The Art of Living: make your entryway chic


Lately I have been stressing to my clients the importance of having an entryway that just has lots of panache....

It needs to make a statement and be extremely representative of how you want your home to feel. It's like the first chapter in any good book, it's gotta get you wanting more. I always love a great piece of art or mirror above a console but I want to inspire you to think outside the box, too. Give your entry space a little bit of flair by adding fun, eccentric and oversized items. Collections can really be perfect in your entryway, too! The bigger and bolder, the better...trust me.

How right you are! Entrances are the first impression of a home. They say a lot about the owners.

Hi! I so agree with you, the entryway is were we can be most creative and it is what the visitors see first. We all know that the first impression is everything!!

Thank you for sharing ~ I have such big plans for our entryway, after we finish our living and dining room ~ it seems to often be a forgotten part of the home, so I like that you brought it into focus!
