An entryway refresh may be exactly what your home needs. It seems like a separate room entirely, but it truly connects the different rooms in your home. Your entryway may be a dual purpose space. It can also be used as the mudroom, a drop zone, and an area for storage.
Setting up your entryway to fit the needs of your family is important. There are many projects that can benefit your entryway. Why not add some storage or a bench to make getting out of the door in the morning that much easier. Updating this space to help create better flow in your home is a no-brainer. Whether it is functional flow, aesthetic flow, or both, an entryway refresh may be the next project on your list.
Quick and Easy Repainting
Adding a fresh coat of paint to your entryway can bring all your rooms together smoothly. You may have colors that don’t flow together or maybe it is the same color throughout your entire home. Your entryway is the first impression people have of your home. Keeping the color scheme flow throughout can create a welcoming space. Utilizing coordinating colors throughout each room can emphasize the barrier between each space without feeling too separate from one another.
Create Solutions for Storage Problems
The entryway is often a drop zone when entering the house. Shoes, keys, bags, and anything else you may be holding get left right by the door. Adding in a solution for this storage problem can keep the shoes away and the keys from getting lost. Adding builtins to your entryway adds the storage you need and is customized to your needs. Do you want show and coat storage? A bench to put your shoes on in the morning? Custom builtins may be the right addition and solution to your foyer.
Functional Decor and additions
A ledge can be a decorative addition to your entryway while also being functional. It can add more room for decor or a place to store things needed as you run out of the house. Installing a custom ledge and coat hooks along the entryway wall can add interest to the space as well as a place to store things. Millwork can be the perfect pairing to a new ledge and coat hooks. These features are a great trio for your entryway.
Creating an entryway that works for your family is important. Having a place for all of the things you need when running out of the door will make your mornings run smoother. When your spaces flow smoothly from one to another, it creates a cohesive set of rooms that work with one another.
