First Impressions
A slim table is all you need to make an entry out
o f a hallway. Add a light source and artw ork and
you’ve got a winning (and welcom ing) form ula.

Curved
Table
Any table or chest
that’s at least
30
"
tall and no more
than
18
" deep
leaves room for
traffic in an entry.
A curved, or
demilune, table is
especially good for
tight spaces
because there are
no hard corners
jutting into the
walkway.
BRIGHT IDEA
A plug-in picture
lamp (no hard-
wiring required)
illuminates a
framed memo
board. Hang
8
"xio"
photos in a grid for
a gallery effect.
PUT IN PLACE
Poach a condiment
tray from your
kitchen to contain
keys and change.
HANG IN THERE
No coat closet? Pull
in a sturdy, wide-
legged coat rack.
