ENTRYWAY DECOR IDEAS
ENTRYWAY DECORATING IDEAS FOR THE HOME
I have a very small entryway in my home, so small that it is almost not an entryway but rather a wall with a closet by the front door. I searched for some entryway decor ideas, and I was not disappointed! There are numerous ideas in this post that I would LOVE to use, and I can personalize them for the space that I have available.
One of the first things I need to do is to repaint a couple of walls in my living room. Right now, the accent walls are Seaglass, but I am now looking for a color that is a little richer and more inviting. The blues that I see in some of these pictures might be the direction I choose. My only hang up is that I am concerned that dark blue will make my small space look smaller, but that is a concern for another day.
Whether you have an entryway, a foyer, or a mudroom, you are going to be inspired! Modern, bohemian, rustic farmhouse or trendy fun, it is all included here. There are tutorials as well as home tours, and a few Christmas ideas for you!

Flipping furniture is a perfect way to save some money and personalize a piece for your entryway. I have done numerous furniture flips and I have never paid more than $5 for the furniture piece. Add the chalk paint, and you are still staying within budget and creating cuteness for your home. My favorite brand of chalk paint is Dixie Belle, and you can see some of my favorite colors on Amazon:

One thing that I LOVE about decorating is all of the little touches you can add to a space. Shelves hold baskets, hats, jars and knick knacks, while a bench adds space for sitting, as well as space underneath for cubbies or drawers. This type of space is perfect for kids to store their school or sports items that need to be used frequently.

I love a good blanket ladder! If you do too, just know that you can buy an old ladder from a yard sale for $5 and it works just as well as the one pictured above. In fact, I once bought a very large, old extension ladder for $3 and cut it into 3 blankets ladders. I shared the extra two with friends and they loved them too. Always remember, you don’t need to spend a ton of money to create a great look for your home.
Adding items to the wall, such as shelves and ladders, allows you to create a beautiful space without needing more square footage. In fact, I prefer smaller homes because of the coziness factor!

SMALL ENTRYWAY DECOR IDEAS
There are numerous ways to decorate your foyer or mudroom. Since the space is usually on the smaller side of things, it is best to gather items that are not overly bulky. Small tables, single chairs, mirrors, benches, and shelves all work well. I love the look of a set of chairs painted in graduated hues of one-color, hanging on the wall. You could also add items on top of the chairs for visual interest.
Did you know that mirrors create the illusion of more space? Not only do they brighten up a room, but they also tend to make a room look larger. This is why I have mirrors in almost every room of my small house. Plus, it is easy to check out my look for the day without exerting any effort! Here are a few Amazon ideas for you:

Your home’s entryway is not only useful decor space, but it is also the “WELCOME” center. Using that area to reflect your own taste and the tone of your home sets the stage for the rest of your house. Whether you keep this spot decorative or you add useful items like a coat rack, the foyer can be a peaceful entry into your home.
