How to Decorate a Foyer or Entry Way

Home decorating is most important when you are designing a foyer or entry way. A first impression makes a statement, and a foyer is the first part of your home that someone will see. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

1

Aim to decorate your foyer in a way that welcomes family and friends to your home. The entry way is not usually a big area, but it can make a huge impact. You want the first impression that people receive to be a positive one. Since foyers are not usually large in size and they often don't receive much natural light, you want to paint the walls a lighter and softer neutral shade.

2

Use minimal accessories in a foyer because the space is often used as a staging ground before entering another room. You don't want this space to appear crowded or cluttered. A large mirror that has been mounted on the wall is a good way to increase the appearance of the space.

3

If your foyer is large enough to provide a small sitting area, be sure to place your chairs against the opposing walls. You can add a small accent table between the chairs, but keep everything close to the walls. That way, you will still have plenty of room for arriving guests.
