A foyer or entrance way is the first impression your guests have of your style. It sets the mood for the entire home. Here are 4 interior design ideas that have a big impact:
1) Consider all your options!
There are other options besides the standard console table. If you room is small, consider other options, such as…..
- A great piece of abstract art (see below)
- A long bench to put on shoes (below)
- Borrow the host and hostess chair from the dining room!
2) Consider Larger Art!
Large vertical art will make your space feel much bigger! Try it, it’s a great optical illusion, it really does trick the eye to make a space feel larger, or taller. Once you trade a small piece of art for a larger piece, the room instantly feels bigger!
3) Add color & personality!
First impressions with beautiful art, wall paint colors, or anything that reflects the feeling you want your home to convey.

I hate it when people put lots of small art and photos all clustered together. You are so right about using large art in a small space. I gives such a dramatic feel.
