Your entryway is a transitional space, a bridge between the outside and the indoors. It serves as an ideal space for a few personal flourishes. Not only is it the first space that the eye of a visitor beholds, but it reveals the character of the decorating that is to follow.
First impressions are important; when a person enters a home they judge it within the first few seconds! Although the entrance, foyer, vestibule, or mudroom may seem like a small and insignificant space, it carries a huge responsibility.
Fortunately, entry decorating can be broken down into a few simple components: wall color, floor covering, furniture, wall decor, and lighting. Although entryways are usually restricted in size; this limitation actually works to the decorator’s advantage.
