Entryway Decor

The entry is the smallest room in most homes and the one that sets the tone for everything beyond it — the objects placed there determine whether the space reads as considered or overlooked. At Lulu and Georgia, the entryway decor collection brings together entry mirrors, wall hooks and coat racks, decorative trays and bowls for keys and mail, and accent objects chosen for their ability to make a small foyer feel designed rather than functional-only.

What entryway decor does Lulu and Georgia carry?

The collection includes entry mirrors in round, arched, and rectangular forms suited for entryway wall installation, wall hooks and coat racks in wood and metal for functional and decorative use, decorative trays and catchall bowls for organizing everyday objects, table lamps scaled for console table use, and decorative objects including vases, vessels, and small sculptures that work in the entry's limited visual real estate. Most pieces are chosen for their ability to function in a small, high-traffic space.

What is the best mirror size for an entryway?

For a console table mirror, the mirror should be approximately two-thirds the width of the console — on a 48-inch console, a 30-32 inch mirror. For a full entryway wall mirror without a console, a larger mirror in the 36-48 inch range creates a stronger visual anchor and makes the entry appear larger. Height matters more than width in small entries: a tall narrow mirror in a tight entry is more effective than a wide short one. Hang the mirror so its center is at approximately 57-60 inches from the floor — standard eye level.

How do I decorate a small entryway?

In a small entry, restraint is more effective than filling the space. Start with one functional anchor piece — a console table or bench — and add one large mirror to expand the visual space. Add a lamp for warm light (natural light is usually minimal in an entry). Place a tray for keys and mail, a small plant or vase for life, and one object that reflects the home's aesthetic. Hooks on the wall handle coats and bags without requiring floor space. Everything else competes with the space rather than contributing to it.
