5 Ways to Style Your Entryway

Aug 2

If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve probably seen my recent posts about entryways. The entryway serves as a key point of transition between your home and the outside world. It also functions as a place where people often stop to take note of the decorating style of your house and get inspired by what other homes look like nearby. The best way to style your entryway is through proper lighting, clean lines, neutral colors, storage options for shoes and other accessories, creative wall art pieces, and other interior design ideas that will leave a lasting impression on passersby from the moment they enter until the moment they leave again at the end of the day. Here are four ways you can style your entry...

1) Lighting is Key

When it comes to design, lighting is key. This is especially true in the entryway, where you want the space to feel welcoming and inviting. If you don’t have enough or the right type of lighting in your entryway, it can be a deterrent to entering your home. What if a guest needs to stop to use the bathroom or needs a place to put their coat? What if you have packages or bags you need to drop off? For these reasons, it’s important to have enough and the right type of lighting in your entryway, especially if it’s the only source of light in your home. Choose lights that cast a soft glow, and make sure they’re placed so they don’t create shadows. Avoid overhead lights that are too bright, as they can cast shadows on walls.

2) Keep It Clean and Neat

As tempting as it is to add a bunch of stuff throughout your entryway, you may want to reconsider. While you may have a ton of furniture and decor items in your home, the entryway should feel open and welcoming. To ensure that your entryway stays clean, add a few baskets, racks, and hanging racks where you can store keys, bags, jackets, umbrellas, hats, and other accessories. That way, you won’t have to worry about them cluttering up your entryway table.

3) Storage Options for Shoes and Other Accessories

If you have a small entryway, you may want to consider using a shoe rack to store your shoes and other outdoor accessories. You can also use wall hooks to hang a shoe rack inside your entryway so that shoes don’t clutter your entryway table or floor. If you have a large entryway, you can also consider using a coat rack to hang your jacket and other outdoor clothing like hats and gloves.

4) Neutral Color Scheme for Brighten Up Your Entryway

A neutral color scheme can be especially appealing in small or modern-style homes. The right neutral tones can brighten up your entryway, creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere that invites visitors in and feels like home immediately. Choose a warm neutral such as a mustard yellow, warm grey, or beige color for an inviting aesthetic. Alternatively, you could add a splash of brightness with a lighter shade like a soft yellow or turquoise. A neutral color scheme can be especially appealing in small or modern-style homes.

5) Creative Wall Art Pieces to Make a Statement

Pink is one of the most common feminine colors, and for good reason — it’s soft, feminine, and sweet. Pink accents the home beautifully, and can be used in both feminine and neutral spaces but it’s especially great for bedrooms, making it ideal for creating an ideal feminine space. It’s a powerful color that can instantly uplift mood and create a feeling of calm. Pink is also associated with femininity, so it’s a great color to use to enhance the feel of a feminine space. You can choose pink accent walls and accessories or pink furniture, or use pink details such as pillows or throw blankets. Pink doesn’t have to be baby-ish and soft, either. Pink can be bold and powerful, depending on the rest of the interior design and color scheme. Pink can also be paired with other colors, so you can create a rich color palette with pink as one of the focal points.

Conclusion

The entryway is an excellent place to add a splash of color, create an inviting atmosphere and display some decorative wall art pieces. When decorating your entryway, keep in mind that it should feel inviting and welcoming, yet also reflect your personal style and taste. If your entryway is dark and gloomy, you can add a splash of color, brighten it up with some uplifting wall art pieces, add some storage options for shoes and other accessories and create a sense of order with a few key hooks or racks. If your entryway is small or compact, you can add some decorative wall art pieces to brighten up the space and add some color while also making it feel larger. You can also add some storage options to keep shoes and other accessories out of the way and create an inviting atmosphere. Now that you know how to style your entryway, get to work! The entryway is an excellent place to add some color, create an inviting atmosphere and display some decorative wall art pieces.
