Welcome to your Entryway

When you enter someone’s home, the entryway is the first thing you see. If you have never been to that home before, this is your initial impression of the living space. In a blog post from Houzz, Becky Harris explains why entryways are so important: “You have only one chance to make a first impression. So it’s important that the entry to your house is welcoming to guests, reflects your personal style and makes you feel happy and comfortable as soon as you walk through the door. This space sets the tone for the rest of your home.” If you are looking to create a welcoming entryway, we have suggestions that we think you will find hopeful. Join us as we go over these in detail below!

Our first suggestion is to add a piece of furniture. A console table is a great focal point in the entrance of a home so you certainly want to find one that fits your style, whether it’s a modern clean look or more traditional with intricate details.

Our last console table suggestion is perfect for creating a minimalist look at your entryway. The simple design of the Ferrera Console Table, such as the X-shaped legs and natural faux stone top, paves the way for you to choose any accessories that match your personality. You can add ones with color or unique design so that your entrance to your guests stands out for the perfect introduction.

The next item to add to your entryway is an accessory. An accessory represents your style and complements a console table with more character.

The Torah Bowl Flower Arrangement is different from the other accessories because of its height. This large piece gives you the opportunity to make a statement by using just a single piece on your console table, grabbing the attention of your visitors.

Last but not least, accent pieces can complete your entryway décor. They have the purpose of offering storage and convenience, tying the style of the entryway together or simply adding comfort with soft fabrics. A single accent piece can portray your personality as well with a one of a kind look or color theme. These items may vary from a coat rack to an accent chair or ottoman.
