How To Design The Perfect Entryway

Bikes, shoes, golf clubs, tennis rackets, school bags – remove whatever makes your entryway looks chaotic and messy. Even if you choose not to add any decoration, your entryway will now look spacious and more appealing than before.

If you have a long entryway, placing a runner rug brings warmth, colour and softness to an otherwise dull area. You can choose from a high pile, low pile or flat woven runner for the perfect balance between comfort and aesthetics. While a stylish floor piece brings extra focus to your décor, make sure to add some anti-slip products underneath to hold the runner in place and prevent any nasty falls.

Create a fascinating story by lining the walls of your entryway with family photos. Baby pictures and vacations snaps are great choices as they always make guests feel at home and get conversations started. There is something incredible about grainy and faded photos in the age of digital ones – they bring back memories and evoke a sense of time and place in a way pictures on your iPhone just can’t.

From a Ming vase and a grandfather clock to a French ornamental desk or even ancient weapons like muskets, adding an antique piece at your entryway is an interesting touch.
