The front entry or foyer of your home forms guests’ first impression from the moment they open the front door. Creating an entryway that is both functional and beautiful can take time and money, but there are a few quick ways to spruce up your space without breaking the bank. From hooks and bins to wallpaper and benches, get inspired to enhance your entryway with these ideas from Porch.com.
1. Add pattern or a pop of color
Ditch the dull paint and choose a bright, fun color or wallpaper pattern that will make your entryway warm and inviting.
2. Choose chalk paint
If you can’t commit to one color, try dressing up your entryway with chalk paint. Stylish and great for kids, chalk paint is a simple solution to making a quick update to your entryway.
3. Make room for storage
If you have a large command center or built-in shelves in your entrance, decorate with bins and baskets to keep clutter in order.
4. Double up on hooks
Why only have one row of hooks when you can have two? Make room for extra jackets and coats by adding a second row of hooks in your entryway.
5. Hang a gallery wall
Greet your guests by decorating your entryway with pictures, art, and more. A family-friendly gallery wall is a great way to add a personal touch to your entrance.
6. Add extra seating
Make the most of your space by creating additional seating in your entryway. A small bench or chair will add style and convenience to your space.
