Organic elements like flowers and greenery are an easy way to add a personal touch to your console table styling.
Grab your favorite flowers (faux or dried if you want them to last a while) and lay them in a basket. Add greenery stems to a vase and add a botanical print to tie it all together. I love the use of natural materials!
An entry console is a perfect place to have a drop zone for keys, sunglasses, mail, etc... A great option to do this is to add a tray to corral all of those things.

Entryway console tables are the perfect opportunity to add some storage. Baskets on the shelves of this table give you plenty of places to keep things organized and out of sight.
I love the sliding barn doors too! Hide away any mess simply by sliding them closed.
When guests come over it's always nice to have extra seating options and being able to tuck them away under a console table when they aren't being used is a great use of the space under the table.
Those ottomans are also great to pull out when putting on your shoes before leaving the house.
There's a lot going on on the top of this entryway table. It's a drop zone, there's symmetry with the two matching lamps, and favorite pieces are proudly displayed here.

Add a pair of lamps to your console table for a symmetrical look in your space. Even though the other items are all different, placed the way they are on top and under this entryway table, the scale and symmetry works.
So far, we haven't talked about mirrors. Maybe because we have been talking about the decor on the console tables. About half of the spaces so far have had a mirror above the table.
Don't leave your entryway table decor unfinished, add a mirror if it fits in your space. It's not only a great place to double-check how you look before you head out the door, but it bounces light around the room and makes it appear larger.
