8. Small but grand trio. Smaller versions of the foyer table can still look grand. The key is to not clutter them up with lots of small items. Styling tip: Choose two large pieces to fill most of the space (like the horse sculpture and potted plant shown here), and place a third, smaller item (like a candle or small tray for mail) in front.Tell us: Do you have a round table in the foyer — or somewhere else in the house? How do you decorate it?More:Give That Coffee Table an Extra Shot of StyleBrowse vases and more in the Houzz Shop section
7. Floor-length tablecloth, lamp and books. A smaller round table also works well in the living room when topped with a floor-length cloth, a lamp and books. And remember, that floor-length cloth is the perfect cover for some hidden storage, making it a smart choice for small spaces. Cleaning tip: To easily wipe up spilled drinks, have a round glass top cut to fit your table and place it over the tablecloth.
3. Vase, books and stools. Another option is to use a large vase in the center of the table and keep it filled with fresh flowers or cut branches. Arrange stacks of books like spokes of a wheel around the vase, as before. Finish by tucking a pair of stools beneath the table — quite helpful for perching on to browse the books or put on and take off shoes.
1. Cluster of vases. Find three to five vases of varied heights that go together — they don’t need to be identical, but they often work best when they are the same material or color (for example, all blue or all glass). Styling tip: Place the tallest vase in the center and cluster the others around it, working from tallest to smallest; fill the vases with seasonal blooms or cut branches. For ambience, scatter a few tea lights around the vases.

Add a welcoming rug. This is an area that gets a lot of traffic, so an inexpensive outdoor rug can be a good choice. A lot of these rugs stand up to dirt and literally can be hosed down. Another detail I love in this hallway is the porcelain umbrella stand full of walking canes. You can substitute walking sticks you find on hikes for the canes. You may already have a cute cylindrical wastepaper basket around that can fill in as an umbrella stand.
