Shop NowUse a Narrow Console Table for Entryway Storage
Whether you know them as console tables, entryway tables, or sofa tables, one thing is for sure: Placing a narrow console table in a home’s entrance is a classic move, and it’s common for a reason. Entryways tend to be narrow, but they look bare when you put nothing in them. They can also easily get cluttered with shoes, keys, and mail. A narrow console table provides a place to stow stray clutter for a presentable presentation every time you walk through the door.
But don’t think of narrow console tables for entryway organization only. They also provide the perfect spot to hang up your favorite art, family photos, or a mirror. Art adds color to your space while family photos add a personal touch and a mirror can help make your face feel brighter and larger as it bounces the light around.
