Decorate Your Entry Hall

Your entry is a very important room!

Your entry is a very important room! - Huntley IL

It can introduce the beauty of your home to your guests.

Consider these ideas for updating your entry:
- Use bold and rich colors or striking black and white.
- Add mirrors to make the room appear larger.
- Explore the idea of shiny, lacquer or faux finish walls.
- Accent with metallic finishes, including gold, silver, bronze or copper.
- Install a front door that looks distinctive even from the inside.
- Purchase a dramatic light fixture or lamp.

It’s nice to include a table and at least one chair or bench where people can stop to put on their shoes, but too much furniture will collect junk on a daily basis. A coat rack or umbrella rack can add welcome functionality. Also take time to select artwork, rugs and light fixtures. When selecting colors for your foyer, think about coordination with the rooms you can see from your entry hall, probably your living room and maybe your dining room.

If you’re thinking about a remodeling project, you can redesign your front door for more drama, even adding side and top windows to bring in more light. If you don’t have a separate foyer, be clever in your decorating to make this area appear as a separate space, using your flooring, furniture and artwork selection.

Want to make a good first impression? Focus on redesigning your entry hall this season!
