11 great proposals to create an elegant and welcoming entrance using a simple table

Sometimes the entrance to a house is bare because there is no space and you don't know how to decorate it. Other times, however, it is a place that attracts, like a magnet, an unsightly mess. Or maybe you have tried to decorate it, but without decent results. The answer, in all these cases, could be a small table.

We are talking about tables that are longer than they are wide: the length will go up against a wall; the width, on the other hand, is based on the dimensions of the entrance itself. As such, these tables act as purely decorative "shelves", that can hold the clutter typically found at the entrance to the home. Check out the ideas below:

Simple, made of wood, high enough to make room for whatever you need kept underneath, and wide enough to be able to accommodate decorative objects. Or, when needed, even useful things that you need to remember on the way out.

Some come with a shelf at the bottom, perfect for baskets and décor boxes that will hide the mess.

If the entrance is reduced by an ajoining flight of stairs, a narrow table can still be deployed.

And if, on the other hand, the wall is long, you can go for a long, narrow entrance table.

There are also many DIY projects for those who like to work with wood and build one of these custom-made tables.

Little space available? Have no fear. A narrow table - perhaps made of metal - can also make a great impression.

Combinations of metal and wood in geometric shapes are also very beautiful: a combination of natural and modern that is always attractive.

Often, to complete an arrangement, large mirrors and vases with flowers can be used.

Often, these thin tables are put over adiators, somewhat disguising their presence.

Sometimes, there will be space available underneath for shoe racks (or something else).

And how about a wrought iron table fixed to the wall?
