1. Use a large mirror.
large mirror—especially a round one—above your entry table creates the illusion of more space and reflects light beautifully, perfect for a small foyer or narrow hallway. You can also lean a mirror against the wall for a more casual, modern vibe.
Whether you have it on the wall…

Find the large round black frame mirror here.
Or on the table, leaning against the wall…

Or you could also add multiple mirrors in a gallery style. This one is my favorite. 🙂

2. Table Lamps at Each End
Adding table lamps to each end of your console table creates a symmetrical look and adds ambient lighting. I love all of the texture in this vignette.

3. Incorporate Wicker Baskets
Wicker baskets placed under your entryway table offer built-in storage for important items, avoiding a cluttered look.
