The foyer is the hardest working room in the house! Not only does it set the style for the rest of the home, it provides storage, organization, and a place to primp on your way out the door. Use our cheat sheet to make sure you have all your entry essentials covered.
Lights On. There is nothing worse than a dark, gloomy entry! Provide ample lighting with a pendant or table lamp. Consider wall sconces if you’re tight on space.
Slim Storage. Create a catch-all zone for mail and keys. Look for console tables with drawers, small dressers or wall mounted cabinets.
Mirror, Mirror. Prevent wardrobe malfunctions by hanging a mirror by the front door. Added bonus: Mirrors reflect light to make your space appear bigger and brighter.
Take a Seat. If space permits, include an ottoman, bench or chair to take shoes on and off. Try tucking one or two ottomans under a narrow console table as shown above.
