Hallway furniture arrangement: Stacey Dooley's unconventional choice of a side table, while unexpected, gains my approval entirely
In the world of interior design, having a side table in a hallway can offer both functional and aesthetic benefits. It provides a convenient surface for placing keys, mail, or decorative items, helping keep the space organized and welcoming. Additionally, it can enhance narrow corridors by offering storage or display options without taking up too much space [1][2].
For those seeking stylish and budget-friendly options, several choices are available. Slim console tables (~80–90 cm wide) that fit well in narrow hallways with sleek designs are perfect for modern or minimalistic looks [1]. Console tables made of solid wood or steel that offer multiple tiers for storage and display combine durability and style. For instance, the Aisha Console Table (steel frame with three tiers) priced around $199 provides modern industrial appeal and functionality [3].
If you're after a rustic charm, wooden farmhouse style sofa tables with multiple tiers and storage, priced under $170, might be just what you need [5]. For those who prefer a more contemporary accent, modern gold console tables with geometric bases, priced around $119, bring an elegant touch without breaking the bank [5].
Many of these tables come with assembly required but are designed to maximize utility in entryways and hallways while complementing various interior styles from industrial and modern to rustic and organic [2][3][5]. Choosing a console table with integrated shelves or drawers also helps keep clutter out of sight, enhancing hallway neatness and style on a budget.
The 'eclectic home' decor trend is currently attracting over 24 times more searches on Pinterest. This trend is reflected in Stacey Dooley's home, as seen in her recent Instagram posts. One of her shared snaps features the &tradition Shuffle table, a popular trend in its own right, currently available at Holloways of Ludlow with a 15% discount, priced at £412.25 [4].
The totem side table, similar to the one seen in Stacey's post, can inject drama into an often overlooked space. When placed in a Victorian home, it creates contrast and charm. For instance, when placed in a narrow hallway, it serves as a smart solution, offering both functionality and style [6].
If you're inspired by Stacey Dooley's home and are looking for more options, the Zara Home x Collagerie collaboration offers a side table with a design similar to Stacey's, though not identical. Habitat's new autumn/winter collection includes a super chic large-bobbin side table made from solid wood, priced at £45 [7].
