Homestyling: Beautifully Decorated Hall Tables

FREE IMAGES

I love the look of an elegant little dresser or console table in an entry hall. Aside from being extremely functional, a hall table is also a perfect place for a gorgeous vignette display!

Here are a few ideas for creating a BEAUTIFULLY DECORATED HALL TABLE...

A large mirror or piece of artwork hung a few inches above the tabletop acts as a backdrop for smaller accessories, adding depth and interest to a decorative table setting.

Sculpture is a striking addition to a hall table vignette, as is a collection of unique and eclectic artwork.  The space becomes a mini showcase of the homeowner's personality and design tastes.

The repetition of colour, texture and pattern creates the appearance of thoughtful design, while decorative items arranged by height enhances a display's visual appeal.

A combination of period styles adds creative tension to an artistic vignette.  I love the mix of modern and neoclassical elements in this arrangement!

Family photos are a lovely way to personalize a front entrance.  Combined with a stylish colour palette of black, white and silver, the effect is one of simple and easy elegance.

Displaying items in an asymmetrical fashion looks amazing in an eclectic setting, while glass and mirrored surfaces instantly 'up' the glam factor of any hall display.

The addition of chairs or benches positioned on either side of a hall table visually extends the parameters of a decorative vignette.

A pair of tall, slender table lamps and a collection of crystal accessories are classic elements of a beautiful hall table display.  This stunning arrangement is definitely one of my favorites!

Both pretty and practical, accent tables are an easy and affordable way to add an interesting statement piece to your existing design scheme.

I tuck small tables and garden stools beside each of my living and family room chairs.  They're the perfect size for setting down a book, a cup of coffee, or a glass of wine.

Do you love to use lovely little accent tables in your home?

For decades, the silver screen has enchanted us with the romantic notion of a lady's DRESSING TABLE.  

The very idea of sitting at a beautiful vanity as we prepare ourselves for the day ahead seems so glamorous.

The following images are deliciously indulgent spaces, each designed specifically for pampering ourselves in luxurious style.

Do you think the very concept of a DRESSING TABLE seems overly frivolous, or simply fabulous?

 

The fact that being seated at a gorgeous vanity guarantees flawlessly applied makeup and a great hair day definitely sways my opinion.

Or maybe, that really only happens in the movies...

...Oh well, a girl can still dream!

As the centerpiece of a furniture arrangement, a coffee table is a important element in a living room design plan.  Sophisticated and elegant, a GLASS COFFEE TABLE is an appealing option favored for its equal contribution of style and function. 

The images below illustrate the clear benefits of including a glass coffee table as a pretty and practical component of an interior design scheme.
