Enhancing your entryway

Your house's entryway is the first and last impression your guests will have of your home, which is why it is so important to ensure that it is as stylish as it is functional for you and your family's daily needs. It sets the tone for the rest of your home, whether it is dark and dreary, or cluttered and chaotic. To avoid letting your foyer give your guests a bad impression about your home, here are a few suggestions on how to redesign and enhance your space:

  • Soft lighting: While this is an important facet for any entryway, it is especially vital if your space lacks key natural lighting. Though overhead lighting is important, add decorative lamps that give off a calming light, which will also provide an extra subtle pop of color or design. 
  • Quality hutch: Whether you have a smaller space and decide to buy a simple, small table on which to place your keys and other accessories, or a larger area in which to place a stylish hutch with plenty of storage, either is a must for your foyer. On your table or hutch you can set your light source, along with any organizational accessories to keep you from misplacing your keys or other necessary items.
  • Eye-catching mirror: If you are blessed with having a window or light source in your entryway, try to maximize its effect through hanging a mirror to catch the light, which will make your entire space more bright and cheery. Mirrors with light colored frames further accentuate this feature.
