SIMPLE WAYS TO BREATHE
NEW LIFE INTO A FOYER
A foyer is easily overlooked when designing a
home’s interior. But an inviting entryway can set
he tone for other interior spaces in a home.
A foyer may not garner as much attention as a
kitchen, living room or
formal dining space,
but the entryway to a home
is the fi rst place residents
see upon arriving home and
it’s also where guests begin
to form their impression of
a home. That makes a foyer
an important, if easily overlooked,
space in a home.
Homeowners hoping to
give their entryways a little
something extra can consider
these simple means to
breathe new life into a foyer.
• Add seating. If a foyer is large enough to accommodate
one or two armchairs, such an addition can immediately
contribute to a welcoming and comfortable ambiance.
Upholstered chairs can offer some color and
provide a space for residents and guests to put on and
remove their footwear.
• Make a statement with lighting. Foyer lighting is
meant to make an entryway warm and welcoming, but
it also can be used to make a statement. An impressive
pendant light fi xture in the foyer can make a strong
fi rst impression on guests and establish a vibe residents
can keep in mind when addressing other interior
spaces throughout the home.
• Conquer clutter. Foyers big and small can feel a little
claustrophobic if there’s too much going on. Though
furnishings like seating and console tables can dress
up a space, make a concerted effort to ensure they
don’t become dumping grounds for outerwear and unread
mail. In addition, designate an ideally concealed
space to store footwear if the foyer will serve as residents’
primary entryway.
• Add some artwork. If an existing foyer lacks personality,
some simple artwork can add a pop of color
without overstimulating residents and guests. Artwork
can be hung above a console table to create a calm
and welcoming vibe. Homeowners can even utilize artwork
to change the vibe in the entryway so it refl ects
the seasons, hanging a picturesque winter landscape
painting or print when the weather is cold and some
bright and breezy beach art come the summertime.
• Incorporate plants into the entryway. Plants can
add vibrancy and a pop of color to an entryway. Plants
also can brighten up the space. If the foyer tends to
be a bit dark throughout the day, consider faux plants
so residents and guests are not greeted with withered,
sun-starved greenery upon entering the home.
