Add an Antique Hall Tree to Your Entryway

An antique hall tree is a welcome addition to any entryway. Not only does it brighten the entryway with its beautiful handcrafted Victorian design, but also makes it easy to organize coats and scarves or hats, shoes and boots, as well as keys and other belongings in one spot. It is one of the best ways to make guests feel at home when they enter your house.

Antique hall trees can be very simple, consisting of a central pole with hooks or very elaborate in the style of a Victorian antique furniture piece. They can have a mirror, bench seat, shelves and hooks for hats, scarves and gloves. Some even have a shoe compartment, which eliminates the need for extra storage in your closet or under the staircase. If you have an entryway with limited space, you can choose a wall-mounted antique hall tree. This is especially practical for tight spaces or rooms with low ceilings, where a larger stand would not fit.

Besides the traditional antique hall trees that you can find at Grandview, you can also shop for more modern hall tree designs with a bench seat and a wide storage compartment. This stylish design has two tiers of bottom shelves to store shoes, a mirror for checking out your outfit before you leave the house and a wide padded bench seat where you can sit down and put on your shoes. Its flat construction allows it to fit snugly against the wall, so you can save space and still get your shoes on easily. It also requires less sweeping underneath it than the curved construction of an antique sleigh-style hall tree with bench and a shoe compartment under the coat rack.

Another modern hall tree design is this elegant and spacious one, which has four rounded hooks for hats and a wide top shelf to store other accessories. Behind the mirror is a bench seat that lifts to reveal hidden storage underneath. The bench can be upholstered in fabric or leather to match your other entryway furniture pieces.

There are plenty of other ways to add an antique touch to your home, such as a vintage corner cupboard or a rustic entryway table. For a more elegant look, you can also try an antique sleigh-style hall tree or a classic wooden hutch. If you have a large foyer, you can even choose a tall carved antique oak hall tree with a rectangular mirror and an armed bench seat that lifts to reveal a storage area.
