette

If you’re not sure where to begin with your entrance table decor, start with a vignette.

This is a small grouping of items that are visually appealing and tell a story.

In this case, the story is “welcome to our home!” with a gorgeous bouquet of flowers, a stack of books, and a vintage candlestick.

Pro Tip: When creating a vignette, think about items that vary in height and texture. This will help to draw the eye in and create visual interest.

2. Add a Pop of Color

If you’re looking to add a little color to your space, a small table in your entryway is the perfect place to start.

This table is the perfect spot to add a pop of color with some flowers, a vase, or a small piece of art.

I love how they kept the color scheme simple and cohesive with the blue and white color palette.

3. Mix and Match Your Styles

If you love the look of a chic, minimalist entrance table but have a lot of decor you want to display, try mixing in a few different styles.

This will allow you to add more decor without your table looking cluttered.

Here, a modern table is adorned with a bouquet of fresh flowers, a minimalist table lamp, and a few white decorative objects.

The look is then grounded with a bohemian-style rug, and a few other boho elements are mixed in throughout the entryway.

4. Play With Symmetry

Symmetry is a tried-and-true design principle for a reason.

The concept of mirroring the decor on one side of the table with the other creates a cohesive and polished look.

This entryway table decor by @theposhhome_ is a gorgeous example of symmetry.

A pair of tall vases with floral arrangements on the top of the table is perfectly balanced with a pair of wall sconces on either side.

The pair of matching lamps on the table also adds to the symmetry.

5. Go for the Unexpected

A small console table is perfect for a narrow entryway, but it can also be a great place to display some unexpected decor.

This table is styled with an elegant vase and a stack of books, but the real showstopper is the abstract art above.

The bold colors and patterns in the art are a great way to introduce your style to guests as soon as they enter your home.

6. Use a Console Table in Place of a Bench

A bench is a great option for an entryway, but if you’re looking for something with a little more style, consider using a console table in place of a bench.

You can still add baskets underneath for storage, and you can even use a pair of stools or ottomans instead of chairs.

This is a great option for small entryways.

You can also use a console table in a large entryway if you want to create a more formal look.

I love the way this table is styled with a pair of lamps, a large mirror, and a few accessories. It looks so inviting!

7. Make It a Functional Space

If you have a smaller entryway, you can still make the most of the space by styling your entrance table to be functional.

Add a tray to corral your keys, wallet, and other small items you might need to grab on the way out the door.

A small dish or bowl filled with candy is also a nice touch and makes your home feel extra inviting.

8. Add a Mirror

A mirror is a classic and beautiful way to add height and light to your entryway.

The framed mirror above this entryway table is an elegant and timeless piece that creates a focal point in the space.

Pro tip: When using a mirror in your decor, be sure to hang it at eye level.

This is especially important in an entryway where guests may want to check their hair and makeup before coming in.

9. Create a Gallery Wall

You can never go wrong with a gallery wall, and that’s especially true in an entryway.

A gallery wall is a great way to display your favorite photos and artwork and give your guests a glimpse of your personality and style as soon as they walk in the door.

You can hang your gallery wall above your entrance table, or if you have a larger entryway, you can spread it out and include your table in the display.

10. Go for Glam

A chic, black and white color scheme is super sophisticated.

The black and white photography, black and white books, and black and white vase all look so modern and sleek.

I also love how the mirror is the same width as the table.

It creates a really nice, symmetrical look.

11. Make a Statement With Your Lighting

The lighting in your entryway can really set the tone for your home.

A statement chandelier can make a grand entrance, while a simple sconce can make your home feel cozy and inviting.

If you have the space, consider adding a pair of sconces to your entryway.

Flanking your entrance table with a pair of sconces can create a balanced and elegant look.

12. Add a Pop of Greenery

If you really want to make a statement, add a tall vase with some fresh greenery or flowers.

This is a great way to bring some life and color to your entryway and it’s a simple idea that can be changed out with the seasons.

I love the look of a tall floral arrangement with a mirror above the table, but you can also use a tall vase with a few branches or a potted plant if you don’t want to have to change out the flowers all the time.

13. Create a Seasonal Display

A few seasonal touches can make your entryway feel warm and inviting.

This autumnal display features a garland of eucalyjson, pampas grass, and dried flowers, as well as a few pumpkins.

If you’re not into the traditional fall color scheme, you can always switch out the orange pumpkins for a different color, like white or blue, to better match your decor.

14. Use a Tray to Corral Items

If you have a small entrance table, a tray can help you corral your items into one neat space.

This also helps if you have a lot of items you’d like to display.

You can use a tray to hold your favorite candles, a vase of flowers, and some coffee table books.

Then, you can use the rest of the table to hold your other decor.

15. Add a Personal Touch

Personalize your entrance table with a few of your favorite things.

If you have a family, consider adding a family photo, initials, or a monogram to the mix.

If you’re single, you could add a photo of yourself or a few of your favorite things, like a candle, a vase of flowers, or a stack of books.

For the tablescape pictured above, I added a few of my favorite things, like a stack of books, a candle, and a vase of flowers.

I also created a custom monogram for the space, which adds a personal touch to the design.

16. Make It a Catch-All

If your entryway is lacking a closet or coat rack, you can turn your table into a catch-all for all your outdoor gear.

Just add a couple of baskets or bins underneath the table for storage and a few hooks on the wall for hanging coats and bags.

This way, you can keep your table surface free for decorative items like a lamp, a vase of flowers, or a small sculpture.

17. Create a Cohesive Look

To create a cohesive look in your entryway, use a similar style and color of furniture throughout the space.

This will help tie everything together and create a sense of unity.

In this entryway, the round table and mirror above it are both gold and feature a similar design style, creating a cohesive look in the space.

The large plant adds a pop of color and texture, while the small gold decorations on the table add a touch of elegance.

The white walls and neutral rug help keep the space feeling light and airy.

18. Go for a Vintage Vibe

There’s something so romantic and inviting about a vintage-inspired entryway.

This look is all about layering and mixing textures, colors, and patterns.

In this space, the entryway table is layered with a vintage runner, a basket, a stack of books, and a stunning floral arrangement.

The vintage oil painting and the gold-framed mirror add a touch of old-world style to the space, while the modern lamp and the boho-style stool keep things feeling fresh and current.

19. Add Some Storage

If you have a small entryway, you may not have room for a coat closet. A small console table is a great way to add a little storage to your space.

You can use baskets or bins to store hats, gloves, and other cold weather gear, or use drawers to store other small items.

This table from us has three drawers to store mail, keys, and other items that you don’t want to leave out in the open.

20. Use Baskets to Add Texture

If you want to add a little texture to your entryway, try using baskets.

You can use them to add some dimension to your table or even hang them on the wall for a fun, unexpected twist.

I love how this table uses a large basket to add some height and then uses a smaller one to add some dimension.

And of course, you can’t forget to add some fresh greenery to your baskets for a pretty, natural touch!

21. Create a Nautical Vibe

If you live near the ocean, bring some of that carefree, coastal energy into your home with a nautical-themed entryway table.

This simple setup features a rustic wood table, a few ocean-inspired accessories, and a pair of modern table lamps.

A large piece of nautical wall art ties the look together and adds a pop of color to the space.

22. Make It Masculine

Masculine pieces like a dark wood table, black and white photography, and a leather catchall can make your entrance table feel tailored and sophisticated.

The addition of a few plants and a round mirror softens the look and keeps it from feeling too serious.

23. Add a Pop of Pink

If you want to add a little color to your entrance table, consider adding a pop of pink.

This color pairs well with the gold and white colors and adds a feminine touch to the space.

You can add pink flowers, a pink vase, or even a pink candle to your table for a touch of color.

Then, you can add more pink accents throughout the rest of your decor to tie the look together.

24. Add a Focal Point

If you have a large entrance table, adding a focal point in the center of the table can help to make the space feel balanced.

You can use a large vase of flowers, a basket of greenery, or a large piece of art as your focal point.

Then, you can style the rest of the table around your focal point. I love how this table is styled with a large piece of art and two small lamps.

The lamps help to add some symmetry to the space, but the pieces of art are different to add some interest.

25. Add Some Drama

If you have the space, consider adding a dramatic accent table to your entryway.

We love how this table is the perfect spot to display a large vase of flowers and a statement piece of art.

The black table and chair legs add a strong contrast to the white walls, and the gold accents throughout the room tie everything together beautifully.
