Give Your Entryway Its Own Personality
Just as you have special decorative touches in the rest of the house, create a unique, engaging space at the front door. Fully functional design can be fun with statement-making decorative hooks, umbrella stands, mirrors, and shelves that delight the eye. Be fanciful, colorful, dramatic, or elegant with accessories to add even more utility to your entryway. Pick a color, pattern, or style, and find art, accents, and furnishings that bring the theme to life.
A standing coat rack can beautifully accommodate multiple items in very little space.Character hooks can separate wet garments and, at the same time, be an art form.
An umbrella stand or large basket will keep wet umbrellas from puddling on the floor.
Distinctive mirrors can create the illusion of more space by reflecting light.
Add a decorative table, chair, or bench for style and utility.
Rugs can add texture and color as well as safety to prevent slippery floors, or place separate mats or rugs where wet shoes and boots can dry.
Paint the entryway a bold color.
Don’t Forget The Other Side Of The Door
An outside front doorway can often be overlooked, especially in harsh winter weather, with little thought given to its appearance. But the front porch is a prelude to your interior entryway and should be part of the rejuvenation. With a little effort, you can coordinate the outside with the inside for a warm welcome all year long.
Have a welcome mat that coordinates with the colors and patterns in your new entryway.
Sweep cobwebs out of corners and from over the door.
Keep your front porch area well-lighted and free of clutter. With steps, this is especially important to avoid trips or falls. Motion-sensor lights give added security.
Have a flowerpot or two by the door with winter greenery like evergreen boughs with solar garden lights added. After dark, they provide illumination and look very pretty.
A sturdy, big basket can collect and contain things that don’t need to go in the house.
Depending on your space, you can have a bench, porch swing, or patio set. Seasonal and holiday decorations are especially inviting.
Don’t live with a trail of clutter emanating from the front door. With a custom entryway designed for your lifestyle, you’ll be able to keep the whole family organized and your home more clutter-free. The front door and entryway create the first impression visitors will get of your home, so make sure it’s a good one. Plus, you’ll love coming home to a space designed for comfort and convenience. That’s the very best “welcome home!”
