If curb appeal is what draws people into your home, then your entryway is what invites them to hang up their coats and stay a while. With the holidays coming there’s no time like the present to put your home’s best foot forward. Your entryway is the first part of your home guests will see when they arrive for Thanksgiving dinner. What sort of impression does your entryway make? If you’re worried your entryway decor may be a little less than stellar, this blog post is for you. We’ll show you how simple furniture pieces, well placed lighting and beautiful wall decor can totally transform your foyer into a welcoming space that’s guest friendly.

A Place to Hang Coats, Hats, etc.

Regardless of what the weather’s like where you live, you’ll want to make sure you have a convenient place for guests to unload right when they enter your home. Since we’re a Michigan business, we’re going to assume your guests will be braving the Michigan weather this holiday season. As the host, you need to be prepared to meet the needs of your guests. This includes giving them a place to stomp off snow, hang up their coats and, depending on the host, take off their shoes. We love incorporating a polished and elegant credenza into entryway design. For one, this offers clients a beautiful space for storage without bulky looking bins. A credenza in your entryway can offer you storage for things like, gloves, hats, and various outerwear. You can then garnish the piece with a basket for keys, treasured photos or even artistic sculptures. The possibilities are truly endless!

A Place to Welcome 

Your entryway will be the place you greet guests. Make your entryway a welcoming space by keeping the design neutral and classic. There’s something so beautiful about understated decor. Invite guests to ease into the soothing and refreshing atmosphere of your home by welcoming them with sophisticated decor styled in neutral hues. You can add strategic pops of color to hone in on your personal taste and style. If your space allows, you may want to offer a chair or bench for guests to sit on while they take their shoes on or off. We have a variety of armchairs to choose from at Home Interior Warehouse and think you’ll find just what you’re looking for!

A Place to Wow 

It’s no surprise that we are fans of neutral decor. Neutral decor doesn’t mean your home has to be boring! We love to incorporate pieces that add that wow factor like the Melange Tatum Demilune Chest. Styled like a piece of art, this piece is one of our favorites. You can wow your guests by displaying non-traditional wall art like our Bannock Wall Panel. Whatever you decide to do, we think wowing your guests with a little spice to your decor can be a great way to get the conversation flowing! Adding a touch of artistic lighting to highlight those wow pieces will complete the look. An entryway table like a credenza or chest is the perfect carrier for showing off a stylish lamp. Plus, the softer lighting will make your space all the more welcoming, which is definitely important during the holidays! What about your home? How do you add the wow factor with your decor? Are you also a fan of neutral decor? We want to hear from you!
