ENTRYWAY Design Guide
Your entryway is the first impression guests have of your home.
It's where functionality meets style—a space that says something
about who you are.
Design Principles
1. Start with the Right Foundation
Your entryway sets the tone. Choose: deep charcoal, warm gray, navy,
or natural wood tones.
2. Embrace Functional Minimalism
Every piece should serve a purpose. A bench for sitting. A coat rack
that holds coats. A console table for keys.
3. Layer Textures and Materials
Mix wood, metal, leather, and stone. A wooden bench with metal legs.
An iron coat rack. Stone or concrete flooring.
4. Lighting Matters
A wall sconce or pendant light creates ambiance. Avoid harsh overhead
lights; opt for warm, dimmable options.
5. Keep It Organized
Invest in hidden storage. Everything should have a place. No clutter.
Design Principles
Keep your entryway uncluttered by rotating seasonal items
Add one or two plants in minimal pots for a touch of life
Consider a statement piece—a sculpture or unique coat rack—but keep it singular
Use warm lighting to make the space feel inviting, not cold
