First impressions count: 8 ways to make your entryway more luxurious and welcoming
The entryway serves as "the welcome committee" to our homes and helps create first impressions for those visiting us. The entryway is also the place where you can express your individuality and personality. That said, the entryway is often overlooked and neglected and treated as a mere transitional space.
A "good" entryway is where we can find everything we need when leaving the house. And it should also be inviting and welcoming for our guests. To this end, you can consider sprucing up your entryway.
But how can we do this? Well, here we provide 8 simple tips you can try out:
1. Basic and clean
A great way to add a feeling of luxury and elegance to your entryway is to make it as simple, tidy and clean as possible. A simple side table with clean lines - and with a few decorative elements on it - will give your entryway a touch of class.
2. Think about the flooring
Flooring can also help add luxury and elegance to your entryway. A floor designed specifically for this space, with wooden planks, decorative tiles, a carpet or rugs will add color and movement without being intrusive. Remember that foot traffic could scratch or wear out the surface of the flooring, so consider creating a spot where guests can remove their shoes as they enter your home.
3. Contrasting geometries

Palying with contrasting geometries will help create a more luxurious and elegant environment. Use carpets, chandeliers and paintings with geometric patterns that contrast with each other to best express your personality.
4. Mirrors
Mirrors help make spaces appear visually larger and increase the overall brightness by reflecting light and amplifying it.
5. Art
Add paintings, statues and other artwork to your entryway that express your personality and display your tastes.
6. Use color
A wall, a piece of furniture or a few colored accessories can add interesting colored details that will give your entryway a richer and more personal look.
7. Focal point
Add a focal point to your entryway with a uniquely designed piece of furniture or an originally patterned rug.
8. Lighting
Pay special attention to lighting by adding light fittings with unique geometries or table or floor lamps that amplify the light, creating a more pleasant atmosphere.
