Everyone​ ​has​ ​one​ ​no​ ​matter​ ​how​ ​big​ ​or​ ​small,​ ​no​ ​matter​ ​how​ ​new​ ​or​ ​old​ ​every​ ​house has​ ​a​ ​“Front​ ​Entryway”.​ ​Some​ ​homes​ ​may​ ​even​ ​have​ ​multiple​ ​entrances​ ​resulting​ ​in​ ​2​ ​or​ ​3 entryways,​ ​and​ ​it​ ​may​ ​just​ ​be​ ​the​ ​real​ ​“smallest​ ​room​ ​in​ ​the​ ​house”.​ ​We​ ​believe​ ​that​ ​with​ ​the right​ ​design,​ ​and​ ​decor​ ​the​ ​front​ ​entrance​ ​can​ ​really​ ​bring​ ​a​ ​lot​ ​to​ ​the​ ​table​ ​when​ ​it​ ​comes​ ​to creating​ ​the​ ​first​ ​impression​ ​of​ ​your​ ​home.​ ​After​ ​all,​ ​this​ ​is​ ​the​ ​first​ ​room​ ​you​ ​walk​ ​into​ ​and​ ​the first​ ​space​ ​your​ ​guests​ ​will​ ​see,​ ​and​ ​we​ ​are​ ​sure​ ​you​ ​want​ ​that​ ​first​ ​impression​ ​to​ ​be​ ​a​ ​positive and​ ​welcoming​ ​one.​ ​If​ ​you​ ​are​ ​in​ ​need​ ​of​ ​some​ ​inspiration​ ​to​ ​help​ ​bring​ ​your​ ​front​ ​entrance​ ​to life​ ​and​ ​give​ ​it​ ​a​ ​face-lift,​ ​here​ ​is​ ​a​ ​list​ ​of​ ​some​ ​ideas​ ​to​ ​get​ ​you​ ​started.

A​ ​Wreath​ ​or​ ​Door​ ​Hanging

Before​ ​you​ ​even​ ​enter​ ​the​ ​house​ ​you​ ​can​ ​give​ ​a​ ​kind​ ​of​ ​“sneak​ ​peek”​ ​of​ ​what​ ​is​ ​behind the​ ​door.​ ​A​ ​wreath​ ​or​ ​door​ ​hanging​ ​can​ ​be​ ​a​ ​fun​ ​and​ ​easy​ ​element​ ​to​ ​add​ ​to​ ​your​ ​entryway.​ ​If you​ ​are​ ​after​ ​a​ ​fresh, natural​ ​look​ ​then​ ​you​ ​may​ ​want​ ​a​ ​floral​ ​or​ ​greenery​ ​wreath.​ ​If​ ​you​ ​want more​ ​of​ ​a​ ​rustic​ ​or​ ​industrial​ ​feel​ ​then​ ​why​ ​not​ ​go​ ​for​ ​a​ ​oversized​ ​metal​ ​initial​ ​of​ ​your​ ​family name.​ ​The options are endless and​ ​it​ ​is​ ​easy​ ​to change​ ​things​ ​up​ ​with​ to keep up with​ ​trends​ ​and​ ​upcoming​ ​holidays.

Paint​ ​Colour

Not​ ​all​ ​entryways​ ​are​ ​large​ ​or​ ​open​ ​concept, ​ ​but​ ​an​ ​easy​ ​way​ ​to​ ​help​ ​create​ ​the​ ​illusion of​ ​a​ ​larger​ ​space​ ​is​ ​to​ ​choose​ ​a​ ​light and airy​ ​paint​ ​colour. ​ ​Pair​ ​this​ ​colour​ ​option​ ​with​ ​good​ ​lighting and​ ​your​ ​entryway​ ​will​ ​stay​ ​light​ ​and​ ​bright​ ​no​ ​matter​ ​the​ ​size​ ​or​ ​shape.

Alternative​ ​Storage

If​ ​you​ ​don’t​ ​have​ ​a​ ​large​ ​closet​ ​in​ ​your​ ​entryway​ ​or​ ​no​ ​closet​ ​at​ ​all​ ​then​ ​you​ ​will​ ​have​ ​to come​ ​up​ ​some​ ​alternative​ ​options​ ​for​ ​storage.​ ​A​ ​great​ ​option​ ​that​ ​we​ ​love​ ​is​ ​to​ ​find​ ​a dresser​ ​that​ ​goes​ ​with​ ​your​ ​aesthetic​ ​and​ ​use​ ​it​ ​in​ ​your​ ​entryway​ ​for​ ​winter​ ​clothes,​ ​extra sweaters​ ​or​ ​any​ ​other​ ​things​ ​you​ ​may​ ​need​ ​close​ ​at​ ​hand​ ​such​ ​as​ ​the​ ​dog’s​ ​leash,​ ​a​ ​flashlight or​ ​extra​ ​phone​ ​chargers.​ ​With​ ​a​ ​dresser​ ​it​ ​keeps​ ​everything​ ​organized and hidden​ ​while​ ​looking amazing and​ ​depending​ ​on​ ​the​ ​size​ ​of​ ​the​ ​dresser​ ​you​ ​could​ ​even​ ​designate​ ​a​ ​drawer​ ​for​ ​each member​ ​of​ ​the​ ​family.​ ​Another​ ​simple​ ​but​ ​effective​ ​way​ ​to​ ​keep​ ​things​ ​tidy​ ​is​ ​a​ ​long​ ​row​ ​of​ ​coat hooks,​ ​making​ ​it​ ​easy​ ​for​ ​everyone​ ​to​ ​hang​ ​up​ ​their​ ​own​ ​coats.

Area​ ​Rug

An​ ​area​ ​rug​ ​may​ ​seem​ ​like​ ​an​ ​obvious​ ​thing​ ​to​ ​have​ ​in​ ​your​ ​entryway​ ​but​ ​today​ ​rugs have​ ​become​ ​a​ ​big​ ​part​ ​or​ ​home​ ​decor. ​ ​There​ ​seems​ ​to​ ​be​ ​so​ ​many​ ​more​ ​options​ ​out​ ​there than​ ​there​ ​were​ ​a​ ​few​ ​years​ ​ago. ​ ​A​ ​few​ ​popular​ ​options​ ​right​ ​now​ ​are​ ​a​ ​cowhide​ ​rug, ​ ​a​ ​Persian inspired​ ​runner, ​ ​or​ ​a​ ​knotted​ ​rag​ ​rug. ​ ​Whatever​ ​you​ ​choose​ ​just​ ​be​ ​sure​ ​to​ ​pay​ ​attention​ ​to​ ​the size​ ​and​ ​shape​ ​of​ ​your​ ​space.
