How To Decorate Your Entryway
The space between the hallway and your home may be small. One lingers there perhaps shortly, but it isn’t as trifle as you may expect. The space is referred to as the foyer.
The entryway is what sets the tone for the rest of your house. Not to mention the amenities placed there, determine your mood. A crevasse that gives you some homely feeling after the tiresome stretch spent outside. It is the space to take off your shoes, set your keys, and hang up your coat. Consider your foyer as a tangible warm greeting card- it enlivens you and your guests.
The space is inclusive of mirrors, consoles, benches or stools, often decorative items, lighting like ceiling lights or lamps, space for your keys, and in some houses shoe racks. It is a world of possibilities- there is also an opportunity for the addition of soft furnishings like cushions, curtains, and door mats. It is a space to add your loved ones with photo frames, on the console or the wall! To have this space that’s capable of accommodating traffic while appearing its best, you’ll need a few approaches to choose from. Take a cue from these diverse settings and suggestions to ensure your guests are bewitched!

Choose from a variety of palettes such as warm colours, cools, neutrals or even make it pop with a complimentary colour scheme!

When it comes to decorating your doorway, don’t forget about storage. Since vital goods like shoes, umbrellas and even keys are frequently left there, make sure you have designated areas for them. Storage includes a variety of consoles, sideboards, cabinets, racks and more. And it does not have to be a sad lifeless piece either- it can consist of colour, finish, movement and curves, wedges and lines, and the hardware can be the punch. When it comes to designing storage, we have mastered it with style- have a look at a couple of our storage solutions.

Place the Kaira console in your foyer, for all your small valuables. The adequately low-heighted console doesn’t restrict arm area and beautifully blends functionality and style. The piece can be made to order from a wide range of finishes in polish and duco finish, the carving adds zest to storage. It can be styled with vases, candles, mirrors, and lamps.
A European concept that we seem to have adopted is that we tend to wear coats, hats and bags while outdoor, that are removed and placed in the entryway, to adapt to a more indoor setting. A slim and stout coat stand has sufficient space for bags and coats and adds a traditional element to your ambience.
Bring In Seating
An easy way to help guests feel more at home is to arrange a seat prominently at your entrance. Both benches and chairs provide a practical location to sit when putting on or taking off shoes.
Take a look at these seating options from our collection, which we think are perfect for your foyer. Growing us as Indians, we are taught to remove shoes when we enter our homes, it keeps our house clean and it is a practice most of us haven’t abandoned yet.
