You never get a second chance to make a first impression. Particularly when you have people at home. It does not just speak volumes about you, but also makes the ones visiting, comfortable and loved. Small entryways can be wonderfully transformed by making subtle changes that can make heads turn.
How do you make a narrow entryway bigger?
Narrow entryways can be a blessing at times to accentuate the look of your home, particularly when treated well. Some ideas we think may work are the addition of mirrors.
Since mirrors reflect light, the entryway looks brighter and more appealing to the visitor. You could also play around with lights as this gives the visitor a larger than life feel and use simplistic decor that compliments the lights you use. Make sure you are removing clutter and placing just what is essential to exalt the look.
How do you decorate a small entry foyer?
Maximising space is an art. While it can be painful to manage a small entry foyer, some of these hacks might help. Try using a glass rack, that cuts off visual clutter and doesn’t block the view.
Use the walls effectively by putting up good light shades of wallpaper and creating racks on the walls instead of investing on standalone shelves. This helps use space effectively, giving the foyer a larger look.
