Your foyer is the first thing guests see when they enter your home and can be a great opportunity to capture their attention. It truly sets the tone for your entire home, so it should not be overlooked. Whether your home has a grand foyer or a cozy quaint space, you can make it so beautiful that you\u2019ll find yourself using the front door more often!
\nTo soften the space, add some upholstered seating. For a smaller space, a settee is the perfect piece of furniture to welcome you home. Their petite size gives them instant character and they fill up a little nook nicely. For a larger space, maximize seating as best you can. A large foyer truly is an additional room in a home and, if there is a comfortable space to visit, it can become a great space for guests to congregate during a party.<\/p>\n

Every entryway needs at least one table. In a small entryway, a chest or console against a wall is ideal- this is a great spot for a lamp and a couple accessories that you love. For large foyers, there is nothing more timeless than a round table in the center of the room. Go a little more minimalistic with your accessories on this- one stunning bowl or floral makes a strong statement.<\/p>\n

Pick a chandelier that defines your home\u2019s style. Chandeliers are jewelry in the home and the entryway chandelier can and should have a little drama! They are a great first conversation piece when a guest enters your home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be afraid to use a little color! No matter what their size, a foyer is never the biggest room in a home so it\u2019s a great opportunity for bold, thoughtful use of color. This can be achieved either with a beautiful wall color or wallpaper, bright upholstery pieces or throw pillows, or a magnificent piece of artwork. Even a boldly painted door can be very impactful.<\/p>\n
