Welcome family and friends into your home with a decorated foyer. Reveal an inviting entry when the door opens, setting the tone for the rest of the house. Creating this important first impression is easy when starting from the floor and moving up. With a few key home dcor items, a foyer transforms from blas to beautiful. Does this Spark an idea?
Floor to Ceiling
Polish the tile or hardwood to a high shine or gloss. Carpeted foyers should be vacuumed regularly and remain spot free. Complement flooring with a colorful carpet runner for the entry floor. Invest in a timeless oriental rug for years of durability and function. Choose a ceiling light fixture based on design and the size of the foyer. Use low wattage light bulbs for a warm ambiance.
Furnish to Scale
Add a piece of furniture based on the size of the foyer. Hug the wall with an entry table embellished with a crystal vase of silk or fresh flowers, candles, decorative lamps or holiday decor.
Wall Art
Hang a painting, mirror or tapestry on the wall if the foyer is wide enough. Iron wrought sconces holding safe flameless candles greet guests with a glowing welcome. Even the tiniest of foyers can be kicked up a notch with decorative light switch covers.
