Whether guests are visiting, or family is coming home after a long day, the entryway can be such a welcome hello as they walk into the space.
The entryway really sets the tone for the rest of your home, inviting you to sit and stay awhile — or at least to feel a sense of welcome even if you’ve just dropped by to say hello. It’s your home’s way of giving a good first impression.
By giving the space some thoughtful attention, it can transform the experience you have when walking through the door. It’s a beautiful way for your home to invite you inside, nodding softly as it welcomes you into a place of refuge. Regardless of how much space you’re working with, we have a few simple tips and go-to styling tricks for creating an entryway that does all of the above.
Consider Height
When styling an entryway, it’s important to make height part of the equation. Think about how much space you have, whether it’s one wall or two, and plan for where you’ll add contrasting heights.
In a two-walled entryway, style the primary wall with a console and the opposite wall with something just a bit shorter like a slipcovered bench. If you are focused on a single wall, find ways to add a variety of heights through the use of mirrors or artwork, faux greenery, or lamps. This is a foundational recipe for success, giving you a great starting point for the rest of your entryway styling.
