First Impressions: Creating an Impressive Entryway

From the minute people walk into your home, they are developing impressions of your taste and style. In the rush to fix up the main spaces in your home, have you neglected the front entryway? Think about making your home’s “first impression” special by building drama into your foyer.

Flooring provides an easy and powerful way to dress up this space. How about a medallion – wood or stone – set into your floor? There are also a number of beautiful listellos – inlays of tile or stone – to create a border that makes a space feel special. Because entryways are generally smaller spaces, you can spend a little more per square foot without hitting your budget too hard. To be even more conservative, consider simply adding a contrasting color stone or tile to your planned flooring to add interest.

Then add a small bench or table, possibly a piece of art or a mirror, and turn your foyer from a hallway to your home to a place to pause and appreciate. With just a little effort, your home’s entryway can be a special introduction to your personal taste and style.
