Styling Your Entryway
Image: Pinterest
The entryway is often the first thing people see when they enter your home..
and whether you have a traditional entryway layout, a large and open foyer, or a small wall space on the side of your door, creating a space that feels like a representation of the rest of your home can make all the difference in inviting a warm and welcoming feeling.
The entryway of your home doesn’t just make a first impression; it also sets the tone for the style that carries throughout the rest of your home. We love using the entryway as an opportunity to introduce elements that continue throughout the home with a mix of old and new.

Start with an anchor piece
We like to start with an anchor piece to give an entryway look some substance and increase function. An anchor piece can be anything from a console table to a side table for smaller entryways.

Ground the space with a rug
Adding a rug to your entryway look brings warmth and texture, defining the space and creating a visual boundary. Whether it’s a long vintage runner, a rustic cowhide, or a small piece to center your console table in an open-concept home, rugs are a great way to add dimension to your entryway.

Add lighting
Illuminating your space is key in creating a cozy, inviting atmosphere. We love adding a statement light to draw the eye up in an entryway, but layering in a lamp is a great place to start.

Balance the look with a focal point
Hanging or leaning a large piece of wall decor above your anchor table draws the eye in to create a balanced focal point. In smaller entryway spaces, mirrors are a great way to make a space feel larger, but we love using them in large entryways, too.
