The foyer in your home can be a challenging area to decorate because of the fact that it won't ordinarily have an intended purpose such as your home's other rooms. For some people, their foyer should hint at what you'll find in the rest of the house. A few things you should consider when deciding how you can decorate your foyer are traffic (because you'll get a great deal of it there), maintenance (ought to be simple to maintain), storage (coats, gloves, other outdoor gear), and versatility (furniture that can serve double-duty).

Romantic Foyer

Nothing says romantic greater than a vase with fresh flowers upon an entry or hall table. For a more romantic feel, be sure that you include greenery.

If you have a mirror hanging in your space, tuck favorite family or vacation photos into your frame's edge.

Including some scented candles that go together with the season may be nice, plus they are special to light every now and then.

When you have a favorite saying or a passage originating from a book, print it on a nice paper, mat it in a color that's one shade darker than your wall color and hang it within a nice picture frame.

Creating an Eclectic Foyer

Paint the walls a bold color that is one that you like.

Group together found objects on the table, such as shells, rocks, and pine cones. Place them all together in an unexpected holder, for instance a silver candy dish or possibly a crystal bowl.

Enlarge one of your favorite photos, put it inside a handsome wooden picture frame, and place on your wall or position it on your table in the foyer. You could also frame maps of your favorite places in pale blue or deep green picture frames.

Developing a Contemporary Foyer

Frame favorite family photos in similar silver picture frames of various sizes and put on an entry table.

Take one of your beloved objects, such as a sculpture, a vase, or perhaps a piece of pottery, and set it in "center stage" on your shelf or perhaps a table

Keep your artwork simple and focus on only one piece that's important instead of numerous pieces.

Creating a Traditional Foyer

Cover your foyer walls with a historical wallpaper that integrates your colors.

Use a console to show a cluster of family photos which are all sepia or black and white, and put in old-fashioned picture frames.

Showcase collections like tea cups, paperweights, or whatever you feel enthusiastic about on mahogany shelves. For that uniform or traditional symmetrical look, group your items by shape, color, size, and material.

Utilize wall sconces if you want attractive foyer lighting. You can even add some drama into the area by placing up lights that can provide light for a corner plant.

Serene Foyer

If you possess the space, develop a private reading nook with a simple chair and also a pile or two of books beside it. You may also place a small bookcase within the foyer with some of your favorite books.

A group of smooth black stones in a white dish or bowl can create a peaceful contrast on the foyer table.

For that serene look you can arrange five bud vases which are identical on a table or perhaps a shelf, then put a single flower into each one.

One photo or poster or piece of fine art that moves you, matted and framed in a simple white wooden picture frame, can go within the foyer where you'll see it each and every time you come or go.

So, decide what type of style you will love and use these pointers to brighten your foyer. You'll be so happy that you did!
