1. Small Entryway Console Table
A common way to style your entryway is with a console table. The key to style a small entryway area is to have a small console table.
Sure I could fit a larger table on this wall, but it wouldn’t look proportional to the space. And it might interfere with the door opening.
So to be on the safe side, opt for a small console table, sideboard, or cabinet. The console table shown above is 36″ wide. But you can find beautiful tables even smaller than this!
Whatever table you choose, make sure to check the depth of it. You do not want a 24″ deep table in a small entryway! So try to go as narrow as you can for your small entryway space!
Anchor your table by placing tall accessories such as floral arrangements, table lamps, candle holders, etc. on both ends.
Placing baskets with pillows or throws under your console table gives your entryway a very cozy touch.
You may hang wall art or a mirror above your console table. Or you could place it right on the tabletop (as long as the table can easily hold its weight)!

Adding a plant to your entry will add some life and interest. So if you have the space definitely include a little greenery in your entryway! And if you are like me and don’t have a green thumb, go for the fake stuff! Faux plants can be very beautiful and realistic! Not to mention low maintenance!
2. Small Entryway Accent Chair And Table
Another great way to style your entryway area is with an accent chair and table!
If your space allows for it, accessorizing your entryway with a simple chair is an easy way to welcome your guests into your home! Just make sure it doesn’t obstruct any walkways or look out of place.
Pair it with a tiny accent table and a floor lamp and you have the perfect cozy entrance!
Hang art or pictures with picture lighting on the wall for a sophisticated touch!
NOTE: If your space doesn’t allow for a chair, you might still be able to display a beautiful accent table in the corner with a floral arrangement!
3. Small Entryway Bench
A super popular way to style your entryway right now is with a bench! Which is great if you have a small entryway area and need minimalistic furniture!
Place a small narrow bench with just a couple of pillows on top and baskets below. This is a super simple and affordable way to style your entryway!
Add hooks above to hang decorative pieces such as wreaths and baskets or accessories such as hats!
NOTE: You can add hooks regardless of whether or not you have a board and batten. Just place them directly on your wall! Or get a wall rack with hooks on it! Plus it’s so convenient to have a USEFUL entryway area!
If you have a board and batten accent wall don’t be afraid to use the space above it as well! This is a great spot for welcome signs, picture frames, or framed art!
