The entry of your home is the first thing your guest see when you invite them into your home. As the saying goes, “First impressions are formed within 7 seconds.” Create a lasting impression in your foyer that expresses your personality in a nut-shell. Show off your individuality but don’t show all the goods … shhh, save that for the rooms.
My dream foyer would be packed with bold style, sexiness, gold accessories, lucite, a statement chandelier, and Mongolian fur ottomans. At least, that’s what I am dreaming of right now – it changes.
This blog post was inspired by the powerful statement foyer that I found in the House Beautiful magazine (picture above). Isn’t it drop-dead stunning? My eye was immediately drawn to the wallpaper. I love the citrus and blue tones in the pattern. Not to mention the pedestal table that literally was screaming my name.
1. STYLE - Enter your home with style! Design your foyer by starting with largest item. Carpeting in most spaces will dictate the design. Stair runners and area rugs are a great way to introduce color and pattern into your foyer. Or opt to be different and add decorative wallpaper in your entry while keeping it neutral on with the carpet. Add a funky console table with a statement mirror above it. Reinvent an old table lamp and make it bold with a new lamp-shade. Strategically place florals, trinkets, picture frames, and other decor that will catch your eye as you enter the home.
