front door entrance decor

what do you have at the front entrance to make it look welcoming?

i currently have a coat rack and a accent bench, but i think i want to get rid of the bench and replace it with something else.., any ideas?

Re: front door entrance decor

inside or outside?
share a pic to get a better idea of colour, space, style etc

Re: front door entrance decor

inside, the front entrance area of ours is very small, which is the reason i'am having difficulty figuring out how to change it up, i will try uploading a picture later.

My house(under constr) will have door opening into a hallway 1.8m by 4. Im planning to have down lights and huge mirror on one wall. Wat else can I have. Any ldeas?

Thanks

Why not stick a mirror on the wall , who ever enters , gets to see themselves all happy and smiling , now thats welcoming , hai na :@:

Re: front door entrance decor

the mirror would make the space look bigger.

i actually like a bench. it's easier to sit and put shoes on. (especially for older guests). and also could store shoes in the bench as well.

if ur space is small, try not to put too much thigns on the floor (like a plant).

Re: front door entrance decor

your right but i forgot to mention i already have a mirror right over the bench :hmmm:

Re: front door entrance decor

a change of paint or a new rug will make a difference too.

Re: front door entrance decor

hmm :hmmm: maybe your right, thanx :blush: i will post a pic of the front soon for a better idea :@:

Re: front door entrance decor

Our entryway is on the smaller side too and I have put an expedit shelve(2x2) from Ikea there. There is also a bench along the wall to put on shoes and an accent mirror hangs above it.
Expedit shelves are amazing as they provide necessary storage and decorating space.

Re: front door entrance decor

Can you please post a pic of Expedit shelves from ikea.
I'm looking for idea's too.
