Tables in the hallway: varieties, choices and interesting examples

In the design of the corridor, the table is much less common with a headset, a freestanding cabinet, shelf or chest of drawers. Sometimes the space includes a telephone table, often not the most convenient to use. If the table in the hallway became a necessity (even if it was a necessity for decorative purposes), then the choice will be definitely interesting.

The entrance hall with a table may look cluttered and ridiculous, and can impress with sophistication and style. The point is in the table itself - whether the option is convenient, how much it fits into the mood of the room, what its dimensions are, what it serves for, whether it repeats the function of another object located in the hallway.

Furniture items may be as follows.

• Wall-mounted table (console) - This is the most popular option. A narrow table is set against the wall, on it you can store cosmetics, various little things like keys, beautiful air fresheners and more.

• Suspension - such a table resembles a wide shelf, but still its dimensions and functions suggest that it is a table.

• Dressing - a full-fledged piece of furniture, complete with a mirror.

• Telephone - a small table, which serves as a stand for the phone, notebook.

There are corner constructions, with and without a single seat, with a mirror and without a mirror. There are forged tables, but serious requirements are put forward for them, because the element should merge with the interior of the hallway, and not become an alien component. There may be elegant semicircular tables in the corridor or hallway. There are many options, but first you need to decide on the tasks of including this furniture element in the interior.

This is an absolute hit to date. The console is called small-sized furniture, certainly with a narrow tabletop, fixed to the wall. A narrow table can stand on one or two legs, but traditional table options with four legs are also common. They don’t actually sit at such a table: it’s unlikely that they can work at it, write, or sit at a computer — the tabletop is rather narrow. But there is no such goal from the very beginning. This is furniture that makes the hallway space beautiful, concise, organized.

Console tables are made of:

• a tree;
• glass;
• metal;
• plastic;
• stone.

Wooden structures are by far the most popular. And although such interesting solutions came from Western interiors, they look ideal in typical Soviet apartments. Small halls with us are often quite irrationally furnished: bulky furniture, the desire to fit everything that is possible in the closets, a not very competent approach to storing shoes - all together leads to the absence of good looking hallways.

The console table is the choice for a modest hallway of a modest footage. When there are cabinets on such a small area, it looks depressing. A matter of taste, but the rare owner will not appreciate the space, openness and light in the hallway. In almost every apartment, it can be equipped so that it does not become a base for storing all outer clothing in the house.

In the confined space, the console table and the mirror above it (or the picture) look more convincing, elegant than the same chest of drawers or a too wide coffee table. Try this concept: in the hallway there is only an open hanger, a shelf for shoes, a bench or a bench, a console table with a mirror or a decorative panel, a picture above it. And not a single cabinet.

This decision is usually made by people who lack space in another room to equip such a zone. For example, a family lives in a “kopeck piece”, one room is a living room, the other is a nursery. Where a woman put a dressing table is unclear. And the hallway comes to the rescue. If it is not very tiny, and even square in shape - this is a great option. The table will not clutter up the space and make the hallway more functional.

What you need to equip a dressing table in the hallway:

• the most lit wall - since there are no windows in the hallway, in most cases the choice falls on the wall opposite the wide interior doors;
• selection of quality artificial lighting - the area where a woman makes a make-up, dries her hair, preens herself, should be with optimal light;
• roll call design - the dressing table should not look alien in the interior, there should be something in the hallway that in color and stylistically echoes the table.

If you ask a question to several experts, which interior will be the most fashionable, stylish and beautiful, their answers will converge in one - such an interior will be a dwelling with an individual handwriting of the owner. In this interior there is a place for humor, as well as for those things that the owner of the apartment loves.

If in the hall you will have a table made by yourself, this will be a great solution. Below are a few ideas to help wake up the fantasy.

• Old suitcase. If you have an old good-quality suitcase, which can be called a vintage little thing, it can become a table. And it is not necessary to attach legs to it - it will be a pendant narrow design for keys, which is fixed to the wall at a distance of 10-40 cm from the floor. You can strengthen the countertop with a glass or wooden shelf.

• Old newspaper table. You simply take an old and unfashionable coffee table (possibly of Soviet times), degrease, clean and seal with textured newspapers, the pages of which can be printed from the Internet. And then varnish, it is possible that craquelure. The updated table will be the highlight of the hallway, no one will recognize in it an old-fashioned thing.

• Table with ceramic tiles. An old table is taken with an already ugly surface, generally far from presentability. But if the design itself is solid and interesting in shape, the table can be repainted in white. After it dries, from the fragments of ceramic tiles on it you can lay an unusual countertop. If necessary, the table is varnished.

• A table of pallets. Wooden pallets are dozens of interesting interior solutions. From them you can make interesting racks and no less cute tables. You can paint the pallets, you can simply varnish.
