Entryways Decor & Inspirations

A home’s entryway is the first thing we see when step into a person’s home—or when they step into yours—and yet, they are often a neglected space when it comes time to design and furnishing your home. We’re here to inspire you to create a welcoming and stylish entryway for your home.

There are some things to consider when choosing pieces for your entryway, such as the size, and how functional you need it to be. For many people, the entryway becomes the place to collect shoes, school bags, keys, scarves, and all other items that immediately get shed when walking in the door. For this reason, thinking about needed organization is key.

One way to do this is to find the perfect storage solution for your space that will store away all of your belongings. The last thing you want is to have your visitors be greeted by a mess when they waking the door. If you don’t have a coat closet, or if it’s not big enough for all of the things you need to store, you can attach coat hooks to a wall or place a coat-rack with built in storage. In small entryways, choose furniture pieces, such as console tables and storage benches, that have a low profile.

If you have a small home with an open concept, you might have to get creative with furniture placement. One issue might be having a place to sit and take off your shoes. The placement of a small bench can offer the perfect solution. If the bench has storage, even better! It’s will be a truly functional piece in your entryway.

In addition to functional and eye-catching furniture, entryways are the perfect place to be a little bold with paint, wallpaper, or even a feature wall. Remember that you want to make an impression on your guests, so don’t be afraid to show some personality. When choosing colors, be bold, but also choose colors that complement the colors in the adjacent rooms.

Lastly, accessories will add the finishing touch to your home’s entryway. Your can do this by adding a mirror, a decorative lamp, and even a piece of art or a vase. One creative solution is hanging a mix of family photos and drawings on the walls.
