Just as the average person forms an impression of you within 15 seconds of your first meeting, the foyer or entryway of your home sets the tone for their greeting and thus, deserves thought and attention. It's the first opportunity to make your guests relaxed, and just as importantly, to help you downshift into relaxation mode after a hard day at the office or for any extended time away from the home.
The furniture in this entryway speaks volumes toward the goal of reaching that first, positive impression. Can hall console tables help do all this? Yes!
Generally, the first thing a person does when entering their home is to set down their keys, briefcase, homework, or groceries. A conveniently located and appropriately sized table helps take the load off, both literally and mentally. Naturally, the size of hall console tables will be determined by both the space around it and its primary use.
If your table sits in a small entryway with only enough space for a beautiful bouquet, or aromatic candles, it will still make a statement and set the mood. Your psyche and that of your guests will appreciate your attention to detail and welcoming message!
To help achieve this goal, make sure the hall table does not overwhelm the area around it or block the flow of traffic. While there is no set formula to determine this, you can easily place tape on the floor to designate the future home of your table and make sure you are still able to move freely around it.
Unlike a living room or bedroom, where pieces need some semblance of uniformity, hall console tables likely will not be competing visually with the look of other furniture. This may mean you have many more options on the shape and color of your piece: square and rectangular hall console tables are common, as is the ever-popular but classic half-moon shape.
If space allows, you may consider a round table that could serve a double use for overflow dining or playing cards and games. Take advantage of greater choices online if you have a usually shaped area, which may afford a long and narrow table or one that is a unique artistic centerpiece.
Does the hall table need to reflect its surroundings? Depending on ceiling height, trim, paint color, flooring materials and size of the entryway, you may consider dark, heavy wood such as mahogany or even stone, as the Romans did. Conversely, perhaps your entry is light and airy, dictating glass, teak or even bamboo.
Nothing ruins the mood more than clutter. Particularly if you have a large family, the option for drawers or shelves in your hall console tables could be a must! Perhaps you need a combination of both to accommodate a busy household or because of limited storage space.
Fortunately, purchasing hall console tables online provides unlimited choices, saving you time and money. Unlike factory or furniture department stores, you can easily browse through the choices with a click of your mouse or use a search feature to find the exact style or brand name you are interested in to view a variety of styles and options to fit your particular situation.
Unless you have a very vivid imagination, it can be difficult to picture your future furniture item in the room where it will reside. Shopping from the comfort of your own home helps you visualize the pieces in their eventual surroundings.
Whatever your budget, the substantial savings on free shipping eases the stress on your pocketbook and can add flexibility to your final decision, giving your peace of mind and greater satisfaction with your new purchase
