Greet your guests with style with these 18 DIY Entryway Decor Hacks That Are Brilliantly Creative. You don’t have to hire a designer or spend piles of money to make the foyer of your home special and inviting.

It is the first part of your home’s interior and it creates the first impression of your home and you, of course. So don’t underestimate this space and get ready to get inspired for your new entryway decor.

1. Command Center

@alexis.palis26

This small entryway is not missing comfort, organization and personal attention. The slim shoe cabinet offers two sections for hidden shoe storage and a rack for small everyday accessories.

A key house keeps the key chains accessible on the wall. The board intended for a week planner is an important part of the family ordinary activities. There are also two mail organizers for important notices.

2. Auxiliary Molding

@aesthetically.angela

If your home lacks an entryway, you can source inspiration from this idea. The blank wall behind the door is turned into a small everyday clothes and accessories organizer by adding a molding structure with a rack and hanging hooks.

The rack formed by the molding structure can be used for seasonal decor that blends the DIY entryway with the open-concept living space.

3. A Drawer To Create An Entryway

@hgtv

Another interesting idea for turning a small blank wall into an entryway is to add a storage unit.

It will serve not only for the storage and organization of accessories but also as a means to create a decorative effect. Choose the unit in a style that matches or enhances the one of the room it is placed in.

4. Create An Entryway With Racks

@happilyeverelisa

One of the simplest ideas for a DIY entryway decor is the one featured in the photo above. The neutral white shiplap is perfect to add different rustic racks and decorate them with seasonal charms.

Here, a plain wicker bag is repurposed into a holder of a bouquet of wildflowers. It is complemented by a linen print of wildflowers and a metal mail holder filled with faux white blooms.

The signs spelling “hi” and “welcome” set an inviting vibe in the small but appealing space.

5. Simple Farmhouse Decor

@antiquefarmhouse

Two arched window frames, an old weathered bench, a tall plant and a set of candles turn a plain space into a fabulous entryway.

The rustic charm anchored by the weathered wood items makes the space very welcoming. The added lunch basket with a pillow and the throw blanket on the bench elevate the cozy feel of the space.

6. DIY Entryway Hooks

@househomemade

If you want to add a touch of farmhouse to your entryway in an open-floor house, check out this idea. Get a weathered wooden board or a new board with a solid wood look.

Varnish it and then drill holes for iron hooks that will turn the plain wood into a functional and charming rack.

7. DIY Gallery Wall

@its.our.smallworld

When the entryway is too small or even lacking, it may be difficult to find suitable furniture in size and style. Then, you have no other choice but to make it yourself. How about a lovely, rustic, small but functional console table? There, you can set the tone for the decor theme.

Make it personal and special with family photos in different frames displayed on the table and the wall above.

8. Modern Rustic Entryway

@farmhouse__inspiration

This is another small but elegant entryway inspired by the warmth of the rustic style and affected by modern times. It features a stunning console table that has been made to suit the space from old pieces of furniture.

To maintain the authentic look of the wood, it has been well cleaned, sanded and then slightly distressed. The top of the table is perfect for special decor pieces that add character to the space, while the lower level is used for storage of baskets that perfectly complement the style.

9. DIY Center Of Organization

@betterhomesandgardens

To provide more storage space in a narrow corridor that will be turned into an entryway, check out this DIY cabinet. It consists of a shallow row of cabinets that is perfect for shoe storage. Coats, bags, and umbrellas have their special place in the middle of the custom-made cabinet featuring a wooden section with hooks.

Added artwork pieces on top of the cabinets add a personal touch and set an inviting vibe. Small wicker baskets complement the rustic style and make space for cozy decorations.

10. A Bench With Storage Space

@anawhiteplans

Make the small entryway organized and comfortable with a bench with cabinets. The three sections are enough to accommodate the pairs of shoes that the family wears most often. Above the bench, hang a rack with hooks for coats and bags. Depending on the style, it can be a simple wooden slat with hooks or cast-iron brackets.

If you want to increase the storage possibilities, make a floating shelf above the rack that will serve as a decoration display. To enhance the inviting setting, add pillows to the bench.

11. Create A Gallery of Handmade Decorations

@somutschlove

The entryway of this house has been turned into a gallery of special moments and handmade decorations. Opposite the wall with a set of identical frames with precious photos, there is a display of DIY Valentine decor.

The craft wall features a weathered window frame with a handmade leaf wreath, followed by a framed Valentine note and a DIY paper heart sign. Valentines can be stored in the tiny galvanized pot hung on the rack.

12. Repurpose Farmhouse Items

@decorsteals

Create a whimsical and charming atmosphere in your entryway with old wooden furniture. Repurpose window frames into wall hanging art, a glass bottle into a vase to display seasonal twigs or flower cuts. Make yourself a farmhouse industrial ladder on which you can place a blanket for decoration or use for coats and bags.

The small console table is made from old furniture pieces and anchors the space with its rustic look. Use the top and the lower levels to display more rustic pieces and personal items.

13. Display Your Love In The Entryway

@thedailydiyer

This DIY heart wreath is perfect as a St. Valentine’s Day decoration or why not as a permanent sign of love in the entryway. All you need is a nice frame to display the heart. The more weathered, the better as its distressed look will instantly attract attention.

The heart inside the frame can be made from paper book pages, white sheets and even scrap pieces from white fabric. The color of the heart can also be changed to match the existing decor.

14. Cozy Industrial Entryway

@hartman_haus

This simple and inexpensive console table has set a modern industrial style in the small entryway. The black color has defined the gallery of photos displayed on the two walls.

Added oversized glass vase with simple dry grass, a pile of books and other earthy-toned decorative pieces have made the place very cozy.

15. A Rack From Wooden Slats

@ourhappycheshirehome

You can repurpose an old door and turn it into an entryway rack easily. Just add hooks to it and voila. If you prefer a more interesting look, assemble a rack from wooden slats. Paint them a color that suits the existing decor. Add a wreath, signs or other small decor pieces to the hooks for permanent decor.

For a pinch of cozy farmhouse, add a rattan trunk or a wooden bench with storage.

16. Invite Nature

@livinginspiring

This Scandinavian-inspired entryway is so amazing! The furniture is simple but functional, all pieces are in neutral and earthy tones that keep the atmosphere inviting, airy and cozy. The addition of plenty of green plants instantly enhances the homely feel and look.

If you like this idea, you can experiment with the size and texture of the flower pots. Pots with painted images, or color texture, will add a pop of color, while pots from terracotta or rattan texture will complement the furniture.

17. Display A Favorite Place Or A Hobby In The Entryway

@sherwinwilliams

Use your entryway to “speak out” about your hobby or a favorite place.

Do it with paintings, pictures or prints. Hang them above the console table or the bench and see how the space will become more elevated and special.

18. Create A Statement Wall

@theverestplace

Even the smallest entryway can be given a bold statement piece. That may be an oversized decor piece or a wall in a dramatic colour. In this eye-catching idea, the shiplap wall was painted matte black to pop out against the white surroundings.

This color is also important to draw the focus to the framed pictures displayed on it. Maybe you wonder why the console table hasn’t been painted white? Because it would have gotten lost as well as the items displayed on it.

Small entryways or foyers have a big say in the flow, style, and organization of your home. 

Nonetheless, it’s needless to say that small-space interior design solutions have provided us with ways to make the most of minimal square footage, whether in the dining room, living room, bedroom, or even the entryway.

We’ve compiled several small entryway designs to help you create a stylish and functional foyer that makes a positive first impression while showing off your home’s personality.

Take a look!

1. Concealed Storage

@diariesofmyhome

If you don’t like going crazy with decor and color in your small entryway design, there are plenty of other routes to take. This cabinet adds a dose of texture to this minimalistic space. Apart from that, it’s also functional, as it conceals shoes to keep the space decluttered.

A small artwork and simple hooks make a big impression without doing much at all. The rustic planter with white flowers adds extra color and liveliness to the neutral-inspired entryway.

2. Double the Space

@coryell.home

Alcoves can sometimes feel inconvenient, especially if you have no idea how to utilize them. Here, a built-in bench provides both seating and underneath storage for a stylish and functional space. 

The sleek wall mirror draws attention and gives the space purpose, while a pair of wall sconces introduce symmetry and help define the space. Woven bins, a throw blanket, and pillows bring texture to the space.

3. Incorporate a Gallery Wall

@theverestplace

Wall hooks and mirrors are typical in small entryway designs, but a small gallery wall over a statement seating provides a more artistic entry.

In this entryway, a black-painted wall provides an excellent backdrop for a chic gallery wall that maximizes vertical space. The black and white prints pair with the planters on the bench for a fun design with a burst of energy.

4. Go for a Slim Console Table

@mydomaine

A door drenched in royal blue combined with a textured blue rug in this small entryway to contrast a slim mid-century console table.

The table fits perfectly into the space beside the door without compromising space, with decorative accents and a portrait above offering a simple but stunning display. The woven basket below provides enough storage for pillows and throw blankets.

5. Make the Most of Quirky Layouts

@stiltje.se

If your entryway has an unconventional layout that consists of narrow spaces, you can still make an impression with several small entryway ideas. Here, a built-in bench blends in well with the space’s gray color scheme.

A neutral patterned rug, a wicker basket with throws, and some soft pillows on the bench make the small entryway feel warm and inviting. A pair of nature-inspired prints and a wall sconce define the space, adding style and functionality.

6. Use Wallpaper

@apartmenttherapy

Wallpaper is an excellent option to incorporate some style into your small entryway. Here, a patterned, neutral-inspired wallpaper combines with board and batten wainscoting for a dazzling entryway.

The cozy bench complements the old textured rug and pairs with the planter to give the space a stylish look that doesn’t feel small in the slightest. Wooden hooks on the paneling are perfect to hang your essentials, be it scarves, handbags, keys, and more.

7. Keep it Close to the Landing

@kbutlerinteriors

Small entryway ideas don’t usually entail lots of decor items, but you can still make the few elements available to all work together and make an impact, like in this example.

The classic old cabinet, light blue patterned rug, blue lampshade, florals, and wall mirror all capture your attention without loads of extra décor. A pair of botanical prints take up a small space in the adjacent wall but create a significant impact.

8. Personalize Your Space

@54moore

Your home having a small entryway shouldn’t be an excuse for a lack of stylish and adequate decor and storage. This entryway includes extended shelves that provide plenty of surface area for decor items.

At the same time, a picture frame with small floating shelves that have tiny planters adds an elegant look. Several signs spread throughout the space create a delightful sight and personalize the entryway.

9. Contrast White with Brown

@katie_elaine

The shelf and hooks in this small entryway design are a step in the right direction, but a wooden bench below makes sure the limited space counts.

White shiplap walls contrast nicely with the hanging rattan handbag, cozy brown throw, and light wood accents, adding a homey farmhouse feel to the bright and light space.

10. Inspire with a Scandi Look

@thehylandhomestead

Creating a stunning space using bohemian design styles in your small entryway. Soft colors and wooden accents create a lovely sight for anyone who steps into this small entryway. 

The green section of the walls creates dimension, with wooden hooks and a hanging wicker planter adding a touch of texture without going overboard. The hanging circular mirror creates the illusion of a larger space, while a few plants and artwork bring some ambiance.

11. Consider Minimalist Elegance

@petiteslunes

Sticking with the simple basics of decorating in a small entryway is more ideal than going overboard and decorating every inch of your entrance hall. 

Here, a few affordable, on-trend ideas like a contemporary curvy mirror, a small console table, and a wicker basket for storage go a long way to create a warm welcome. Modern round wall hooks take the entryway to the next level, while a simple woven area rug keeps things subtle yet stylish.

12. Add a Farmhouse Feel

@citygirlmeetsfarmboy

Create a timeless feel with natural materials and rustic accents in your small entryway design. Here, a wall mirror framed by a pair of rustic planters pairs with the ‘welcome’ sign above to create a stylish first impression.

A simple wooden bench is long enough to accommodate seating and décor accents while also having space beneath it for storage. A rustic wood shelf, a ‘Ballard’ sign, and a patterned area rug add a warm feel to this traditional-inspired entryway.

13. Keep it Simple

@tifet_muniz

Most of the time, homes have an unused corner or unusual nook with untapped potential. Here, a small bench functions as a sturdy surface to display decor items.

The floating shelf maintains a light and airy feel, while a hanging basket below adds extra storage. The ‘welcome’ sign above draws the eye up, making an impact without taking too much visual space.

14. Include a Large Plant

@potejstronielustra

A tall floor plant is an excellent way to define a small entryway. Here, a time-worn patterned area rug adds texture and anchors the space.

The brown picture frame and hat pair with the wooden bench to create a warm contrast with the white walls. The tall floor plant adds some height and complements the aesthetic in the process.

15. Bring In a Dresser

@potejstronielustra

Never underestimate the impact of chic storage solutions. Adding a dresser allows you to keep some items out of sight while displaying others as well.

This small entryway has a reasonably tall dresser with storage drawers for concealed storage solutions. A labeled woven basket on the floor keeps the décor simple and functional.

Entryway decor designs and ideas can make your foyer as welcoming and warm as any other part of your home, beckoning guests to enter and instantly making them feel at home.

Furthermore, you can turn your entryway into a stylish, functional space with practical storage solutions.

We’ve rounded up some of our favorite entryway decor ideas that will transform your small, drab nook into a welcoming spot.

Take a look!

1. Introduce Natural Textures

@crumbshome

In this entryway, a black console table with woven basket storage underneath gives the space presence and purpose.

A small, cozy bench at the door provides guests and family members a resting spot and a place to sit down while removing their shoes. The wooden floor, rattan area rug, and woven baskets add texture to the space and contrast nicely with the vibrant white walls.

2. Consider the Season

@register_boulevard

The right piece of furniture can make a statement and bring in functionality to a small entryway.

The solid wood console table with fern planters and seasonal ornaments adds charm and purpose to this Christmas entryway. White shiplap walls bring a coastal feel to the space.

3. Through the Middle

@johannawiemann

This long entryway offers something new to behold as you walk through it.

A long, standalone floor mirror makes a statement in the dramatic entryway, with the light-toned wood floor and chest perfectly contrasting the white palette to give the space a playful feel.

4. Capitalize with Oversized Art

@ashleymartinhome

A large piece of artwork is an excellent way to show off your personality to anyone who steps right inside the front door. Here, a nature-inspired art piece adds interest and a subtle pop of color.

A gray area rug defines the space, while geometric chandeliers above add an extra touch of whimsy. A pair of table lamps on the console table introduces an element of symmetry for a clean look.

5. Excel with Rustic Charm

@diariesofmyhome

If you don’t have enough floor space in your entryway to accommodate seating arrangements but still want to make a statement, focus on your console table and the walls.

Here, a vintage mirror acts as the standout feature in the neutral-inspired entryway. Other rustic accents, such as an old arched metal ladder, woven vase, and decorative bells, bring rich, moody color and texture.

6. Add a Bench

@hearthford.decor

Just because your entryway consists of a staircase hemming in a narrow hallway, it doesn’t mean you can’t spruce it up with small entryway decor ideas.

A rustic wooden bench offers a spot for wayward items and a welcoming way to greet guests in this farmhouse entryway. Round wood décor pieces and a shelf with glass bottles add personality and presence, while woven wood stools, wooden floor, white throw, and pillows create a layered look.

7. Match Your Décor

@ltk.home

Having cohesion in your entryway is essential, not to mention an excellent way to make your home look clean.

In this entryway design, white, brown, and black hues interspersed among the ottomans, flower vases, picture frame, table lamp, mirror and candle stands for an appealing look.

8. Contrast Black and White

@lynnchheang

If you want to boost style and function in your entryway design, consider decorating with low-profile furniture. Here, a black console table provides a stylish spot to display decorative accents and drop mail or keys.

The console provides enough space underneath to slide in a pair of upholstered ottomans, keeping them out of traffic flow until required. The black accents combine nicely with the wood floor and woven area rug to add the right amount of drama and texture.

9. Utilize the Floor

@homesandgardensofficial

One way of introducing pattern and color to your entryway design is using an eye-catching area rug.

Here, a rustic, patterned rug defines and softens the space while bringing in a touch of added color. An old-world chest offers convenient storage for outdoor necessities like keys and umbrellas.

10. Take it to the Corner

@decorsteals

Place your favorite piece of furniture into a blank corner to fill in an otherwise unexpected spot. This small nook introduces plenty of texture to the hallway.

Fresh greenery instantly lights up the space, while a pair of woven baskets and nature-inspired artwork further enhance the organic look.

11. Consider a Classic Look

@thehouseof3hearts

Even if your home lacks a dedicated entryway, you can still create a simple yet inviting area. You only need to find a spot that connects to all the main living spaces.

Here, an antique chest creates a focal point and provides a landing spot for keys or mail. Vintage artwork, frames, and décor accents allow the personality of the elegant home to peek through.

12. Curate a Gallery Wall

@farmhouseismystyle

Transform an entryway wall into a display of your favorite artwork. This gallery wall hosts a display of personal photos unified by white frames for a cohesive look.

The natural wood console, wicker baskets, plush throw, and pillow offer warmth and functionality. At the same time, a soothing pastel door injects a small dose of color to make the space interesting.

13. Diversify Your Seating

@settingforfour

This spacious entryway provides enough space for different types of seating. An ottoman bench that can fit more than one person is tucked underneath the console table, adding a cozy feel to the space.

Comfy chairs on each side of the console offer extra seating space and combine with the table lamps to add symmetry. A lush vase planter creates a gorgeous ambiance.

14. Try a Minimalistic Approach

@gloriablackdesign

Consider a slim console table topped with a few decor necessities for an open and delightful feel in your entryway design.

The crystal chandelier and wall paneling in this grand entrance draw the eye up, enhancing the height of the ceilings. The large oval wall mirror adds a wow factor with its contemporary frame, while the wood tones provide a lovely contrast to the white walls.

15. Lighten Up the Space

@ny2nash

Dimension is an essential interior design element to create a balanced and visually appealing look in a space. The natural wood console table and wood floor balance the gray walls of this entryway design.

Various platers and décor accents on the table, beneath it, and on the floor offer varying heights for a more dynamic, lived-in space. The large round mirror helps open up the small entryway by reflecting light from outside.

16. Include a Statement Piece

@stephaniestroudinteriors

In this entryway design, a statement-making modern green bench provides a convenient perch inside the home. A colorful green vase and lamp base match the bench for a touch of grandeur.

The dark wood console table and flooring strike the perfect balance with the vibrant décor pieces.

17. Keep It Simple

@fab_habitat

Here, a dark wood console table stands out against the white wall and accents. An elegant area rug, handcrafted baskets, and a cozy throw blanket add texture and set the tone for a serene entryway.

18. Take on a Neutral Look

@ahousewebuilt

Greet guests with sophisticated style by mixing your neutral palette with bold hues. In this entryway, a tall wall mirror, a tiny pot planter, and a cute gallery wall add depth, color, and height while breaking up the white and gray palette. 

The mid-century modern stools and cat basket provide extra color and texture to make this foyer a standout space. The rustic console table matches the gray wood floor to complete the look.

19. Take a Bold Approach

@lumber_furniture

Instead of filling your entryway with numerous decor items, consider a single statement-looking piece for a budget-friendly design. Here, an enormous vase planter adds an immediate wow moment.

The mitered console table pulls its color from the wall mirror, helping anchor the space. Black accents help add some contrast to the foyer.

20. Go for an Airy Look

@dd_design_decor

In this entryway, a light blue floor adorned with a white wreath sets a lively tone. A textured blue area rug complements the front door for a cohesive look, while a pair of palm prints on the wall add personality and symmetry to the space.

A mirrored cabinet offers abundant storage, while a wall mirror above enables one last check of outfit, hair, and makeup. A white flowering plant matches the wreath and further reflects the homeowner’s coastal-glam personality.

Whether you have a small or big foyer to design, you can play around and work with different options. It’s a space that can grab you as you enter and give away a hint of the rest of your home’s interior design.

Make it functional and stylish and try out some of these ideas that suit you and your style.

1. Multi-part Foyer

@aea_interiors

Looks like an endless foyer. Make a foyer feel grand and spacious by using different neutral tones.

The space will transition with light and color, creating a multi-layered frame leading the eye toward the back window. A tree in view at the back becomes a beautiful real-life artwork that gives the whole space depth.

2. Accent With Black

@living_lighting_inc

If you want a minimalistic design with a touch of character, you can emphasize with dark tones.

The door and window frames are painted black to add the needed character. Everything else is kept to the minimum and undertone, from the rug to the painting on the wall.

The geometrical light fixtures without glass are modern and beautifully raise the space.

3. Fill The Space

@king_interior_designs

Entering an empty foyer can never be very inviting. Even a console table as you enter a small foyer is enough to welcome you warmly.

Arrange beautiful ceramic pieces on top of your console table, a vase of flowers, and, most importantly, a stunning art piece to hang above.

4. Hang Pendant Lighting

@luxxumoderndesignliving

A modern chic foyer to a luxury home is depicted with numerous elements of bling, texture and mirrors, but the centerpiece of it all is the light fixture.

A beautiful waterfall of a semi-stone turquoise chandelier is a stunning light fixture that will still transform a space with its presence, even in a more subtle design.

5. Add A Soft Yellow

@kaylamunrowe

Painting any space with a brighter color is a way to liven up any area. The overall dark wood and brown tones give the foyer and the staircase a heavier feel.

Paint the walls a soft yellow to soften the feel throughout to add color and warmth. The yellow tone can also be present in the furniture, and the color complements the browns very well.

The added tall green plants make it all look hot and cozy!

6. Choose Round Shapes

@landrydesigngroup

What better way to design this foyer than to use the round shape it already has? You can create a focal point by placing a round table, making it easy to move around.

Another thing to focus on is the light fixture, which visually gives the otherwise small space height like this stunning silver lantern.

Like we have here in black and white, any foyer with its color scheme is more inviting with a fresh bouquet of flowers.

7. Black And Gold

@alaeaansleyinteriors

If you don’t want to add much color or you want to let more light in with white walls, you can opt for some black and gold elements. It’s a sure clean and stylish look.

The touches of gold can be discreet. They can glisten in bowls and pendants.

It also gives some warmth to the otherwise dramatic feel. Any black-and-white artwork goes very well with this look; you can even have a whole wall of paintings.

8. Focus On The Stairs

@thevsigroup

The focal point of your foyer can be your stairs, mainly if they are centered or in good view as you enter. Beautiful ornamental railings and wooden steps are stunning, and you don’t need much more.

A natural leather rug, like this zebra one, adds an accent without overwhelming it. A lovely dramatic pendant can also be used to highlight the staircase.

9. Midcentury Piece

@patrickahearnarchitect

You can never go wrong with a midcentury console table or dresser in your foyer. As you enter, it’s the first thing that grabs your eye. Placing a fresh bouquet is always an excellent way of dressing it up.

A resting bench is always a piece of practical and comfortable furniture as you enter your home. It can be an accent piece with color that compliments the rest of your foyer.

10. Rustic Style

@cumlaudegroup

The wood accent accentuates the rustic architecture of the mountain home. A comfortable bench with a round rug, as you enter, makes you feel welcome to sit down and have a quick rest.

The mixed lighting also gives the foyer a subtle and cozier feel.

11. Hang Dramatic Lighting

@planinteriorsandplanarchitecture

Make good use of the open space of a double-height staircase and hang a sculptural chandelier to be visible from both levels.

A minimalistic look can be livened up with beautiful lighting fixtures. You can add contrast to white walls with modern black-and-white light. There are a lot of very chic and modern LED light fixtures to choose from as well.

12. Use Wallpaper

@Vincent Greene Architects

This look combines a lot of elements that unexpectedly go very well together. There is a checked black and white floor, white wainscoting wall, gold elements, and antique furniture.

The walls could easily go well with bright tone color, but a well-picked patterned wallpaper can even compliment the artwork on the wall.

13. Keep It Minimal

@houseofstyle_design

If you prefer a minimalistic approach and want to enjoy the spacious feel of your foyer without clutter, all you need to do is add a sculptural pendant light.

If you have a beautiful back view that can be seen as you enter from your foyer, it’s even better because it is put into focus as you enter.

14. Use Natural Elements

@southernhomemag

Your foyer doesn’t only have to be decorated for Christmas. Before you rush to remove your Christmas decor, let it naturally dry and still look good on the staircase.

If your foyer is low on natural light, decorating it with dried grasses or flowers is a great choice. It creates a cozy and inviting atmosphere.

15. An Outdoor Light Fixture

@coventryhomes

An outdoor black chandelier can be the perfect rustic touch to a subtle, minimalistic look.

The black chandelier complements the metal and wood touches to the foyer well and visually highlights the double-level staircase view.

16. Paint Your Ceiling

@averyfrankdesigns

A painted ceiling can dramatically change the scene as you enter a small foyer. A glazing effect to the paint creates an extraordinary mirroring result.

A lighter wallpaper and a darker ceiling make the space feel bigger without raising the roof.

17. Light And Airy

@followmetobrentwood

This design, with many windows from above and the front door, lets in a lot of natural light, making the space feel light and bright. Color isn’t needed with so much light let in, so things are kept more subtle and neutral in this case.

A modern geometrical pendant elevates the space as you enter the entry. A tall potted plant is an excellent way to fill a corner space and add a natural element.

18. Wainscoting

@violainteriordesign

Wainscoting always sits fantastic, whether it’s a space of traditional or modern design. With even light grey and white painted wainscoting, you can add beautiful texture to the walls.

The light walls are an accent of their own, but simultaneously, they bring out the beautiful woodwork of the floor and the staircase.

19. Wallpaper Ceiling

@Marker Construction Group

If you’re in favor of combining color, texture, and pattern. Top it all with yellow and white wallpaper on the ceiling.

With everything going on, like wainscoting, stripes, and floral patterns, the ceiling becomes a focal point with its splash of color.

What’s essential with combining lots of elements is to stick to a primary color scheme and by doing so, you can always choose one color that will stand out and sit well with all.

20. Brighten Your Door

@Clark & Co Homes

If you don’t want to go with the same color on the outside, you can paint your front door on the inside. This is an easy way to brighten up and add color to the otherwise neutral foyer.

If you’re delighted by the splash of color, you can stick with the same color on all your inside doors, giving them a cohesive feel.

21. Use Antique Pieces

@Lancaster Interior Design

You can use different vintage and antique decor pieces to add character and a timeless feel to your foyer.

A console table with a mirror hung above is always a classic option, whether on the one side or both. Combining different pieces, from the console tables, lighting fixtures and mirrors, can’t take away the limelight of beautiful Chinese ceramics pieces.

22. Add A Pretty Rug

@PS & Daughters

A pretty rug will add color and warmth, making your foyer feel cozy and inviting.

This large and airy neutral foyer from Urbanology Designs is decorated with designer lighting, modern furniture, large mirrors and a bright patterned rug.

Your entryway rug has its functional purpose, but your choice must also be based on your style because, as you enter, it sets the scene for the rest of your home’s interior. It’s important to consider details like a rug’s material, design, and long-term performance.

23. Light Boho

@Vantage Build In

Incorporate different materials, colors, and textures for a laid-back boho vibe. If you love color, you can go ahead and splash out with colorful decor like rugs and throw pillows.

For a more toned-down look, incorporate plenty of earthy elements like stones and wood sculptures to add warmth and texture to the space. Use natural fibers such as rattan baskets or wooden crates to soften the look.

24. Weathered And Timeless

@Fratantoni Design / Residential Architects

A stunning way to reflect your style and set scene as you enter is to make a gorgeous timeless display if you’re a fan of antique and vintage decor.

Any furniture pieces with weathered finishes are perfect for this look. Make a display on a console cabinet with antique collectibles. A big painting or a big mirror looks stunning and why not a glamorous chandelier like this one, which adds just the perfect touch of bling?

25. Color And Depth

@Crosby Creations Drafting & Design Services, LLC

Dark wooden furniture is gorgeous, but it can have a heavy feel if it’s not brightened with some color.

A hue like this blue throughout, compliment well the stunning furniture pieces, making it very warm and inviting to enter. A full-sized mirror is always practical and an excellent way to create depth and dimension.

26. Half-Moon Console Table

@Fred Parker Company, Inc.

A half-moon console table is a space saver, especially if you have a smaller foyer. Depending on the style and material, you can choose from freestanding ones and ones that you screw directly into the wall.

It’s complemented well with a mirror and vase of beautiful flowers, perfect for a double-height ceiling.

27. Umbrella Stand

@Scott Sanders LLC

An umbrella stand is a must-have piece of practical use and a stylish addition to any entryway!

In cohesion with the rest of the design, the umbrella stand can match the furniture or color scheme like this Chinese ceramic one, which is a stunning addition to the blue tones everywhere.

28. Pair Armchairs

@Flooring America Ocoee

Nothing can be more inviting and comfortable than paired armchairs. They are of practical use, and they can be used as stylish furniture pieces for your entryway.
