Let’s Put Together a Modern Entryway

Let’s play a little game. I want to know which hook or rack, mirror, and console table you like together, and then I’ll show you what I’d choose!

  1. * Eames Hang-it-All
  2. * Rolly Console Table
  3. Splash Coat Rack
  4. Cubix Mirror
  5. Round Mango Wood Mirror
  6. Stockholm Sofa Table
  7. Wallter Slat Rack
  8. B&W Wall Hook
  9. Peekaboo Console Table
  10. * Blackened Metal Mirror
  11. Strut Console Table

* I love numbers 1, 2, and 10 together. (I also like 6, 8, and 10 a lot.) What about you?

    11, 10 and 7, but then again I love color!

    1. Nicole Avatar

      Me too! I love the colors, but also the lines and how they compliment each other!

  2. Marianne Avatar

    I chose 1, 2, and 10 as well! Funny.

    1. Jules Avatar

      Me, too! I always liked the Hang It All with more traditional pieces.

    love the rolly console table and have lusted after eames for decades. I actually was drawn to the vintage wood carved mirror from ‘related posts’… but that’s not really modern, is it? can’t wait to see the finished entryway.

    Love the hang-it-all! 1, 11 and 4.

  5. Desiree Fawn Avatar

    Hmm… I think 6, 7, 10 would be my choices. That green is SO rad <3

    I’d love to have 2. My entryway into my apartment is really awkward because it’s narrow and there are three doors that come off of it immediately. Stuff just gets piled on the floor. I love that 2 is really short and narrow, so it would fit in the space. 11 is also cute, but I tend to lean towards wooden things :)

    I would do:
    1 – 5 + 5 – 11

    or 1 – 4 – 11

    I’d pick 5, 8 and 11. I really love round mirrors.

    I’m going with 5, 6, and 7. I love the Eames Hang-it-all, but I really like that slat rack very much.

    It was a tough choice, but I’m thinking I’d choose 11, 5, and 8! Loving all of the options.

  11. Catherine Avatar

    5, 8 (x3) & 11

    Fun! This should be a regular feature!

  12. Making it Lovely Avatar

    This is fun! I love everyone’s combinations. You really can’t go wrong with any three!

  13. Angie M. Avatar

    I like 10, 11, and 8. I like the clean lines, the punch of color, and a slightly more traditional twist.

    Will you continue to do the Making it Yours series? It’s one of my favorite features of your site. I was disappointed when DesignSponge started “Make it Yours” – it seems like encroachment!

    1. Making it Lovely Avatar

      Yes, I’ll continue the MiY series! They just take a lot of time to put together, and things have been hectic around here! Now that August is moving past the early newborn stage, I may start to have more time again.

    11 and 7 for sure, but I think I’d want maybe a vintagey mirror frame around a rectangular mirror. No idea, really, but I love 11 to death.

    I love 6, 8, and 10. Classic with some quirk. What a fun post!

  17. Kate Avatar

    I’d choose 5, 8, and 11 — black and white and a pop of that watermelon color would look great!

    6+7 or 8+11

    the coat rack in number 1 is over done. every one has that rack. laaame.

  19. annabelvita Avatar

    Hahaha, I chose exactly the same ones as you! I also love coatrack 3

  20. Noni Avatar

    #s 2, 3, and 10 for me! :o)

  21. Loren Avatar

    For my current entry I’d go 1,2,10.
    But if I had a different/bigger space I absolutely love #11-7-10
    Or 9-3-10

  22. Heidi Avatar

    5, 6, 8, baby! (Though 1 is a close call.)

  23. Leanna Avatar

    1, 2 & 10 were my choices too :) I love that console!

    1, 10 and 11 for me.

    I’d choose 1, 5, 6. I love the hooks and would hope the bright colors would encourage my kids to use them. I like the long narrow table (and really like strut table but that’s *too* much color for my space). The round mirror is just enough to see that I don’t have lipstick on my teeth, not so much that I get a view of myself hauling in groceries.

    This is fun, let’s play again!

    love that pink console table! what a happy piece.

  32. mariana Avatar

    I would go with 2,7 and 10.

  33. rhiannon Avatar

    none– all a bit too modern for me.

  34. Anne @ itsabaltimorelife Avatar

    I say 5, 8 and 11…i like stripe with the reddish console table and the round mirror brings it all together!

    funny, i have the slat rack (7) in orange and the anthro hook (8) in my entryway: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v168/k8ejane/coatrackhook.jpg

    however it’s just a cheapy ikea molger bench underneath them, but it fits best..

  38. amyks Avatar
    amyks

    I like 1, 5, 11…or 2,5 & 7. I agree that the Eames hang it all is overplayed, but using it with the red console ties the colors together. Now we just need to see some rug choices:)

  44. laurenjanelle Avatar

    I like the lines of 11 but I’d change the color of it.

  45. Wrenaria Avatar

    4, 6, and 8… or 2, 10, and 8.

  46. Carla Avatar

    So many good options! I think I’d pick 1, 4, 11

  47. Kasey Avatar

    I’m all about color, so I’d put #1 rack with #4 mirror over #11 table.

  48. Dacia Avatar

    I would go with 5, 8, and 11. I love the pop of bring pink that the console table gives and then I’d stick with a black and white theme for everything else!

  49. Jojo Avatar

    i’d go 1, 2 & 10 OR 7, 6 & 10
    I want them all.

  55. Giulia Avatar

    I think 5, 8, 11 would look lovely. A nice pop of red and a stripe…

    I would choose 8, 10, and 11 fun! Plus I love that Ikea mirror! I have it above my sink so it could be re purposed in the next place where I might actually have an entryway.

    PS….If you ever get bored I would love to see some more mood boards of living rooms. We got a new couch and I would love to pick your brain for ideas.

  65. Heidi S Avatar

    I’ve been debating between 1 & 8 for over a year now and I did spec #8 for a bathroom I’m working on. I also love 2 but unfortunately I don’t think it would fit in my front hall.:(

  68. jen {fuzzy sushi} Avatar

    I would LOVE 2, 7 and 5 together if that mirror had a different finish on the frame. So, maybe 2, 7 and 10…? I am totally in love with that coat rack.

  69. marichucky Avatar

    I love 6 and 7 with either 5 or 10. And I have to say 3 is lovely, though 7 is awesome!

  70. Rebecca Avatar

    I love the vibe that 1, 9 and 10 create. Nicely curated!

  82. Rebecca Avatar

    I’m going with either 5, 6 and 8 or 5, 8, and 11….either way I think I would want to take the console table a good navy color.
