The foyer or entrance is one of the most important areas to stage when carrying out renovation as it is the one that gives the first impression of a home. Although these spaces tend to be small, they have the ability to define the tone, style and functionality of other spaces throughout the interior.
There is no compromise with cleanliness and order. Newly painted wall, polished floor, or any other renovated lighting is an immediate indicator of care and attention to detail. A console table and a mirror above it is a traditional staging set-up that is stylish as well as useful. Light is also reflected by the use of mirrors so that the narrow foyers look brighter and bigger.
Other staging highlights include storage solutions. Coat hooks, a dainty shoe rack, or a sleek bench with storage space can demonstrate that it is functional, and that storage is concealed. At the larger foyers, a statement light or an area rug can be a focal point and can give personality.
The decoration must be as bare as possible, but effective. A small plant, vase of fresh flowers or bowl with keys without overdoing it welcomes. The color palettes should be used in accordance to the overall design of the house: neutral colors so as to appear elegant or subtle bursts of colors so as to bring out liveliness.
Lighting is very much so. The foyer is a bright place and this is why one should look into the use of pendant lights, sconces, or even skylights (in case the renovation is possible).
Inference: Decoration of entryways and foyers during the renovation process produces a long term first impression. Through a combination of cleanliness, clever storage and considerate decoration, renovators can make the transitional areas to be friendly introductions that determine the mood the whole home gets.
