Entryways can be fun spaces to decorate and make a statement. Even a small entryway can create a great impression when designed well. With a few thoughtful touches, you will wow your guests as they walk into your home. Is your entryway a little drab? Read our helpful tips for creating an entryway that impresses everyone.
A Bold Rug
Rugs collect natural debris from shoes (dirt, leaves, etc.) so your guests don’t track it through your home. A great rug can pull the entryway together and establish a theme for your entire home.
Choose a rug with colors that you like and complement your interior design. When in doubt, drop down a rug with neutral tones like gray, beige, or white. Combine a runner with a small circular rug at the doorway, or go big with a large rug if you have the room.
A Statement Piece
Statement pieces draw the attention of guests because they are noticeable. Some statement pieces for your entryway include the following:
- Artwork
- Large mirror
- Large clock
- Ornate furniture
Beautiful Lighting
Lighting can change the vibe of your entryway if you do it well. You can have some fun and try something dazzling in a way that you can’t in other areas of the home!
Chandeliers have a long history of artistry, glamor, and beauty. The entryway is the perfect place to install a chandelier, even in a small house. They come in many sizes and styles, but they all make a big impact with dangling accessories and bright lights. Consider a funky chandelier to brighten up your entryway and make the space look interesting.
Fresh Flowers
Never underestimate the power of a bouquet of flowers on a side table or other piece of furniture. Flowers can make anything look lovely. Change your flowers with the seasons. You can create a cozy home atmosphere for the holidays by starting in the entryway. Swap out those roses for holly and berries.
Don’t Forget the Stairs
In many homes, the stairs are the first thing anyone sees from the entryway. If that is the case in your home, then make the stairs the star of the show! Consider painting them black and white for a bold contrast or add fun designs for something unique.
Creating an impressive entryway gives your home a facelift and sets up the theme for the rest of the house.
