Inviting Foyers

Foyers, one of the most important areas in the home, set the tone for guests as soon as they walk through the front door. Serving as a waiting and reception area, foyers are usually where first impressions are made. If your foyer can use a facelift, sprucing up this area of the home can be both fun and simple.

In smaller foyers, where space may be an issue, adding windows will bring in more natural light. New lighting fixtures and large mirrors will give the effect of a larger room. Painting and wallpapering are one of the most cost effective ways to make an immediate impact. By changing the wall color of your foyer, the room can give the illusion of more depth and distinction.

With a larger foyer, adding an elegant light fixture such as a chandelier, gives the room certain stateliness. In addition, incorporating hardwood, marble or stone flooring will differentiate the space from the other rooms in the house. Bringing in furniture also adds to the visual impact.

Have fun with your foyer and allow it to make a unique statement in your home!
