Open shelving beneath a slim top provides a home for shoes, baskets, or décor. This design keeps everything visible and organized while maintaining a light presence. Perfect for shared entryways where every inch matters.
Mirrored console to expand light
A narrow console with mirrored surfaces reflects light, making hallways appear larger. Topped with a mirror on the wall, it enhances brightness and doubles the impression of space. Small vases or candles finish the airy look.
Multi-purpose narrow console
Some narrow consoles include hooks, shelves, or built-in storage cubbies. These hybrid pieces function as a drop zone for coats, bags, or shoes, turning a small corridor into a well-organized entry station. For other practical storage solutions, check the cabinets and chests collection.
