Entryway Design Ideas – A Warm Welcome

A Welcoming Entryway:

In this entryway design, I started with a beautiful rug. The rug adds color, texture and warmth, while at the same time protecting your flooring.

Have A Seat

It is always nice to include a comfortable seat in an entryway. It can be a chair, a set of ottomans or stools, or a bench like I have included here. This oak beauty brings a pretty warmth to the space. The perfect spot for sitting and removing shoes before entering. Bonus, it is extra seating when you need it! Beside the bench sits a basket perfect for shoes, extra pillows or blankets.

Artwork

I love artwork in an entryway. It can set the tone for your whole home! This beautiful art print brings color and personality to the space. Bonus: the print I chose is available in a digital format so you can have it printed in a customized size for your space.

Make it cozy

I love to add pillows and a throw to an entryway bench. Chose pillows that compliment the colors in the rug and artwork.

Extra wall space

If you have a blank wall opposite the bench, take advantage of the extra space! Simple coat hooks are the perfect solution. Hang a scarf, handbag or cute coat as a functional décor piece. Tip: don’t have an additional wall space? Hang hooks above the bench! Like here.
