Exotic Entryways for Elegant Home

Entryway is the first place that hits the visitors when they come to your home. If it is beautifully done, it sets the tone of your home and prepossesses the visitor about your home décor. A warmly lit entryway with elegant looking furniture, furnished beautifully with accessories and rugs can be a beautiful prelude to your home.

You will need basic entryway furniture that serves the purpose – wall-supported shelf where family members stash their street headgear, extra warm wear or rain wear, footwear and things like umbrella, walking sticks etc. It will need a mirror for you to check yourself just before you leave for your outing. Many have a bench to sit and wear their shoes.

Yes, indeed there area quite a lot of things that may need to be stored in the entryway and that is why a good size storage shelf with a mirror on it comes mighty handy. Think how much place will be needed to store your footwear – your winter shoes, party shoes, light open-toe shoes for summer, office and formal wear and casual wear – no wonder bigger shelves are welcome in the entryways!

Even if your home entryway space is not too large, still planning to have sufficient storage is imperative. Try for floor to ceiling shelf with a mirrored door and the bottom shelf customized to store your footwear. Hangers can be accommodated for overcoats, rain-wear and blazers. You can arrange to have a peg board for your caps, hats etc also.

You can check out for beautiful looking umbrella stand or tree for the visitors to keep their umbrellas and other stuff. But, you must not clutter the entryway with too chunky or heavy looking chairs or tables. A slim console table can be added if space permits. Also a narrow bench and small stools are best seats which take up very less floor space.

Entryways are high traffic area and so will need some sturdy and solid color rugs or floor mats that will add color and warmth to the décor. You can add a touch of color with a vase of fresh flowers also. And it is essential to have sufficient entryway lighting. A beautiful pendant light and back-lighting for the mirror will be best.
