Hanging a mirror above your entryway table is one of those timeless decor ideas that serves both form and function. Mirrors are one of those timeless decor ideas that serve both form and function. They reflect light, making your entryway feel larger and brighter while giving guests (and yourself) a convenient spot for last-minute appearance checks before heading out the door.

Here are some tips and tricks for choosing your mirrors:

• Match your style- The mirror you choose should reflect your personal style and overall home decor aesthetic:
  • Ornate gilded frames add traditional elegance for classic interiors
  • Simple round mirrors with thin brass or black frames suit modern and minimalist aesthetics
  • Weathered wood or industrial metal frames work perfectly for farmhouse or rustic styles
  • Geometric shapes (hexagons, arches, asymmetrical designs) inject contemporary flair and become sculptural elements
• Perfect placement - Hang your mirror 4 to 6 inches above the table's surface, though adjust based on ceiling height and mirror size. What matters most is that proportions feel balanced and the mirror doesn't overwhelm your decor.
• Sizing strategy - A larger mirror serves as the primary focal point, while a smaller one allows other decor elements to share the spotlight.
• Alternative styling - Don't be afraid to think beyond traditional placement. A leaning mirror propped against the wall creates a relaxed, effortless vibe that works especially well in eclectic or bohemian decor schemes.

While mirrors are wonderful, don't overlook the impact of wall art above your entryway table. Art prints and posters offer an incredible opportunity to infuse personality and set the tone for your entire home decor right from the entrance.

When selecting wall art for your entryway, think about the message you want to convey. Abstract art prints bring sophisticated visual interest and can work with virtually any decor color scheme. Botanical prints or nature photography create a calming, organic feel that makes guests feel at ease. For a more personal touch, consider art prints that reflect your interests - vintage travel posters for the adventurous soul, minimalist line drawings for modern aesthetics, or vibrant pop art for bold personalities.

Posters are particularly versatile for entryway decor styling. They're easy to swap out seasonally or whenever you want to refresh your space, making them perfect for those who love to change their decor frequently. A well-chosen poster in a quality frame can look just as sophisticated as an expensive piece of original art.

Consider creating a small gallery wall above your console table if you have the space. Mix different sizes of art prints and posters for visual interest, but keep a cohesive element - whether that's consistent framing, a unified color palette, or a common theme. Alternatively, one large statement piece can anchor the entire entryway decor and eliminate the need for additional wall art.

The key is ensuring your wall art complements rather than competes with the items on your table surface. If you have a busy, colorful arrangement on the table, consider more subdued art prints above. Conversely, if your table decor styling is minimal, bolder posters or vibrant art prints can add the drama your entryway needs.

Here's one of the most overlooked decor ideas for entryway tables: incorporating a fruit bowl. While typically associated with kitchens and dining areas, a beautiful fruit bowl on your entryway table serves multiple purposes and creates an unexpectedly sophisticated look.

A sculptural fruit bowl filled with seasonal fruit adds organic color and texture to your entryway decor. Imagine a modern wire fruit bowl displaying perfectly imperfect citrus fruits, their vibrant oranges and yellows catching the light from your lamp. Or picture a sleek ceramic fruit bowl with smooth, elegant lines holding a carefully arranged collection of apples, pears, and grapes that echo the colors in your wall art.

The beauty of a fruit bowl in the entryway is that it feels both intentional and casual - it's artistic yet approachable. It suggests abundance and hospitality in a subtle way. Plus, there's something charming about grabbing an apple on your way out the door.

Choose a fruit bowl that complements your decor style. Wooden bowls bring warmth and work beautifully in rustic or Scandinavian-inspired spaces. Metal fruit bowls with geometric designs suit modern aesthetics. Ceramic or porcelain bowls can be found in virtually any color to match your decor scheme. Even an antique or vintage fruit bowl can become a conversation piece that adds character to your entryway decor.

Keep the fruit fresh and visually appealing - this isn't the place for browning bananas. Stick to 3-5 pieces of fruit arranged with intention, or fill the bowl with decorative objects like ornamental spheres if you prefer a no-maintenance decor option. Browse our ceramic collection to find the perfect piece that combines style and function for your entryway.

Practical yet stylish, decorative trays are essential decor ideas for maintaining an organized entryway. These pieces corral smaller items like keys, sunglasses, and mail while preventing your beautifully styled table from becoming cluttered.

Choose a tray that complements your overall decor aesthetic. A marble or stone tray brings sophistication, a wooden tray adds warmth, and a mirrored or metallic tray reflects light and adds glamour. Place it centrally or off to one side, and arrange a few curated decor items within it - perhaps a small succulent, a decorative candle, and a piece of coral or a pretty stone.

The key is intentionality - every item should earn its place in your decor. Your tray creates a designated "drop zone" for daily essentials while keeping them contained and visually cohesive with your overall styling and decor scheme.

The most memorable decor ideas are those that reflect who you are. Your entryway table is the perfect place to display meaningful objects that tell your story - without turning it into a cluttered collection.

Consider displaying a few treasured decor items: a framed family photo, a piece of pottery from your travels, a vintage find from a flea market, or a small sculpture that speaks to you. These personal elements make your entryway decor feel authentic and lived-in rather than staged, helping guests feel more at ease.

Rotate these decor items seasonally or whenever you find something new that resonates with you. The beauty of entryway decor styling is that it's never truly finished - it evolves with you and your home decor. Discover unique pieces that tell your story by exploring our collection today.

One of the most enjoyable aspects of entryway table styling is adapting your decor ideas to reflect the changing seasons. Seasonal decor updates don't require a complete overhaul - often, small switches make a significant impact while keeping your entryway feeling fresh and current.

• Spring Refresh - Introduce fresh flowers, pastel accents in your art prints or posters, and lighter, airier decor elements. Switch to brighter lampshades if you have adjustable options to bring more light into your entryway decor.
• Summer Vibes - Embrace bright colors throughout your decor. Update your fruit bowl with summer citrus and berries, swap in beach-themed posters or coastal art prints, and incorporate seashells or coral for a breezy coastal decor feel.
• Autumn Warmth - Invite warm tones into your wall art decor with deeper jewel tones and cozy textures. Fill your fruit bowl with mini pumpkins, pomegranates, and autumn leaves. Consider art prints or posters with warm, golden tones or fall foliage themes that complement your autumn decor scheme.
• Winter Elegance - Winter decor styling can include evergreen branches and metallic accents that catch the light from your lamps. Use mirrors that help reflect the sparkle of the season. Your wall art can transition to winter landscapes or abstract pieces in cool, icy tones for a sophisticated winter decor aesthetic.
  
  

These seasonal transitions keep your entryway feeling fresh and demonstrate attention to detail that guests appreciate, even if they don't consciously register what's changed. Swapping out posters and art prints is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to achieve dramatic seasonal changes without investing in entirely new decor pieces. 

The secret to mastering these decor ideas lies in creating cohesion among all your elements. Your lamps, mirrors, wall art, posters, art prints, and even your fruit bowl should work together to tell a unified story.

Start by choosing a color palette and stick to it. If your art prints feature blues and greens, echo those colors in your lamp base or the fruit in your bowl. If your mirror has a gold frame, incorporate gold accents in your lamp finish or picture frames.

Consider the style consistency too. Modern art prints pair beautifully with sleek lamps and geometric mirrors, while vintage posters complement antique-style mirrors and traditional lamp designs. Your fruit bowl can be the bridge between styles - a rustic wooden bowl can warm up a modern space, while a contemporary fruit bowl can add freshness to a traditional setting.

The wall art or mirror you choose sets the tone for everything below it. Let it guide your decisions for the table surface. Bold, colorful posters call for more restrained table styling, while subtle, minimalist art prints allow you to be more adventurous with your lamp and accessory choices.
