One of the best things to know before decorating a foyer table is the design element of SCALE AND PROPORTION! You will want to find the perfect table, the perfect lamps, etc for your foyer you want to start with THIS POST ABOUT SCALE AND PROPORTION.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT FOYER TABLE


foyer table decorated beautifully. A foyer table make a first impression in our homes
Choosing the right table for your foyer is of primary importance! It should work with your decor and if it is one of the first things seen on the inside of your home make is a peek of what’s to come!

I want my foyer table to be both pretty and functional. It must look pretty, reflect my style and personality and function as a table for lighting and more!

Tables are not the only things you can use in the foyer! Get creative!

Here are some alternatives to a table…

buffet
tall chest
tray tables
bookcase

The table in our foyer is long and has a transitional and farmhouse style. It works with the style of our home and is very functional. The top can be opened up and it becomes a larger table.

ADD FUNCTIONAL AND BEAUTIFUL LIGHTING

Lighting is so important in a foyer. Even though most foyers have overhead lighting, it can be harsh. I keep my overhead chandelier dimmed to just a warm glow. And use table lamps to flood the foyer with pools of overlapping light.

There is a big need for the lamps you choose to be functional (lighting a dark space) and be just stunning! Function and fabulous is important here!

The foyer table is long enough to hold a pair of lamps. 

DON’T FORGET AN ORGANIC ELEMENT ON A FOYER TABLE

Organic elements like plants, flowers, moss balls and more add life to a room! If you can, keep great faux flowers or real ones on a foyer table. A plant will also work!

Nothing draws our eyes like flowers!

ADD SOMETHING PERSONAL
A foyer is a wonderful place to add something personal. A special little box, a picture, a sign a special vase.

PUT SOMETHING ABOVE YOUR FOYER TABLE

Foyer table decor should include something above the table! A table looks incomplete without something above it!

Think of your foyer table as just part of a vignette that welcomes guests and family! Our eyes need something to look at on the wall behind a table.

It can be a clock or picture or mirror or more! I had a pair of pictures above the table but when I got the pair of lamps I changed things a bit.

ADD SOMETHING BELOW A FOYER TABLE

Foyer table decor should not only be extended above a table but below if you have the room.

My go-to item to stow under tables is a basket! I like a basket with a lid in my foyer because I think it is a much neater look!

Other things to put under a table are…

small benches or ottomans
crates
lanterns
open baskets
stacks of books
ginger jars
garden stools
planters
signs
pictures
vintage luggage

MORE IDEAS FOR FORYER TABLE DECOR
Here are some other ways to create beauty on or around a foyer table…

  • Simple is best! One of my decorating mantras is BIGGER IS BETTER AND LESS IS MORE! A good rule to follow when it comes to decorating a foyer table!
  • If you have room in your foyer, a little accent chair can really complete the look! If your foyer table and things on it is simple you might be able to get away with a fabulous patterned chair. And vice versa!
  • Keep clutter away from your foyer table. Make is a clutter-free zone!
  • If you use the entrance near your foyer table add a small bowl or a lidded box for car keys.
  • Use a scented candle to create a welcoming aroma. Or get a pretty diffuser and diffuse clean smelling scents.
A foyer table should reflect your personality, your unique style and the rest of your home!!! Make it a good impression!

AESTHETIC CHARACTERISTICS OF PLANTS

Image
Texture, form, size, and color are the physical characteristics of plants that provide interest, variety, and aesthetic appeal to a landscape. Besides being essential to life on our planet, plants add beauty and charm with their unique forms and color. Physical characteristics give each plant a distinct look and personality. Some plants are extroverts—loud, boisterous, and energetic attention-getters—while other plants are introverts—quiet, calm, and content to be in the background. A good mix of plant personalities creates an interesting and appealing garden.                                                                Some plants may have more value as a visual element in the landscape based on their physical characteristics.  The visual value describes the energy or impact of the plant in relation to its surroundings.  Some characteristics are more visually dominant and have a higher visual value, some are more functionally dominant, and some dominate simply by size.
