Are you a beach lover who wants to bring a little bit of the seaside to your home? If you are, one of the best ways to achieve this is by adding a coastal-themed accent to your entryway table.
After all, it’s the first thing that people see when they walk into your home.
Since we moved to our beach home last year, I’ve been finding small ways to incorporate coastal accents in my home without being overly beachy. While I love coastal style with muted colors and wood tones, I don’t love turquoise beach decor.
While any coastal style is your personal preference, here are some ideas that you can use as inspiration or even copy!
Coastal Entryway Tips to Get Started
A beachy entryway table can add a welcoming and calming atmosphere to your space, welcoming you and your guests with a refreshing vacation vibe.
But the entryway doesn’t just start with all the knick knacks on the table. You need a couple standard pieces to get you started:
White Board and Batten
When it comes to creating a perfect coastal vibe for your interior and entryway, board and batten walls can offer just the right touch of charm and texture.
This classic technique not only visually expands smaller spaces, but also adds an inviting texture that perfectly complements the beachy vibes of a coastal interior and entryway. The white hue of the board and batten also reflects the natural light, making the space feel brighter and more open.
Whether you prefer the traditional crisp white boards or opt for a breezy, muted blue, the choice is yours to infuse your own personal style. Not only does the board and batten look great, it’s also practical and durable, making it an excellent addition for high-traffic areas.
Give your home a stylish upgrade with board and batten and add the laid-back coastal feel you’ve been dreaming of.
Natural Wooden Entryway Table
Welcome guests to your coastal-themed home with a natural wooden entryway table. The light wood finish adds warmth and enhances the airy, beachy feeling of your interior design.
One of my favorite home purchases was the Everett Foyer Table from World Market. You’ll see this table used in many of the ideas down below.
This versatile table is perfect for displaying seashells, framed photos, or a vase full of sea grasses. Not only does it offer a functional space to drop keys and mail, but it also sets the tone for your home’s style the moment you walk in the door.
I change out this Everett table every season and it looks amazing with any type of holiday or seasonal decor. You won’t regret this purchase!
The World Market Everett Table is quite long, measuring just under 6 feet long. However, if you don’t have that much space in your entryway, they have a shorter version that is just as beautiful.

The light neutral of rattan accents always give off a coastal look. Remember, you don’t need seashells and turquoise to be beachy anymore!
Seashell Shadow Box
You can collect and display different seashells in a shadow box and set it up on your entryway table for an eye-catching effect.
Coastal Shelf
A coastal-themed shelf acts as an extension to your entryway table, and it offers a horizontal surface to display beachy decor.
All in all, natural and beachy coastal decor is soothing, and it gives your home an inviting coastal vibe.
So, whether you want to create a beachy theme using vintage entryway tables, painting your console blue, or finding the perfect seashell shadow box for your entryway table – it’s a quick and easy way to add a fresh, warm, and relaxing beach-inspired feel to your home.
