Do you pay attention to your entryway the same way you do with the rest of your house? You should! Bear in mind the impression you make with having a cluttered, soiled and plain entryway. This is the entrance to your home, so start the beautiful mark right there, where you enter your house.
Clear the Clutter- If you do not have an entryway closet, invest in a good coat rack. You can find some beautiful wood or brass racks that are stylish, yet big enough to handle all of your coats. When the season changes pack away the outerwear that is no longer needed instead of leaving it on the rack. You can now use the rack for light jackets, summer hats, or umbrellas. You can also often find an umbrella holder that will compliment the coat rack.
Replace the Area Rug or Doormat - This is probably one of the most important things you can do in your home's entryway. A ratted, tattered, and dirty rug can really leave a bad impression. It is easiest if you have an extra entrance area rug to exchange while cleaning the other one. It doesn't take long for the repeated traffic to cause wear and tear to a bargain rug. This is one part of your home where spending a little more on the rug will really pay off in the long run.
Third, decorate the entryway. Yes, beautifying is not only for the main rooms. The entryway will benefit too from decorating, which will consequently be favorable to your home. An attractive welcoming area of the house creates a positive impression. Hang wall decors and repaint the entryway walls. You can also place potted plants or if there's space, place a small chest for displaying a vase of flowers and a cute container for the keys. Beautiful and functional. How nice is that?
Another decorating idea is to have a screen door. The light, both natural and artificial passing through the screen will make the area look more inviting. Remind your children to use the door handle instead of the bad habit of pushing and letting the door bang closed in order to avoid damaging the screen door.
Lighting is also very important. Have sufficient amount of lighting that is not blinding yet not too dim. Just enough is the keyword.
Decorating the entryway is well worth the effort. It's an investment for improving your home. What a great way to welcome guests and for coming home, don't you think?
