Hallway Table Styling Ideas
I bought this beautiful solid timber pedestal table for a great price off a private seller and I am trying to style it. Just wondering does this mirror match this table? I was also going to add branches to ceramic vase maybe olive branches or would they look better in a round vase? The scalloped bowl is our key bowl so I would like that to stay. Any ideas welcome :)

Entrance / Hallway Ideas?
Comments (33)Consider combining the concept of console with shoe storage. Check out this cabinet for example. http://www.mattblatt.com.au/Credenza-Storage/Bakbo-Tall-Cabinet.aspx?p19566c17#19568 It has a mid century modern feel and comes in both blond and walnut timber. While this style of cabinet is a bit taller than the average console or buffet it is still low enough for a mirror over the top. The advantage is it's a stylish piece of furniture that has shelves for shoes, hidden behind doors. Although the entry/hall is long it is already full of doors so try not to fill it up with furniture. A single cool looking piece of furniture on either walls #1 or #3 with some fabulous artwork on wall #5 and whichever of #1 and #3 doesn't have the cabinet on....See MoreDecorating ideas needed for my front hall
Comments (12)Hi cjones2011 I would place a console on the right hand wall and remmove the planter box from the corner. Position a table lamp on the console if you have a powerpoint, or get creative with an led candle in a lantern base, add 1-2 special styling elements on the console like a vases. Some storage can be obtained with the choice of console with drawers but avoid any clutter. A mirror or artwork on the wall above the console and a floor rug to soften the tiles would complete the area. PS wallpaper on the wall will give this area some extra wow. Best wishes.

Comments (18)Thanks, anzella. I’m pretty rapt with the outcome so far. I’ve only just done it. I still have to pretty it up with a few ornaments, fill and paint some gaps etc, but it’s getting there! I got so keen to see a glimpse of the end result I skipped a few bits! The big advantage is the faux wainscoting makes the whole hallway look decorated, as opposed to just one wall, or one little area. And a friend said it definitely makes the hall appear wider as well. (I was concerned it would close it in). The job really didn’t take that long, so don’t be too put off. I spent more time measuring and re-measuring and recalculating and triple checking the size of the wainscoting frames and the gaps than anything else. The trick is to make sure the gaps between the panels are all the same. Check out some how to’s on YouTube. I opted for quite wide (630mm) frames with a 270mm gap. This gives the illusion of more space; well, compared to the examples that have smaller frames and are only 100mm apart. I thought they looked a bit too ‘busy’. I was nervous about using the saw, but it turned out to be very easy. I still have all my digits! Liquid nails and a spirit level took care of the rest. I’d never worked with timber before, so if I can - you can too! I prepainted the timber before it was cut, and pre-assembled the frames prior to gluing them to the wall. And it wasn’t an expensive project either. Even the extras were cheapies. The narrow hall table is a Hayman from Fantastic Furniture $89, Target pot $39, Target rattan circle $20, Kmart hat rail $11 + about $15 for a couple of hats to throw on it. I‘ve seen a similar effect done without the timber chair rail or wainscoting - just with two paint colours. If that appeals to you, it‘s less work! Tbh, doesn’t have quite the same ‘wow’, but it’s nice n simple and it can work just fine. It still has the valuable effect of making the whole area look decorated/balanced. Maybe combine that (or go the faux wainscoting) with the great print layout in your pic. I’m sure it’d look great! And like I said, if I can do it, you can too! :-) Sing out if you’re thinking about doing anything similar and have any more Q’s. Wanna see something really scary? Check out what the hallway looked like before the floorboards and skylight! Big diff. Huge!...See MoreHow should we style our hallway?
Comments (16)I like Julie’s idea for multiple matching frames down the left side of your hallway. It could be just enough to draw your eye down the hallway, without changing the depth of the space (that adding a console table would do). I would suggest adding the artwork/photographs (at eye height) along the majority of the wall space (odd numbers look the best; 5, 7 or even 9 prints!) to invite your guests into and along the space. See how it looks with just the artwork added first, before deciding if you even need a console table as well. Good luck!...See More

last yearA larger vase with the olive branches or even magnolia stems, coffe table books to elevate your key bowl and a tray to hold your diffuser add a luxurious candle, could look lovely. Adding a touch of black to accessories will compliment the mirror, you could always hang if you think to low.

last yearHall table update. I'm thinking of getting larger mirror in that style or big round mirror with black frame. I think it looks better for now with the addition of ceramic lamp and branches in vase :)

last yearIf you wanted to change the mirror, Kmart have an 80cm black framed round mirror for $32, love your lamp. They also have this decorative cross bowl $15 , you could put your diffuser and candle on it, would balance table beautifully.

last yearNew mirror was hung with great difficulty haha! I like the simplicity of it and size seems to suit table more! I'm still trying out smaller decor, this is what I have settled with for now. The lamp emits a warm welcoming glow when I come home in the evening too.
