HOW TO DESIGN A STUNNING FOYER CONSOLE TABLE USING THESE 6 EASY STEPS: STEP ONE
THE TABLE
Measure your wall to determine how large your table should be. A console table can be anywhere from 24″ to 72″ or longer depending on your available space. Ideally you want to have some empty space on each side so it doesn’t look to crowded. I used a beautiful light wood console table to give a coastal aesthetic for this project, this aesthetic was my overall goal when designing multiple spaces in this client’s home. There are many different styles of console tables, I would suggest a transitional style in case you are considering updating your home or you are not sure what style you like best.

THE BASKETS
The next step in the tutorial of how you can design a stunning foyer console table is to add some beautiful baskets to the bottom of your table. You can find reasonably priced gorgeous baskets at World Market. World Market has an on-line store and ships directly to your home. The basket(s) you choose should fill the space nicely, and not be too large or or too small. These braided rectangular baskets are absolutey perfect for this project.

ADD A MIRROR OR WALL ART
The next step in creating a stunning designer styled foyer console table is adding a large wall mirror or wall art above the table. If you have a smaller space definitely go with a mirror. If you have a large space, you can go with wall art. I am loving colorful oversized canvas wall art right now. With this specific project, I did have a large space but I chose a mirror since we are doing wall art in other areas. Be sure to center your mirror or wall art with the console table.
Designer Tip – Have a small room or space, go with a mirror, because mirrors make rooms and spaces look larger.

THE LAMP
A beautiful bold lamp matching the overall console table style will add some height and light to your stunning foyer design. Do you know that even if you don’t have an outlet close by, there are BULBS that you can purchase that do not require electric and turn on with a remote? When looking for a lamp, you could go neutral or use it to add color, just be certain the lamp is the correct size and doesn’t get lost or crowd your stunning console table.

The last and final step in completing your stunning foyer console table is to make it personal and fill in the empty spaces. Add some fluffy blankets to your baskets, add your favorite photo to a frame, add in some mementos or items that have meaning to you and your family.
