You know what they say about first impressions.
Entryway design sets the tone for what’s to come in the rest of the house so it’s important to make sure to make the space both inviting and functional.
In my 100 year old house, I’m lucky to have a front entrance vestibule that is separated from the foyer by an old French door which gives me not only more space, but more to decorate!
Some of my must haves for my entryway …
Add drama to this pass through area with a bold paint color or fun wallpaper.
If space allows, a small chair is a great place to remove muddy shoes or sit while sorting the mail.
Every entry needs a place to hang your coat. A few hooks are all you need if you’re short on space or add a standing coat rack if wall space is limited.
Another entry must have is a mirror – the perfect place to do a last minute once over before you head out the door.
A place to throw your keys when you walk through the door is important and I like to have a small bowl or tray sitting on the table.
Inject some personality into your entry by displaying a favorite collection like my thrift store green glass vases.
A space saving shelving unit makes the perfect display space but I’m on the hunt for a mirrored console table to add a bit of glam to this space.
