- 1). Choose a foyer table. A foyer table is just one element in your foyer space, so when choosing a table keep in mind the style of your home, the space available and the scale of your space. You want a table to fit perfectly in your entryway.
- 2). Add lighting. Foyer areas are often dimly lit, so if you have an electrical outlet available near your table, add a lamp on one side of the table. If space allows, two lamps on the right and left side of the foyer table add even more lighting and gives the space a symmetrical look.
- 3). Hang a mirror behind your table. As an extension of your table space, a wall mirror behind your table gives the illusion of added space. Since most foyers are narrow, a mirror creates a feeling of width.
- 4). Lay a rug in front of your foyer table. Rugs are great ways to add color and texture to a space. Incorporate some of the colors in the rug with items on your table.
- 5). Add practical items to your table. Most homeowners want an area to set down their keys and mail, so include a small tray or basket on your table so practical items are within easy reach each day.
- 6). Accessorize your foyer table. Add a creative touch to your table by accessorizing your table top with seasonal items such as a tray of pumpkins, gourds and Indian corn in autumn, apothecary jars filled with multicolored ornaments in winter, bird nests and birdhouses in spring and fresh flowers in vases in summer.
- 7). Add battery-operated candles. The crowning touch to your dramatic foyer table is the addition of candlelight. Finish your foyer table design with one or two battery-operated candles among your accessories for a soft, welcoming effect.
