Entryway Console Tables, Mirrors & Lighting
An entryway is read in four seconds, which is an argument for doing one thing well rather than three things adequately. A console, something above it, a place to set keys down. That is the whole brief.
Our entryway edit keeps to it: console tables in stone and timber, arch, round and convex mirrors for the wall above, pendants and sconces for the ceiling and flanks, and trays and vases for the surface.
Console height sits at 30 to 34 inches, the mirror above it spans roughly two thirds of the console width, and any pendant clears the floor by at least 7 feet.
Console Tables for the Entryway
Console Tables do a specific job in a entryway: they set the scale of the zone around them and decide how the eye travels through the space. We keep this part of the edit deliberately short — a handful of silhouettes in materials that will still look correct in ten years. Choose the piece that matches the proportion of the wall or seating it serves first, then check the finish against what is already in the room. Warm brass and oak want company; blackened metal and stone prefer to stand alone.

Entryway Questions
- How tall should an entryway console be?
- 30 to 34 inches, so the surface is usable standing and the mirror above still has wall to work with.
- What size mirror goes above an entry console?
- Roughly two thirds of the console's width, hung with four to six inches between the console top and the frame.
- How low can an entry pendant hang?
- Leave at least seven feet of clearance from the floor, more if the door swings beneath it.
- Does an entryway need a rug?
- A flat-woven runner or small wool rug helps, provided the door clears it and it can be shaken out easily.
