Give your entryway a makeover!
If there is one small room not to neglect when it comes to decoration, it is definitely the entryway of your apartment or house. Far more than just a passageway, the entryway marks the boundary between the outside world and the intimacy of your home. A kind of decompression zone before entering your home sweet home. The entryway is also the first room your guests see when they arrive at your home. And in decorating, as elsewhere, the first impression is essential.
At TIPTOE, we wanted to give you all the keys and tips to create a warm and welcoming entryway. So wipe your shoes on the doormat before stepping through the front door, and let yourself be inspired by the decorating ideas from the community !
The console, an essential element for a successful entryway
Narrow or spacious, closed or open, square or elongated: whatever its shape, the entryway sets the tone. For a well-designed entryway, choose a console table that will quietly hold your keys, mail and other decorative objects. Its slim shape is ideal for designing an entryway that opens onto the living room.
Designing the space to create an entryway
If, like Lola, you don’t have an entryway as such, simply place our solid oak LIMA console strategically against a wall, for example. Its clean-lined look and shallow depth help suggest this space and create an entryway where there wasn’t one. This way, she styles her open entryway onto the living room by adding decorative objects to her solid oak console.
Another way to define a dedicated space with a decorating tip: dare to use color in your entryway. Jules and Lucie chose dark, deep shades on the wall of their entryway. A bold option that adds character to their interior from the moment you step inside, reinforced by the originality of the TIPTOE table legs in colored powder-coated steel. Special mention for the sunflower yellow, which brightens up this old wooden tabletop and adds light to a narrow entryway.
A seat for putting on (and taking off) your shoes comfortably
To turn your entryway into a cosy space, choose seating that is as functional as it is aesthetic. Mission accomplished with ease by our DUKE benches in solid oak or reclaimed old wood. With their 43 cm high legs and their 150 kg weight capacity, they can welcome the whole family without batting an eyelid. Perfect for quickly slipping on your shoes!
We love the décor Léna has created with this small, finely striped cushion, ready to welcome you as you take off your shoes. An ode to comfort with effortless elegance that Audrey’s cat would certainly have approved of. Its owner chose to repurpose the DUKE bench as a display stand for her cacti. Careful, touch them and you might get pricked!
But an entryway doesn’t need to be spacious to feel welcoming. Lætitia would certainly agree. We love the cocoon of comfort and well-being she has created right from the entrance. Our LOU stool is topped with an ultra-soft oversized cushion whose warm shade brings warmth to this small entryway space. A decorating idea to embrace!

Match your table legs to the color of your plants, or opt for timeless white to add a soft touch to your entryway. Complete your layout by adding decorative objects such as vases, scented candles, frames or rugs.
How can you save space in an entryway?
Smart, practical storage
Beyond aesthetics, organizing an entryway makes it practical and functional. To keep everything in its place, opt for smart storage solutions on the floor and on the walls. Full of ingenuity, Myriam slipped beautiful woven baskets under her solid oak DUKE bench to store everything she didn’t want on display. She adds lovely cushions and a beautiful candle to her décor to create a warm atmosphere in her home.
Wall shelves to optimize space
For everything else, make use of the walls and let your imagination run free when it comes to decorating, while adding extra practicality too! Charlotte cleverly fitted wooden wall shelves into a recess in her entryway hallway using our BRACKET wall mounts. A smart storage solution to save space in your entryway and keep your belongings tidy!
Colorful, clever coat hooks
Ben chose to make a decorative feature out of a wall of coat hooks. Dressed in bright colors, our JO coat hooks are no longer just for hanging your coat when you come in, but add a real touch of brightness to his entryway design. Véronique, meanwhile, opted for the winning combination: pairing our BRACKET wall hooks with JO coat hooks for maximum space saving in her entryway hallway!
Part coat hooks, part decorative features, the JO coat hooks offer endless possibilities. Hang your jackets and coats, umbrellas or wicker baskets on them. These original wall hooks with a colorful look suit every decor style when designing an entryway.

Decorative furniture to design the space
Your entryway wouldn’t be complete without a personal touch of decor. Short on inspiration? Don’t worry, we’ve gathered plenty of decor ideas from photos shared by the TIPTOE community. At the editorial team, we fell in love with Emma’s entryway. A wall light for a cocooning effect, a basket and cushion with soft ethnic-inspired accents for a cozy feel, and a round XXL mirror for one last outfit check before leaving. The result? A perfectly styled entryway.
Wall decorations to fill the walls
Another entryway, another atmosphere: Virginie’s, where she has created her rustic office corner. The character of old wood is complemented by the soft pastel colors of her prints. A gently styled decor combination for a calm space where you feel good. Beautiful wall decorations complete this desk area, dressing the walls of her entryway.
Plants to naturally decorate the entryway
When it comes to greenery, lushness is the order of the day. And the LOU stool is perfectly suited to its role as a plant stand in Jeanne’s home. By turns a movable seat, coffee table or storage piece, it still has plenty to offer! There are countless decor ideas for designing your entryway hallway with our stool and its many available colors.
In short, at TIPTOE, we recommend not limiting yourself when designing your entryway. Comfortable seating, organized storage, thoughtful decor: the goal is practical style! Every idea is possible and achievable with TIPTOE furniture.
