Entryway & Foyer Tables

Why We Love Entryway & Foyer Tables

Foyer tables are the first thing guests see when they enter a host's house. Whether you have a grand entryway, a small mud room, or a simple hallway, it's important to carefully plan storage and seating options to optimize space and keep clutter to a minimum. For larger entrances, entryway tables commonly hold keys, mail and other items and look great when paired with ottoman benches for seating. Modern accent tables come with two to four legs to fit any size foyer, and they can be swapped out for use in other rooms when it's time for a change.

Why Choose An Entryway Table

For a large entryway leading into the rest of the home, a statement piece sets the tone for interior decor. Mid-century modern foyer tables with slanted legs and clean lines complement your furniture in the same style and typically provide room to display photos or a floral arrangement. Modern accent tables in primary colors with chrome legs and hardware lend a cheery ambiance, which is especially welcoming when arriving home on a cold, rainy day. Tall entryway tables look great behind the living room sofa and petite foyer tables double as functional pieces or accents in the living or dining area.

Entryway & Foyer Table Designers We Love

A number of designers produce entryway furniture to suit the simplest or most decadent of tastes. BDI Furniture's media cabinets fit snugly in wide entryways to give the space a sophisticated vibe, while a Copeland Furniture occasional table with geometric legs and simple glass top showcases knick-knacks. Flashy tables with gold-plated legs make foyer tables by Tom Dixon elegant options for small entryways, while Menu's drift display shelving provides storage and display space without the need for entryway tables.

How to Choose the Best Foyer Tables

When designing a look for any entryway, it's important not to go too eclectic. In a small space, it's best to match the foyer tables with complementary benches and doormats for a cohesive design. The ideal size of entryway tables depends not only on the dimensions of the room but also on other furniture incorporated in the decor. Modern accent tables and console tables come in stunning styles from modern to traditional to specialty pieces. However, the entryway and foyer design should be as well thought out as the rest of the interior decor. For example, entryway lighting can be bright or muted to provide the ideal illumination required to showcase entryway furniture in the best light.

Other Considerations

When shopping for foyer tables, take a picture of the room the foyer connects to. Whether it's the dining or living area or a stairwell, make sure that the entryway tables you consider won't clash with the furniture or decor in the adjacent space. Modern occasional tables in fancy shapes blend in well with simple lines, whereas more solid construction lends gravity that complements western or traditional sofas and chairs.
