Redecorating is a great way to make you fall in love with your home all over again! Over time, certain areas can feel stale or might not function as they need to for how you live now. Plus, as often as we are in our homes, our needs change and our house might need to as well.
One of the things many of our clients are doing now is repurposing spaces to suit their needs. Maybe it’s a dining room into a relaxation space, or a guest bedroom into a home office.
Start at the Beginning
The front entryway of your home makes the first impression on guests, neighbors and passers-by. Now that spring is in view, there’s no excuse to neglect this space. With the hope of entertaining in our homes again, it’s worthwhile to make the front entryway just as endearing and welcoming as the rest of your living space.
Here are some tips:
Hang new light fixtures.
Beyond functionality, lighting can make or break the mood of your front entryway. If the single pendant light fixture isn’t doing it for you anymore, consider a different style, such as sconces.
Add a new piece of furniture.
A bright, beautiful bench can be a great addition. If you don’t have enough room for a full bench, add a small chair with a stool that acts as a side table.
Welcome décor.
Accent pieces that complete the entryway play an essential role. An outdoor area rug and/or welcome mat that greets guests, a gorgeous springtime wreath at the door, flowers and plants are also aromatically and visually stunning.
While a small space, the entryway can be rather intimidating if you’ve never decorated it before. Don’t stress about it or any other space.
