Entryway Hub


Your entryway, mudroom, foyer, atrium, front hall—whatever you call it, it's the first space you and your guests will see when they come through the front door. That’s why it’s important not to forget about it when you’re decorating! You want it to feel warm and welcoming, but you also need it to function well, too. With our best entryway tips and tricks, you’ll achieve the cheery greeting you’ve always wanted.

There are a few essentials every great entryway should have: You’ll want a coat rack or a few wall hooks available for guests’ jackets and bags, plus a washable rug or welcome mat to limit the dirt everyone tracks in. Consider layering in a solution for shoes, as well. You could incorporate a shoe rack, shoe cabinet, or even a basket depending on your available space.

But it’s not just about storage and organization. Entryway decorating is important, too. Console tables are excellent additions to these areas, offering a narrow surface for keys, purses, or other extras as well as small decorative touches like photos or candles. You could also apply wallpaper or an interesting paint color to make an immediate statement. A mirror is a nice touch, too, allowing guests and your own family to do one last check before heading out. With a few of these entryway ideas ahead, you’re sure to make a lasting impression.
