When it comes to decorating your home, it’s important not to forget your entryway. Stepping into your home should be a pleasant experience and should inspire you and your guests each time they walk through your door.
Here are a few tips on how to create a beautiful vignette for your entryway that will greet your guests in style:
- FLOORING: A beautiful area rug placed inside the entrance of your door adds colour, texture, and warmth.
- ARTWORK: Add a bold print or painting to create interest to your walls. This can also be a great introduction to the colour scheme used throughout the rest of your home.
- MIRRORS: Using mirrors can visually open up a narrow entryway as well as reflect light for a brighter space.
- MULTIFUNCTIONAL FURNITURE: Console tables can double as a place to display your favourite accessories, such as books and photos, and can provide storage for small items, such as keys and mail.
- LIGHTING: In addition to lighting your entryway, introducing a beautiful chandelier will definitely make a grand statement.
- SEATING: Carve out a spot for you and your guests to take off their shoes when entering your home by adding a bench or a chair near your front door.
So, whether you have a grand entryway or just a small corner of the residence, think of your entryway as its own little room. It’s the first area of your home your guests will see, and it gives them a little taste of what’s to come so go all out – here’s your chance to really make a statement and reflect your style and creativity!
