The front entry also known as foyer is the first impression that your family and friends experience in your home. It’s the first space that guests see when they walk through the front door and for many homes, it may also be a drop-zone after a long day or work, sports and school. So, why not make it as functional and of course as beautiful as possible! Today, we are sharing some of our favorite ideas and inspiration for creating a beautiful, welcoming space!
Lexi Westergard Design1: Start with a Console Table or Bench
Our favorite furniture piece for the entryway is a pretty console table. A beautifully styled table adds a nice focal point when entering the home and provides a landing space for important items like keys and mail. Here are a few our of our favorite benches…
A bench is another great alternative that offers a place to sit to put your shoes on or scroll instagram for a bit while you wait for your friends to pick you up for happy hour.

2: Add Artwork or a Mirror – Fill the wall space with something beautiful that makes you happy. This could be one large piece of artwork, several pieces of art stacked, in a grid or side by side. A mirror is a great idea for the entryway as well, so you can take a peek before you head out the door!
