20 Hallway table decor ideas

Spruce up your hallway with a fabulous display!

The table in your hallway is often the focal point of the whole space. It makes sense to keep the table well-kept. You can always mirror your home’s interior styling or opt for a different look. And if your hallway table is saturated in your entranceway, it can be the perfect place to put all your essential items.

Books


Books on display in a home tell so much about a person; plus, they look gorgeous when stacked!

Vases


You could use an interesting vase as a decor piece or fill it with beautiful blooms to add some freshness to your space.

Lamps


Lamps are not only practical in a space by providing light at night, but they also look gorgeous as decor pieces.

1. Planted on warm wood

Make a statement by parking a larger potted plant over your hallway table. This is a great way to elevate what might be a shorter plant and play around with your interior’s furniture height.

2. Quirky decor

Quirky table pieces not only bring vibrance to your space but add character to it, too. It’s a great way to show off your personality if you’re into adorable oddities.

3. Slim vase for tall blooms

Working with a small table? Maximise height. Pairing long-stemmed blooms with a tall and slim vase will do wonders to not only bring height to your tablescape but lend a tender elegance to the space, too.

4. Contrasting colours

Let your hallway decor pop by choosing colours that stand out against your interior. For example, an emerald green table and mustard vase make for a great combo that’s refreshing and playful over a white wall.

5. Rad rattan

Rattan textures are ideal for their neutral colours and woven finish. They work well with dark, neutral, or light colour palettes. Decorate your hallway table with rattan pieces that can be artistic decorations or storage boxes.

6. Makeshift table

If you don’t want to splurge on a hallway table, you can always upcycle a spare bench you might have for displaying your favourite decoration pieces. The more you can fit together, the more eclectic and visually interesting it will be.

7. Stacked books

Love to read? Pile your most prized literature possessions on your hallway table as a display. If you can, stack them by size, with the largest at the bottom for balance.

8. Elegant pieces

If you’re ever wondering what colour scheme to use, then neutral tones are a good choice. They bring an air of effortless sophistication to any space.

10. Glamorous gold

If you’re all about gold but don’t want to spend too much on decor, opt for small but functional pieces. Gold potting for succulents or indoor plants is a great alternative.

11. Candles by the frames

Adding long, sleek candles by a row of frames — mirror included — can help create variety in what might seem like a uniform row of similar shapes.

12. Indoor plants

There’s nothing quite like a fresh pop of green indoors. Position your potted plant on an all-white or neutral table to let it stand out.

13. Centered pieces

Can’t decide on just one centrepiece for your hallway table? Group them all in the middle! Remember to balance their heights, for example, keeping the sole tall piece in the middle.

14. Fine art displays

15. Paired pops of colour

16. Stacked display
