When guests come over there is no bigger moment than when they come to the door. What they see here will set the tone for what they can expect to see in the house. A welcoming front entrance will leave a lasting impression to those visiting. Make it feel cosy and inviting by styling the space.

No matter how big or small your front entrance is, there is nothing like having a space to allow you to rest keys, wallets and sunnies on as you walk in. It’s also an indicator for guests that they too can leave the shoes and bag here while they visit you.

Consider the size of the space you have and look for something to suit. If you lack space, choose something narrow with clean lines. Opt for something sleek and narrow. By choosing something with a classic style like 2 Drawer Wooden Console Table you can make the space feel bigger. Hanging a mirror above it will give the illusion of extra space here by bringing in extra light and brightening the space. Choose small, minimal decor pieces for styling and if you add any rugs to this space, choose something larger to give the illusion that the floorspace is again larger than it looks. A rug that frames the space will also make the guests feel cosy as they walk in.

If you are lucky enough to have a larger front entrance, consider a larger hall table. Make this space feel a little grander by opting for a heavier console. The Solid 3 Drawer Mango Wood Sideboard will give the appearance of grandeur by choosing a heavier wood. The Console Table in White would also work well in this space with its long lines, shelves and curved legs will bring in another sense of luxe in a really subtle way. If you have a larger space and the entrance is well lit, consider going bolder with your choice by choosing a darker colour wood or paint. This will bring the style up a notch and give you a really good place to anchor the design to. Allow everything else in this space to be subtle in tones and designs so the console can really be a focal point.

The 3 Drawer Console Table in Black is a statement piece in it’s own right so let it do the talking and invite guests in. Choose a large rug here if you can and really allow the space to feel every inch it’s size. By choosing a neutral rug and pairing back the decor, allowing a large scale mirror or artwork to hang above the console, you’ll create a really luxe vibe to the space and your guests will be eager to come through to the rest of your home.

Long or wide hallways will always benefit from having a hall table as well. It doesn’t need to be huge, something simple will have an impact. It can be a great place to have a beautiful lamp, somewhere to feature beautiful family photos or somewhere to just have a place to pop things on your way down the hall. It adds interest to an otherwise bland space.

Another great place to add a console with open plan living is behind the lounge. It can be a place to rest coffee table books, helps separate living spaces from walkways and can be a really fun way to store throws in great baskets or stack floor cushions for extra seating. It becomes another space that adds a little more interest to the room, another item to style up and give a little extra luxe to the space.

Consoles are so versatile because they are so varied in size and style. They can be great for so many uses and in no way limited to what they can do to a space. The possibilities for where a console can go in your home is endless, by choosing something classic, no matter how many times you move home, you will always find it belongs.
