According to Michele Vig, founder and chief organizer of Neat Little Nest, “An entry table gives individuals and families a place to drop critical items right when they come into the house, which makes them easy to find when you need them.”
We couldn’t agree more, Michele. Entryway tables can be a great household problem solver. Whether you need a convenient drop zone for mail, the dog’s leash, or your purse, an entryway table is ready to tackle the job. And we can’t neglect to mention these furniture pieces’ storage (and aesthetic) potential.
Match your current home décor with a rustic-style table you’ll have for years, or spice things up with a show-stopping statement piece that doubles as shoe storage.
Regardless of what appeals to you, our 12 ideas for entryway tables will blow you (and guests) away.
Family-Friendly Entryway Table
The Hashtag Home Accent Cabinet looks like your children’s well-loved school lockers (but with an upgraded twist). Made of powder-coated steel, this durable cabinet comes in various modern colors, like terracotta and pale green. We also love that this entryway table stores everything from household cleaning supplies to extra blankets and board games–clutter be gone!
Rustic-Style Entryway Table
The Sophie Rustic Farmhouse Table has bracket detailing and metal side accents for a homey feeling that greets you each time you walk through the door. Decorate this entryway table with vases, house plants or an accent mirror, and fill its lower shelf with shoe bins and pet supplies.
Retro Entryway Table
The appeal of mid-century furniture continues. Add the Soho Console Table to your foyer or front entrance to keep in step with this timeless style. The base of this table features the era’s characteristic flared legs and an open lower shelf, all in a warm pecan finish that contrasts perfectly with the glossy white top.
Transparent Entryway Table
Blending seamlessly into the background, this see-through console table won’t add visual clutter to your entryway. We love the molded acrylic material combined with the sophisticated U-shape. Plus, this table comes in one complete piece–no assembly required.
Entryway Table With Closed Storage
Sideboards are stylish and versatile additions to your home, including in your entryway. The Aminatou Sideboard features two cabinets and plenty of room to store items you need away and out of sight. Use this mid-century inspired piece to display books and plants or make it a place for hidden shoe storage.
Entryway Table With Shoe Storage
This rattan shoe cabinet has a small footprint, which is ideal for tight spaces and cramped apartments. Hold the shoes you wear most in the two flap drawers, and use the top part of the cabinet as an entryway table. Stylish and functional–what more could you want?
Decorative Entryway Table
The Lalita Inlay table is handcrafted using a centuries-old technique that creates an intricately-patterned resin and bone inlay atop a brass-finished base. It’s an elegant effect, and each table is one of a kind. Plus, at just 68 pounds, this stunning table is light enough to move around whenever the mood strikes you.
Entryway Table for Small Spaces
Built to fit in the tiniest entryways, the Skinny Wall Table by DougAndChristyDesigns measures an astoundingly-narrow eight inches deep. Even with such small dimensions, this table has room on the top and bottom rail for artwork, keys and a phone. This is the ideal solution for petite dwellings that still want to inject some charm into their entryway space.
Metal Entryway Table
Many metal tables give off cold and unwelcoming energy. Luckily, this well-constructed console table didn’t get the memo. With delicate crisscross legs and a tray-inspired top, this table adds the right amount of farmhouse charm to any entryway without going overboard.
Corner Entryway Table
Looking to maximize the space in your entryway? Consider purchasing a corner entryway table, like the Winsome Liso. This affordable piece of furniture has a contemporary, espresso-colored finish and two open shelves, which are great for stashing books or stacking mail. The top of the table is also big enough to display a little lamp or a pretty vase of flowers.
Floating Entryway Table
This floating entryway table is technically a media console, but nobody has to know. Float-mount this piece to any wall near the front door to create a sleek and simple table with closed storage. Consider hanging a statement mirror or artwork above the table to complete the picture.
Entryway Table Alternative
Many homes don’t have the floor space for an entry table. When that’s the case, Vig recommends using the wall space you do have to your upmost advantage. Take this nifty key holder for example. This sleek alternative holds more than just keys– add mail, magazines and even your phone to the open top of the organizer for easy storage.
