Making your front entry to your home feel inviting is just as important as your home’s curb appeal. Nothing is worse for visitors than walking into a space that disappoints at first glance. Whether you’re selling your home or restyling it for your own pleasure, make sure your foyer creates a welcoming vibe.
So you ask, how do I do that? First, freshen up the paint. Dark colors tend to create a stuffy atmosphere. Try brightening up your walls with whites, creams, sage green, pale blue. Next, make sure your flooring is clean and in good shape. If your tile floor is outdated, paint it! I followed Bob Vila’s advice and it worked great! Can’t change the flooring? Add an area rug; make sure your rug fits the space.
If you have room, add a place to drop your keys. Narrow hall tables and sofa tables are perfect. Or, try a floating shelf. Hall trees work well too if you don’t have a closet. Add fun art, plants, vases. Just remember to keep it light, don’t overwhelm and keep it functional!
