You may already know that first impressions last. As a homeowner, you would want your family and guests to be impressed with the home that you’ve managed to purchase and maintain for yourself. To do so, you have to divert your focus to your entryway.
Among the first things visitors see as when they visit your home is your foyer. Without knowing it, visitors judge your home and your personality in just seconds of being on your property. On that note, you should take the time to decorate your entryway as it is where most first impressions are made.

You can make a bold statement by using the right colored rug. Patterns and colors are crucial. However, you should not forget that you can still maximize the impact just by choosing the right shape and size. For rooms that are narrow, you can opt for rugs that are lean and long. For square spaces, a round rug would be suitable. Let the proportions boost your decorating scheme. You can fill the space that you have with a single rug or, perhaps, use multiple ones that highlight design elements.
A Welcoming Entryway
Incorporating a well-finished front door will tell visitors that the home’s interior is comfortable and relaxing. If you have a glass door and a brown accent wall, you can showcase your interior artwork pieces upon entry. This makes for a brilliantly artistic foyer.

Eye-Catching Architecture

Spark an interest on your entryway by incorporating stunning architectural details. Include a door that will reflect the style of your home best. Sometimes the best way to do this is with nontraditional shapes and designs.
Spirited Curb Appeal
A front door that has prairie grills pays homage to Frank Lloyd Wright’s innovation. What’s more, it adds a certain charm to your entryway. This unique style can be utilized for any front home entrance.
Lively Combination
If you have a craftsman-inspired entryway, painting it a new color will certainly add energy to it. A door painted in bright red with white trim and blue siding offers a high-contrast but friendly aesthetic. This eye-catching method can add serious curb appeal to your home.
Sophisticated Entrance
An entryway must not only reflect the homeowner’s personality but it should also be hospitable to the home’s occupants and guests. Light trim work will pop against a mocha driveway and it will give your front an elegant touch. It’s the ultimate style for sophistication.
Custom Considerations

If you are going for a more elaborate option for wooden doors, a carved design will give you exactly what you are looking for. It also makes for a stylish statement. Feel free to carve animals, trees, or your own personal designs into your front door. It will certainly pick up attention from friends and family.
Emphasizing Elements
The height of large custom front doors can be emphasized by the additional molding design added on the top. Pair that with windows that go all the way from the floor to the ceiling and you will have the perfect entrance to your home. Emphasize the right elements for immediate curb appeal.
Grand Door Design
A hand-carved, intricate door and prominent stone columns make a Tuscan entryway the focal point of a neighborhood. Stand out and be the proud owner of one of the most stylish homes in the area. You’ll capture the attention of everyone passing by.
Modern Entry
Are you looking to create art in your foyer but you’re thinking twice as you have limited space? Don’t let small spaces hold you back! You can still achieve this with tile. Stainless trim and cool gray walls can transform an ordinary entryway into something spectacular.
Shielding Archway
Wood doors are inviting and naturally warm. They are best used in covered areas like homes with porches or patios. You can also use a storm door which will add extra protection from outdoor elements. Complement that with storm windows for an impenetrable fortress.
Contemporary Openings
Flush doors are wood veneered entryways that have a solid or hollow core. These doors work well with contemporary homes as the simple and sleek style complements modern furnishings. So go nuts and have newer models installed today!
