How do I make my Scandinavian front entry stand out?

A front door can make or break the home’s entrance appeal. No one wants a front door that stands out for all the wrong reasons, so choose one that is unique, interesting and yet suits the style of your home. Intricately carved wooden doors are great for traditional Indian style homes. While arched door works well for Mediterranean-style homes, and a double door is a great way to make a dramatic entry statement. If your entrance is set back from the facade of your home, try using a lighter or brighter color palette for the door. Add potted plants and a welcome mat to make it stand out. Don’t forget about proper lighting to guide the visitors in the dark. Alternatively, if you want a cost effective Scandinavian foyer design makeover - try painting your door a bright color or adding new hardware for a fresh new look.

What furniture and storage do I need in my entryway?

Foyers have both utilitarian and design roles to play within a living space. The utilitarian aspect includes storage and space to ensure the Scandinavian entrance to your home is clutter free as possible. It is wise to select a few practical items that will help with storage and offer a warm welcome. Coat stands, umbrella holders and shoe racks are practical foyer additions that will keep the area tidy. If you have the space, an armchair or hallway bench will prove useful for perching on when removing shoes and definitely consider multi-functional furniture such as a storage bench for shoes.
