THESE FOUR WALLS:: Entryway Essentials {for small spaces}

I’ve talked about my chest of drawers that I use as my entryway table here but this time I am sharing with you my 5 favorite essentials I always decorate with when styling this tabletop.

If you are like me and don’t have a large enough foyer to place an entry table, I placed mine in the entryway of my living room with two large floor mirrors flanking on each side to balance out that area. I found that converting a nightstand with drawers serves as a practical use since I can use it to store everyday items as well as storing my winter accessories, since storage is limited – meaning no coat closet (humph!).

Accessorize your entryway tabletop with a tray. This is a chic way to display your entryway essentials, keeps everything organized in one place, and adds a layer of interest to your tabletop.

An entryway is the first place your guests see when entering your home so having fresh flowers placed on your entryway table is a perfect way to welcome guests as they make their way into the rest of your home. Even if I am not expecting guests, I still like to splurge on a pretty bouquet! Wonder where the water is in my open vase? I used a small glass and inserted inside (wink).

Using a catch-all bowl or dish works well for placing your keys.

Place a decorative accent piece or sculpture on your tray to add character and style. Since my accent piece has a lid, I use it to stash my favorite ginger candy!

Add ambiance to your beautifully decorated tray with a scented candle, especially one that comes in a pretty decorative jar. This would be the perfect finishing touch!
