8. Layered Woven Entryway Catch-All Table Console

Introduction

The entryway sets the tone for the entire home. Layering baskets beneath and on top of a narrow console table creates a clean, organized, drop-zone aesthetic.

What This Idea Means

A dual-layer approach featuring large floor baskets tucked under an open-base console table for footwear and accessories, complemented by a petite woven dish on the tabletop for keys.

What You Need

  • 2 large matching rectangular wicker floor baskets with open tops
  • 1 small shallow decorative coiled sweetgrass dish (5″–7″)
  • A slim entryway console table

How to Style & Create

  • Position the two large baskets symmetrically underneath the bottom shelf or open space beneath your console.
  • Designate one floor basket for seasonal accessories (scarves, hats) and the other for clean slippers or guest shoes.
  • Place the small sweetgrass dish right next to the lamp on the tabletop as an intentional landing pad for keys, loose coins, and sunglasses.

Pro Tips & Variations

  • Lidded Options: Use baskets with flat-fit lids if you prefer to hide everyday entryway clutter completely out of view.
  • Wall Hook Pairing: Mount a raw wood peg rail directly above the console and hang a single woven market bag holding fresh eucalyptus.
