1. Paint The Inside Of The Door

This trend is here to stay! Painting the inside of your front door adds a nice contrast to light colored walls and makes the entire entryway a bit more interesting. If you have a long hallway it serves as a great focal point at the end of it.

2. Make Use of A Small Space

You don't need a grand entryway to make a statement. Adding a small functional console table with fresh flowers and accessories instantly sets the tone when walking into a home. Add a mirror above for function and style.

3. Use a Functional Bench

A bench is always a great addition to an entry if you have the room. Using a fun upholstery helps bring in texture, color and dimension. They can be stored under an entry console table or used on their own, but it is nice to have a small seating option next to the front door.

4. Wallpaper A Small Space

Sometimes space for a lot of entry furniture is an issue so wallpaper is a great way to add intrigue. If you are painting the inside of the door choose a wallpaper print that compliments the door color for continuity. A textured wallpaper such as grasscloth also works great to add dimension without being too bold.

5. Add A Fun Rug

A rug is a great option for transforming a space. It is an easy way to bring in color and texture to make an entry look less lackluster. It also doesn't have to be a traditional size. This photo shows how just a hint of color and pattern make a big impact on a space.
