Great Decorating Ideas for Entryways and Foyers

The small foyer area right inside your front door can present a challenge when trying to add warmth and decorative elements that welcome guests.  You don’t want to leave it stark, but you also don’t want to overwhelm the area.  Fortunately, there are many great furniture offerings that meet your needs without taking up too much space.

The Simply Modern Coat Tree is, by far, one of the most useful and stylish furniture pieces we’ve seen in awhile.  It’s clever in its design, adds context and height to an otherwise empty space and it serves a purpose.  Its mahogany finish sports a mirror for those last minute checks on your way out each morning, adjustable shelves for the kids to check on their way to school that are perfect for lunch, book bags or last night’s homework and hooks for coats, scarves and umbrellas.  It measures 19 5/8″ x 11 7/8″ x 70 7/8″.

Another great idea for your entryway is an organizer.  These are great for placing near the front door as a key catch-all, messaging center and those sunglasses finally have a home when you’re not wearing them.  There are several options, including those with corkboards or dry erase boards.

The one must have for an entryway is place to leave coats, umbrellas and book bags.  The Farmhouse Coat tree is just what you need.  It doesn’t demand much space, but adds an elegant touch to any foyer or entryway.

Finally, a bench is always a sure thing, too.  The Fremont Cubbie Bench is the perfect landing spot for your whole family as they shed coats, boots and purses.  The open storage along the front of the bench takes advantage of what would otherwise be wasted space.

Any of these modern pieces are perfect for foyers and entryways of any size.  Browse for even more great ideas for that one area in the home that no longer is the most difficult to personalize.
