Welcome Home: Creating an Inviting Entryway

The front entry is your guests introduction to the interior of your home, it should invite people in and blend harmoniously with the exterior of the home. Design and layout are dependent on the space available - small or large do not underestimate the impact a beautiful front entry can have. The entryway or foyer area foreshadows your home’s style and should not be an afterthought, rather a carefully thought out space that says “welcome in”.

Furnishing the Space

When selecting furnishings for the space, it is of the utmost importance to consider scale. If you have a narrow hall-style entry, a thin console or bench will be more appropriate than a grand entry table. Furniture should not block the flow of traffic through the space, it should invite your guests to continue into your home.
