Be it your front door or your foyer, your home marks your very first memorable impression on your guests. For many people, crossing the front door of your apartment might be like crossing a tunnel. The narrow hallways and the tight foyers make the first few steps into your home as the most crucial ones. It’s time you give your guests a warm welcome with some grand ideas from these eye catching front entries.
Countryside entrance
You can easily create a homely feeling in your apartment foyer by making use of a little country chick. You can select any old white picket fence and place some healthy and well blooming potted plants behind it. To enhance the vintage feeling, you can also place a bicycle with a basket that will not only occupy less space but will also work great to hold the keys and important mails. You can collect the pieces from the antiques mall and the flea market.
Mirror decorations
Usually the hallways are narrower than the average rooms. A great idea to decorate the hallway is to collect unusual mirrors and place them on the walls. This will not only create a very interesting feature and will also enhance the overall appeal of your hallway. You can also combine furniture and mix the various styles to get that perfect finish.
Lamps for a warm glow
You can also place a small corner table under the mirror right at the entrance way to serve the purpose. To enhance its overall look, you can also place a small table lamp over it that will also provide a warm glow and place another glass bowl beside it to keep your keys and important mail at hand.
Color scheme
You can change the overall look of the foyer by painting it in a separate color than the rest of the house to create a warm entrance. You can select a huge piece of artwork to hang on, and then color the foyer accordingly to create an impressive and long lasting impression.
Rugs and benches
Another way to enhance your entrance is by placing a small bench and a coat rack right next to it. Your guests would definitely like the idea of sitting down and removing shoes and also stowing coats all at one place. Make use of a kitschy park style bench and also keep a rug area for people to keep their shoes on a rainy day.
Fish tanks or fish bowls
You can add life to your entrance by placing a large fish tank right at the entrance. A fish tank usually stands fit in maximum apartment entrances and brings along a sense of warmth and interest to an otherwise long forgotten space. You can opt for a narrow flat screen type of fish tank that can be easily set up against the wall in your entry way.
Colorful artwork
Add life and color to your walls by hanging a large and beautiful tapestry or any exquisite piece of artwork. There are many apartments where the residents are not allowed to paint, in such cases you can put up temporary color along with the artwork.
It is important that you keep your hallway clean. Do not clutter your entryway.
