An interesting light fixture is functional decor for your small foyer.
Foyers give the first impression of your home to visitors and guests. Even a tiny front entrance can leave a big impression when you decorate it with the style and d cor that reflects your personality and home ambience. Whether you have an elegant French country home, Asian-inspired decor or the rustic look of a mountain lodge, the front entranceway starts to tell the story of your lifestyle and tastes. Does this Spark an idea?
Seating Area
If your foyer is where your family members usually enter the home, make it a comfortable place to sit down and remove your snow boots, running shoes or other apparel before stashing them into a hall closet. Have a decorative can for umbrellas and a table to place your backpack or briefcase on while removing your coat or jacket. A vintage park bench or antique church pew will serve as a functional place to sit after entering the foyer.
Decorative Flooring
Use decorative marble or tile, carpeting with a border or a beautiful rug to reflect the style of your home and make your small foyer a showplace. Rugs come in all types of patterns that can reflect the eclectic, floral, country or Asian influences in your home. Geometric prints, bold polka dots, classic fleur de lis or other patterns will help your decorating style flow from the foyer to the rest of your home.
Accent Tables
Even small foyers can have visual impact with just a few items placed near or on the wall of your foyer. A sofa table, console table or a tiny accent table can provide a base for a decorative piece of artwork, vase or table lamp. Displaying a beloved painting or family picture above the table and a knickknack or two is the only additional touch you will need.
Lighting Fixtures
Lighting fixtures can be expressive works of art that reflect your personality and decor. Whether it is an elegant low hanging chandelier, a rustic antler ceiling fan or a couple of Victorian looking wall sconces, light fixtures can enhance the welcoming look of your foyer.
