What to do in the foyer?
Just bought this house and am trying to figure out what to do with the foyer. My guess is a table and maybe a chair on the back wall in front of the stairs, but I have no idea if that's the right move or not. The space is about 12 ft wide by 10 ft deep and open up to the second floor. Thoughts?

Comments (3)Hello Madhumita, What's the size of television you have? 18 ft or 12 ft may be too much of a viewing distance for a decent size TV. Foyer partition may be made of MDF jali or glass to not completely separate the area from the rest of the house. It is a good idea for privacy and comfort of guests.

Comments (15)Hi Anindita, You can actually give the foyer with wardrobe a somewhat mud room kind of look. Add a closed shoe-rack right between the door and wardrobe (slim enough to accommodate opening main door and wardrobe door comfortably). Put a vase with paper flowers really bright colored(Orange or yellow) on the shoe-rack. A Ottoman next to it (in bold print) and by a tall plant (like royal/lobster claw plant) on the open end (end facing the living room). The wardrobe doors can be covered with quirky funky posters/decals of anything you like.. fav. rock bands..attitude quotes..wanderlust places..or just color blocking diy on paper. I think you can safely stick paper paintings/posters using two-way tape. Something on the lines of......... On the wall adjacent to wardrobe, add a really nice looking hanging hooks and hang a mix of hats, jhola bags & any quirky art or any hanging indoor planter. Add a area rug (toward the living room) to give some definition and such that it would look all in place when viewed form inside the house. P.S.

Comments (7)Hey Shaku, so the idea of having a former is to provide privacy, so that who ever is entering cannot directly see into the entire home. if you're okay with one of the bedrooms being right at the entrance (which will be visible to whoever is standing outside the main door because of the window) then I'd suggest go for the second one. As Nitin mentioned, it allows you to have slightly larger bedroom and living room areas. in case you want to add a foyer in the first plan, you can place a partition behind the sofa on the left, it will restrict the size of the room visually, but you can compensate by using vertical lines...See More
