Choose the table

  1. Pick a slim console under 35 cm deep.
  2. Try a floating shelf for very narrow halls.
  3. Use a demilune table with rounded edges.

Style the top

  1. Hang a round mirror above the table.
  2. Add a small table lamp.
  3. Place a key bowl or tray.
  4. Use a vase with seasonal stems.
  5. Stack a couple of books for height.

Use the space below

  1. Slide a woven basket underneath.
  2. Add a pair of stools that tuck away.
  3. Lay a runner rug to lead the eye.

Tip: Fix consoles and mirrors securely to the wall, since a narrow table can tip if leaned on. Keep the walkway and door clear, and route lamp cords along the wall rather than across the floor.
