Your entryway is where first impressions are made about your home and your style. They establish the personality of your home and set the tone throughout your living areas. If you want to set your best foot forward when decorating your home, these tips are sure to help!

1. Be Bold
Most entryways are contained, so you can be creative and bold here. If you have a piece that makes a statement, such as a bold rug or bright accent chair, you can find a home for it in your entryway. If you’ve always wanted to try a graphic wallpaper, here’s your chance!

2. Show Personality
The entryway is a place where you can display your favorite photos, art, and even scented candles. Look for one-of-a-kind accessories that layer well together. Think of it as a teaser of what guests will see when they walk around your home.

3. Be Selective
While it’s good to go bold, you don’t want to overwhelm the space. There should be only one or two main pieces of furniture, such as a console and a bench. You can add complementary accents such as a mirror, art, photos, and small sculptures. These items should vary in size and not compete against each other. This will balance the space and avoid overwhelming it.

4. Make it Useful
Your entryway should be welcoming and comfortable, but it also needs to be a useful space. There should be an area for shoes, coats, and bags. These solutions don’t have to be eyesores, however. You can find items that will blend in with your space.
