For me the key to a welcoming home is to let your personality shine through your home. People feel welcome and comfortable when they discover a home full of character that tells the story of its owner.
Entryway / Foyer
I think an entry way or a foyer is the best place to make a great statement - after all, this is the first room your guests will see! Make them feel welcome but also show them what you love! It can be a really simple : may be a great piece of design, an art piece or a dramatic runner rug to draw your guests in.
The best way to make an entryway beautiful and practical is to invest in good furniture pieces that introduces the style of your home's interior and your home's period and architecture. A good entryway is one that really serves the needs of the inhabitants of the house, and this will differ from home-to-home. In some, capacious storage for coats will make a good entryway; in others, plenty of bench seating for booths and shoes; in some, especially in homes with separate mudrooms, a good entryway will be a beautifully decorated space that is storage free and simply designed to make everyone feel welcome.
Stay tuned for more reveals on how we designed our foyer!
Warm regards,
