Introduction<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Designing an entryway might seem like an after-thought, but it should be anything but. The entryway is the first step inside the interior of a home. It needs to be welcoming. It also needs to be functional as it is one of the most used areas of a home.<\/p>\n

Your entryway sets the tone for your home. Warm and welcoming are two words the keep in mind while designing an entry.<\/p>\n

The amount of space you devote to an entryway not only depends on the size and scale of the rest of your home, but how you plan to use it. One of the first decisions you need to make is whether you\u2019ll require one entryway or two. It\u2019s not uncommon to establish a formal entryway to greet guests at the front of your home and have an equally welcoming, yet less formal space \u2014 often a mudroom \u2014 for residents to enter.\u00a0 This area is where storage plays an integral role.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Front Entry<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When guests step through the front door, having a pleasing line of sight into your home is inviting. One that emphasizes the post and beam frame and perhaps a fireplace or a spectacular view.<\/p>\n

OR <\/em><\/p>\n

You may choose to reveal your home slowly. The foyer provides a perfect setting as a transition while also creating a sense of expectation for what is to come. Use a wall or a staircase to provide separation from the front door and the remainder of the home.<\/p>\n

Either way you go, take care not to over-design this area. All too often, a homeowner wants to make a statement with the foyer for that \u201cwow\u201d factor, but the space ends up becoming overcrowded and cramped. Less is more in a front foyer.[\/vc_column_text]
