Whether you're a fan of minimalism or have the perfect theme mastered to express your personality, there's one place that many designers often overlook: the entryway. Since this space sets the tone of your home, make an impression with style from the moment your guests step through the front door. Entrance tables are a great way to organize your necessities, declutter, and decorate with your favorite accent pieces to welcome you home. We caught up with celebrity interior designer Ariel Okin to learn the expert's tips on styling a chic entryway.

Whether your style is traditional, feminine, modern, or anything in between, get inspired with these entry table décor ideas to transform your space.

01 Incorporate a Touch of Greenery

Plant parents, take note: Placing plants and leaf cuttings on your entry table adds an organic element to the space. To balance out the height of tall greenery, add smaller decorations like this rustic bowl and a short stack of books. "Living things always make a house feel like a home—they are a thoughtful gesture that shows someone lives here," says Okin.

02 Hang a Mirror

"Everyone likes to get one last glance in before heading out the door," Okin says. "Plus, mirrors reflect light and make a space feel bigger." Classic round mirrors add an element of class with a modern flair, while larger square mirrors are better for those last-minute style checks (and selfies, of course). Let the mirror shine and keep everything else simple: Matching table lamps, a curated stack of books, and other small decorative items make perfect complements for the star of the space.

03 Get Glamorous

Make the most of a small space with an entryway table made of clear materials like glass. Decorate it with an elegant lamp, a few small plants, and a traditional mirror to keep the vignette simple. "Lucite and acrylic tables disappear wherever you put them," Okin says. "If you're trying to create the illusion of more space, they're always a good bet in that scenario."

While it's easy to get lost in the architecture of this stunning space, a large piece of wall art draws the eye further into the room—making this entryway as inviting as it is stylish. Bold, dark tones in the painting contrast neutral tones, while the entry table perfectly matches the home's front door and trim. A simple addition of white vases keeps the space looking clean and modern without feeling bare.

08 Go Full Maximalist

Maximalists, rejoice: The entryway is an excellent place to design your favorite pieces in style. "Be judicious in what you choose, but if you love all the pieces, it will show," Okin says. "Your personality will also shine through the assortment. I always prefer a tiny bit of kitsch!" Use your entry table to prominently display your most treasured items, and balance different shapes and sizes to tie the look together.
