Hallways and consoles: First impressions count
The entryway is the transitional space between the outdoors and the privacy of the home. Its design must address two fundamental needs: to offer an aesthetically pleasing welcome that foreshadows the style of the rest of the house and to provide practical organizational solutions for comings and goings. Modern entryway furniture , such as narrow consoles or benches with storage, is designed to optimize these often limited square meters without overwhelming them. Our collection features pieces that balance visual lightness with functionality, using materials such as natural wood, metal, and glass to create bright and uncluttered entrances.
Key elements for a functional hall
| Furniture | Technical Specifications | Function at the Entrance |
|---|---|---|
| Narrow Consoles | Reduced depth (30-40 cm), support height (75-80 cm), with or without drawers. | Surface for keys, mail and decoration without obstructing passage in hallways. |
| Benches for removing shoes | Comfortable seat, often with a lower shelf or storage compartment for shoes. | They make it easier to put on and take off shoes, keeping the floor clear. |
| Designer Shoe Racks | Hinged doors, rear ventilation, sideboard furniture aesthetic. | They conceal everyday footwear, maintaining a clean and tidy aesthetic. |
| Hallway Mirrors | Large formats or compositions, decorative or minimalist frames. | Essential for that last look before leaving and for multiplying the light. |
Advantages of a well-equipped entryway
- Immediate order: Having an assigned place for keys, coats, and shoes prevents clutter from spreading to the rest of the house.
- Space optimization: Suspended furniture or furniture with high legs reveals the floor, increasing the feeling of spaciousness in small entrances.
- Style definition: It is the perfect place to take a risk with a designer piece or a noble material that sets the decorative tone.
- Daily functionality: Streamlines departure and arrival routines, making domestic life smoother and more comfortable.
Tips for decorating small entryways
If your entryway is small or a hallway is narrow, a console table is your best friend. Choose visually light models, made of metal or glass, or wall-mounted ones. Combine it with a large mirror to double the perception of space and reflect light. Take advantage of wall height with coat racks or floating shelves instead of bulky floor-standing furniture. Lighting is also key: a table lamp or wall sconces create a much more welcoming atmosphere than a single ceiling light.
Frequently asked questions about entryway furniture
-
What height should a console table be?
The standard height is between 75 and 85 cm, a comfortable height for placing objects upright without having to bend down.
-
How to protect the wall behind the bench?
You can use a wooden wainscoting, washable wallpaper, or simply place cushions on the backrest to prevent rubbing.
-
What is the minimum depth I need for an entryway cabinet?
For passageways, look for furniture that's 25-35 cm deep. That's enough to place items and store documents without getting in the way.
-
Do modern styles combine with classic entrances?
Yes, a minimalist console with straight lines can create a very elegant contrast in a classically designed entryway.
