Must-haves when designing an entryway
Looking for inspiration to transform your home entryway? These key elements will help create a functional and inviting space.
A STATEMENT PIECE
Create a great first impression as soon as you open the front door
Pendant lighting - A statement light fixture is a great way to add visual interest and will act as the main focal point.
Artwork - Similar to statement lighting, choosing an eye-catching piece of artwork will create a strong visual impact.
Mirror - As well as acting as a main feature, a mirror will help to reflect light and make the space feel larger.
STORAGE
Create a great first impression as soon as you open the front door
Buffet - If space allows, opt for a buffet table that has cupboards or drawers which will provide you with amble storage.
Console table - If space is limited, choose a more slimline console table and add baskets underneath for extra storage.
Bench seat - A bench seat is a great alternative option that provides a place to sit as well as built-in storage options.
DECOR
Add finishing touches to ensure its inviting and sets the tone for the rest of your home.
Rug - Introducing a rug into the space will bring warmth, colour and texture. As an entryway is a heavy traffic area, be sure to choose a durable material such as jute or sisal.
Lamp - Adding a lamp is not only a practical option if the entryway lacks natural light, but it also creates a welcoming and inviting ambiance.
Greenery - Plants offer a sense of calm and are a great way to create a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere as soon as you enter the home.
