First impressions count: decorating your Entryway

You know how everything starts with the first impression... Does your entryway send the right message?

The entryway of a home serves so many purposes, not the least of which is to make a great first impression. Depending on the rest of your home décor and personal style, you can design a beautiful foyer that exudes a sense of your personality and the atmosphere you want to foster in your home. It’s the space where the mantra “purse, phone, wallet, keys, scarves, gloves...” starts chanting in your head as you are ready to walk out the door.

Lead the guests into your home with a colorful runner, make a statement with the unforgettable artwork, bring a mirror in an interesting frame. Flowers and plants create a special welcoming atmosphere! I love leather or wooden trays for keeping all small items organized and where you first catch that familiar, comforting scent of home after a long work day.
