Entryways

An entrance hall is the first thing you encounter when you enter a house. It has an important role not only for the guests who visit us but also for the members of the house. It allows us to breathe and remove our jackets, keys, or high-heels. In addition, it welcomes guests who arrive without entering the kitchen or living room directly and reflects the design style we chose for the entire house space.

Entrance halls usually start already outside the front door. Many times when we plan a new house, we place the front door a little further back than the rest of the facade to create a more intimate, shaded space, and as we call it - the outer foyer. We can place a nice flower pot, a bench, a rug, and inviting lighting there. When entering the house, the foyer space is the one that will welcome us. We can then experience the design line, absorb the atmosphere and style of the house, take a short break, recharge, and move on.

An entryway doesn't have to occupy the entire space. The effect can be produced by placing a console, planning a unique carpentry piece of furniture, placing a mirror, using decorative racks, wall covering, a partition wall, or combining a storage cabinet with some decorative items and suitable lighting to create harmony and flow in the space.

Do not give up the foyer space in favor of the living room or other room. The foyer plays an important role and creates a buffer and resting point between what is happening outside and the action inside the house
