The entryway to your home isn’t always at the top of your interior design agenda, and nor should it be. But once you see these gorgeous examples of beautiful home entryways, you’re probably going to change your mind.
The entrance to your home is the first impression you give to your guests, and it’s the first experience you have of your home after a busy day at work. You want your entrance to reflect the atmosphere you’ve invested so much time in creating throughout the rest of your home.
How you can, or choose to, decorate your entranceway much depends on the size and shape of you room. Entranceways are often off shaped rooms, fitted around main, larger rooms, and the aesthetic features of the front of your home and making structural changes will usually mean taking space from larger main rooms such as living or dining areas, which most of us would choose not to do. An unusual shaped room gives you opportunity to think outside of the box and create a quirky room that your family and your guests will appreciate.
Many entryways showcase the home’s main staircase, so it works to turn your stairs into a stunning and jaw-dropping piece of your home.
Larger entryways are fun to work with. You shouldn’t add too much furniture, as it’s simply not needed in a room that is simply a thoroughfare, but you should go large with the decorative features you choose to include. Oversized lighting features, such as chandeliers and hanging lights, look fantastic in tall homes and entryway rooms with steep staircases. Rugs, oversized vases, and even superficial pillars make outstanding features in entryways without being obtrusive.
Neutral tones such as cream and brown work well in entryway rooms because they don’t overpower the room and are suitable for any occasion. They don’t give a bold and lasting impression on any guests and don’t have much power in altering your mood, but they are comforting, which is essentially the most important thing anybody needs to gain when they enter their home. Splashes of metallic golds, solver, bronzes, and taupes all work well to add a splash of luxury and glamour to your home, but won’t upset a neutral color palette. Instead, they offer understated charm and allure.
