How To Style An Entryway
Before Picture Above (So plain!)
After Picture ( So much better!)
The entryway in our rental home is quite long. It’s been sitting bare for awhile as I have been contemplating what to do with it. My initial thought was to get two matching tables and do a similar set up in each area. Then I realized my front door would practically run into one of the tables, so I decided to just decorate the second area further away from the door. I’m still scheming up an idea for the area by the front door. I’m thinking maybe a simple bench with a painting above it might work nicely.
I was in love with the table as soon as I set eyes on it when browsing the aisles of At Home Stores. It’s the perfect definition of “Rustic Chic” and at the price of $150 it was really a good value. I knew I wanted a pretty mirror to hang above it so that was my next item to search for. Adding a mirror to a wall can make such a difference. It completely opens up the room, and makes it feel so much bigger than it really is.
I found the perfect bronzed circular mirror to hang above the table. I think it was around $70 and it’s such a great piece. I could hang one in every room I like it so much, ha! I grabbed a couple gold decorative pieces to tie in the gold from the mirror. I love the long oval dish to toss keys in when we walk in the door. I wanted a simple rug that wasn’t too busy. I found this one and instantly knew it would be perfect. It’s design isn’t super overpowering, and the color is perfect.
Styling an entryway can be easily done with just a few pieces. I would suggest starting with the main piece first, like the table and then simply style around it. Choose a color palette and add a couple of accents. I hope to do something with the area by the front door next. Feel free to leave me some suggestions in the comments below!

LOVING these tips as we are about to buy our first home! That entry way looks PERFECT!! xo
So cute! I definitely think a tufted bench would be cute in that other space. You could hang a large piece of art or put in some hooks to hang hats/coats/etc.
Yes! I have a big piece of art I’m thinking about adding!
I sooo need to check out the Home Store now. I had no idea they have such pretty pieces! I, too, have an entryway that’s needs a facelift!
