Designers Agree These 8 Entryway Must-Haves Make a Lasting Impression
06.10.2023 - 12:31 / thespruce.com
It’s officially peak guest season and if you’re like us, you’d want your entryway to look swoon-worthy from the minute guests step in. Whatever the occasion may be—whether a Thanksgiving dinner, a Christmas party, or a book club gathering—nothing beats a well-designed entrance that leaves a lasting impression.
Then again, the entryway is the last space you see as you leave the house and the first space that welcomes you home—so you might as well make it work for you. The compromise: have it tell a story that would interest others, but also make it feel like a warm embrace you’ll love coming to after a busy day.
If you’ve been itching to update your entryway but aren’t sure where to start, here are eight staples that make an entryway according to the pros.
Statement lighting is often reserved for the living room and dining room, but not for Isabel Runsewe, the founder of Isy’s Interior. According to her, the foyer is a great place to update your lighting and make the space feel high-end.
“It can be as simple as swapping out bulbs for a more appropriate hue, to replacing fixtures and adding medallions,” she says. “Selecting the correct lighting hue(s) for your space adds a level of warmth and sophistication and sets a relaxed atmosphere for you and your guests as soon as they arrive.”
Depending on your style, you can go big with sculptural light fixtures, make a subtle statement with some vintage sconces, or maybe even invest in stylish table lamps that double as conversation starters.

For interior designer Laura of Laura Solensky Design, no entryway is complete without a mirror.
“Any size entry can accommodate some type of mirror so that you can check your appearance before you leave the house,”
