Making a Great Entrance

Have you heard the saying,” You never get a second chance to make an excellent first impression.” by Will Rogers? The same is true for your foyer. Similarly, making a grand entrance says something about what’s to come inside your home.

A Place to Make a Bold Statement and Entrance

Do you come home each day and breeze through your foyer? Creating a grand entrance may give you pause to linger and enjoy your surroundings; however, if the area is just a place to throw your keys down and hang your coat. You can still make it memorable for yourself and your guests. A few suggestions are updating the lighting with a dramatic chandelier and defining the space with the new wall color. Adding a statement art piece as a conversation starter is an excellent addition too.

Foyer Tables and Enough Lighting

As you walk through your foyer, it’s essential to have enough lighting. Therefore, it’s not only vital to have some overhead, as in a chandelier or semi-flush mount lighting fixture. It’s equally necessary for some ambient lighting. For instance, think about adding a gorgeous crystal lamp or some recessed lighting. In addition, this will add a layer of welcoming atmosphere to the foyer.

Pulling it All together in a Cohesive Design

The balance of creating a foyer that genuinely makes an entrance is adding that wow element. Consider the stairway carpet as a work of art. In other words, adding a dramatic carpet design will create a bold statement for everyone entering your home. In addition, to creating a fantastic home.
