Foyers require large, oversized wall mirrors, which are perfect for last-minute mirror-checks, creating the illusion of wider hallways and adding balanced light to narrow areas.

While you can go for round mirrors, sunburst mirrors are much better!

A small seating adds a beautiful yet practical function to your space. It provides the essential storage and seating that every entryway needs in order to be clean and organized.

Stay a while!

4. Add A Bold Painting or Sculpture

Impressive artwork sets the stage the stage for an inviting home. It immediately catches the eye and attention of anyone who walks through the front door.

Choose a perfect piece that will personalize your space and make it more appealing.

Instead of just adding a statement piece of artwork, create an art gallery by arranging striking pieces of artwork along your entryway wall.

5. Ornately Tile Your Floors

A graphic floor with a vibrant color palette goes a long way in making a statement!

If you live in areas prone to wet weather, go for durable, water-resistant flooring which is ideal for busy entryways.

Compared to ceramic tiles, porcelain is harder and less porous making it an ideal choice for high traffic areas.

6. Have a Shoe Rack

Sneaking a creative shoe storage solution is a fantastic way to create space and bring about organization in your entryway.

After all, having a place to put on or take off shoes in an entryway is essential in many homes. You want a shoe rack which will look clean and minimal while keeping your soles out of sight.

7. Add A Durable Rug

Perhaps one of the most common entryway décor ideas, and we cannot dispute!

A beautiful rug brings life, comfort and style to your entryway! Boldly-patterned rugs in particular add color and warmth to the space.

Go for a rug that is proportional to the size of your entryway, and when placing it down, always leave a sufficient vertical air gap between your rug and the door.

You also want to choose a rug that is not only good to look at yet very easy to clean.

That's why patterned rugs can be such lifesavers- whilst adding visual interest to a space, they also hide dirt and grime temporarily until you have a chance to clean the rug.

8. Dress Your Walls

Use eye-catching wallpaper to break up all the white space.

And if wallpaper isn't your thing, just go bold with the walls as long as your paint color comfortably introduces the rest of your home without coming off as too strong or out-of-place.

Featuring a striking light fixture in your entrance can deliver a WOW factor to your guests. Pick a beautiful chandelier or a well-done pendant light to provide the illusion of much-needed space for your entryway.

12. Add A Center Table

If you have a large entryway space, the thought of extending your cocktail parties to this area might have crossed your mind. If so, add a long table that could serve as a bar, if necessary.

13. Stand-out Staircase!

A dramatic staircase always stands out! Inject a dose of style by laying down a stylish staircase runner and really create a statement.

We found this textured round black table on Amazon! 

14. Add An Umbrella Holder

An umbrella dripping water just by the door is unacceptable! You want to introduce an umbrella holder especially if the weather is wet.

If you can't get a nice umbrella holder, just add a good basket there that can be used for various other purposes too!

Vertical storage is great in particularly since any residual water left on the umbrellas drips into a contained area, allowing them to dry in a convenient place.

15. Mount Wall Hooks

Wall hooks help keep your home organized-thus, you need them mounted by the entryway. You will need them for hanging coats, and bags.

When hooked to the wall, the hook takes up no space and goes virtually unnoticed unless the hook also has a decorative function.

16. Add An Ottoman

Adding an ottoman to your entryway is also a great way to add extra seating to this space. The kids will also love it since they tend to toss everything on that ottoman as they come through the hallway.

17. Add A Large Tropical Plant

Give your entrance personality by using the right plant to breathe a little extra life into your home before you even step inside.
