Beautiful skirted tables - inspiration for your entryway and foyer

The entryway in our house was one of the big selling points with its cathedral ceilings, curved staircase, and decorative wainscot trim. This traditional space is screaming for a stylish skirted table to drop your keys and place a cozy lamp.

We replaced the blue carpeting with white oak floors and replaced the wallpaper with a neutral wall color for a clean blank slate. I found a table base for $10 at an estate sale and have been searching for the perfect tablecloth skirt to bring some personality into this room.

My Pinterest page is filled with inspirational skirted table images and I am excited to share some of my favorites with you today!


Stylish Skirted Table Inspiration for Our Entryway

Skirted accent tables are perfect for the grandmillennial and cottagecore trends right now. Along with adding a softness to a room, skirted tables are great for hiding items too! Skirted accent tables work well with many relaxed designs including traditional, rustic, cottage, and farmhouse styles.

I have pinned this corner so many times because it is just so pretty! Shannon Claire uses this beautiful Lee Jofa chintz fabric for her table skirt with green bullion fringe detail on the bottom. If this fabric were in my budget, this would be in my entryway immediately!

You can’t go wrong with a classic striped pattern.

This striped tablecloth feels timeless and incredibly versatile, I love it!

In my opinion, floor-length tablecloths as nightstands should be used all the time to hide clutter and clear the mind before bed! The soft, flowy fabric sets a relaxed mood that every bedroom needs.

Have I convinced you to add a skirted table to your home yet?! I can’t wait to finish our entryway and share my own skirted table soon. Once it is complete I will be sure to share it here.

Foyer Update

Our foyer has undergone some updates and includes a beautiful skirted table! We changed the wall color from a neutral cream to a warm green color using Evergreen Fog. We also replaced the original light fixtures and replaced them with a modern, traditional chandelier and sconce.

Finally, I have my skirted table moment in the foyer to welcome guests! I was talking to an upholsterer doing some work at my home and mentioned that I would love a round table in the foyer. Coincidentally, she had another client who was looking to get rid of a skirted round table that was the perfect size for our home!

I got this beauty for free – my favorite price! What do you think?
