They say you never get a second chance to make a first impression, and the same holds true for your home. Whether it’s at the front or back of your house, your entryway is the first thing guests see when they walk through your door—it sets the tone for the rest of your home. Is it welcoming and stylish, or more of a dumping ground for shoes, keys, and mail? If your entryway could use a little love, now’s the perfect time to refresh it! March is all about transitions—new seasons, fresh starts!
Start With A Statement Piece
What’s the focal point? A sleek console table, a bold piece of art, or a beautifully framed mirror can set the stage. A mirror, in particular, is a double win—it adds visual interest while bouncing light around, making even the smallest entryway feel more spacious and bright.
Bonus: It gives you one last look before heading out the door!
Function Meets Style
Let’s be real—entryways are often high-traffic zones, which means they need to be as practical as they are beautiful. A stylish bench or a set of hooks can work wonders for keeping everyday essentials organized. If you have the space, consider built-in or freestanding storage with cubbies for shoes, baskets for scarves, and a dedicated spot for keys.
Light The Way
Lighting plays a major role in setting the mood. A pair of sconces can make your entryway feel warm and inviting, while a stylish table lamp on your console adds an extra layer of coziness. If your entryway tends to feel dark and cave-like, consider installing a statement chandelier.
Add Personality
An entryway is the perfect place to introduce a little personality into your home. A bold paint color or a stylish wallpaper can create an eye-catching backdrop. Not ready to commit to color on the walls? A rug with texture or pattern can instantly add warmth. Layering in accessories—like a decorative tray for keys, fresh flowers, or a small sculpture—brings the space to life and makes it feel intentionally designed.
...Until next month!
