Welcome guests into your home with a thoughtfully designed entryway.

Your entryway should be welcoming and functional with a place to hang bags and coats, a place to land keys and other clutter, and if space permits, a place to sit.

As one of the busiest spaces in the home, your foyer or entryway should reflect your decorating style and serve as a functional space. Combine function and design with stylish organizing solutions. 

Here are five quick ways to make your entryway work for you.

 

Tip1:  Lay down a eye-catching pattern or your favourite color tone’s rug on the entryway

Tip2:  A built-in bench, hall tree, or free-standing storage bench helps define your entryway and gives your family and guests somewhere to rest and take their shoes off.

Tip3:  A sideboard or built-in shelving gives you space to organize essentials such as mail and keys. Use pretty baskets to keep them on hand but out of sight.
