A table at the entrance to your home: 15 furnishing ideas
First impressions are critical. And entering a new home for the first time is not exempt from this rule. Given this, it is important that our home creates the best possible first impression on our guests. And you don't necessarily have to go overboard doing this: just a small table, strategically place, can suffice.
Take a look at the ideas below to see how many ways a table can enhance your home.
