First impressions matter, and more often than not, home entryways are an afterthought. Whether you’re working with a large foyer or a small space, this is the area you see first when you enter your home, so it should set the tone for the rest of your home and reflect your personal style. Here are some designer tips on how to begin thinking creatively about your entryway becoming the welcoming space you and your guests will love! Smashing!
Is the first thing you visually encounter a stairway?
It's all about architecture. If your entryway already boasts architectural interest, whether it be custom millwork, oversized windows, or a stylish staircase, the effort of designing an aesthetically pleasing space should be a cinch. “Entryways with architectural merit are often a piece of art in themselves,” Keep your furnishings minimal and focus on little details like a chic mirror to let your home’s design shine.
Do you love something special in your home? Start with that. Knowing where to start when designing this space can be overwhelming. Choose an element that speaks to you. “Start with something you love, like a certain color, a bold accessory, or a cherished piece of art, and curate your space around that element.” “Using something that you’re drawn to can be a good starting point for you and allows the space to make a statement about yourself without ever commenting on it.”
Make your entryway glow with warmth. To create an inviting and warm entryway that draws you in like a warm embrace, add elements such as fresh flowers, a warm rug, an attractive table lamp, or a chandelier for extra shine. A well-designed foyer can evoke an immediate emotional response.
Think about it from every vantage point. It’s all about the view. always design your entryway from every viewpoint. Consider what you see on the way out as just as important as what you experience on the way in. It’s this lasting impression that stays with you. And you only get one chance to make a First Impression!
