Need Decor Ideas for Foyers? Here are 10 Fetching Entryways

First impressions matter, which is why having an attractive entrance passage goes a long way in setting the right tone

Everyone wants a well-decorated, beautiful home but it’s half the battle lost if your first entry point, the foyer, has no character. For a graceful transition from the exteriors to the interiors, go for an impressive foyer design. Take a look at some of the spaces below and borrow lots of decor ideas for foyers.
UAD India
1. This entrance foyer area is bright, airy and open, where just a single brass vessel kept atop a patch of pebbles complements the refined rusticity of the place.

2. The bright artwork and the flower vases create a warm, welcoming ambience, and the recessed lighting plus the chandelier add a shimmering touch to the scene.

Tip: In terms of measurements, a good rule of thumb is that the foyer area should be around 2 to 4 per cent of the total square-footage of your house.

3. The antique-style sculpture and rug, with a few plants, add layering to this brown, earthy setting. They fill up just the right amount of space without encroaching on the walking area between the corridors.

4. All it took was a pop of colour and scattered greenery to perk up the design of the neutral foyer in this apartment.

5. This foyer shows that symmetry or a mirror effect in design can create a striking result – the twin consoles, flowers, mirrors, wall lighting and even floor vases fill the space with character. Symmetrical arrangements also exude visual harmony and create a calming, sophisticated vibe.

6. This modern foyer area is spruced up with a few effective lighting and stained-glass accents that add a bit of drama.

7. The checkerboard flooring, the monochrome floral wallpaper and the gold detailing conjure up a pattern-heavy foyer that immediately sets a theatrical, lively tone for the house.
Thompson Custom Homes
8. Crisp, clean and elegant – this foyer design with the small bench and chandelier allows the glistening finishes and bold black lines to take centre stage.

Tip: A cost-effective way to add a stylish touch to a space is by using mirrors, as these don’t overwhelm a space; rather, they make it feel more open. Investing in a large expanse of glass also intensifies the visual effect of all your other decor items.

9. Sometimes it’s a single element that can take a space from good to wow – in this case, the star is the patterned rug where the soft blue colour scheme and the foyer mirror with a cut-work overlay offer a strong supporting role to the design.
Nunley Custom Homes
10. The tin ceiling gives the foyer a chic, antique look – it also encourages people to look up, thus highlighting the height of the room.

Tip: To install a tin ceiling, mount a plywood backing first and then nail on the tin tiles.
