When you walk into a home, what is the first thing you notice? Often the experience is shaped by the point of entry. Whether it’s with a mirror placed in an entry hallway, a bench or artwork, creating an appealing point of entry can go a long way in making a positive first impression. The use of an entry console can create a subtle yet impacting look.
Glass: Glass consoles are ideal for areas where the entry may be small or narrow. Glass will help a smaller space feel more open without making it feel overwhelming or stuffed.
Narrow: Narrow consoles are perfect for long walls and entry hallways. If you have an especially long wall, a popular designer trick is to place identical consoles side by side to create the illusion of a single furniture piece. Artwork or mirrors above your console will help create a finished look.
Lacquer: Looking to create a sleek, modern look? Lacquer remains a popular finish and typically comes in matte and lacquer finishes.
Wood: Wood is versatile and an ideal material for timeless elegance. If you are looking for a more formal and elegant look, wood can help provide a luxurious feel. Conversely, if an industrial look is more your taste, wood can also be an attractive choice.
