Think About Furniture

A narrow hall table or entryway table is one of the best ways to highlight your entryway. Go for a table that has storage, as well or use decorative baskets to hide items away. I am thinking about you doggie leash!

Go bold and elegant with a painted dark entryway table like this one below. Have a very narrow entryway? Consider a wall mounted foyer table, basically half the size.

Ikea shoe cabinets are great for narrow entryways because of their size. Bonus is that they are big on storage! Add a DIY wood top and drawer pulls to give it a custom look.

Keep your entryway simple by only adding in a small bench.

Entryway Mirror

Mirrors are a must have for small spaces! Go for the largest mirror you can for the space. Either a similar size to your entryway table or two thirds of it.

Choose a mirror with similar wood tones as the table or décor for a simple entryway.

Or use a mirror with a contrasting frame.

Not able to hang a mirror? Think about using a large floor mirror instead! You could even prop it up on a small narrow bench like this one below.

Hang Something Up

Picture ledges are great for small spaces! Decorate the entryway with your favorite family photos or artwork.
