Your entryway table is your home’s chance to make a first impression. Ensure that your space feels warm and inviting from the get-go by setting out a vase full of flowers where visitors are sure to admire it. The entryway is always a nice place to showcase seasonal florals too. In the winter, fill a vase with evergreen clippings; in the spring, place tulips inside.

Even when empty, vases can look quite artful when arranged alongside books and decorative objects. If you don’t have fresh flowers on hand at all times, that’s no problem, particularly if you appreciate a minimalist look. Antique-looking jugs like these are pretty popular at the moment, and you can find some beautiful handmade options for sale.
