2. When you shop for an entryway bookcase, it's important to consider the height of the bookcase compared to the height and openness of the room. If you have a large, grandly-scaled foyer, a tall bookcase will complement it nicely. However, if we're talking about a 5- by 5-foot mudroom, better go with something a little shorter so as not to overpower the space.
3. A mirror may seem like an unnecessary addition to your entryway, but we'll bet there's no other item that will get more use in that space. Hang a wall mirror in your foyer, entryway or mudroom, and you'll love how easy it is to check yourself before you head out for the day. You'll wonder how you ever got along without it.
4. Pay close attention to proportion when selecting an entryway mirror. Will it hang above a console table? Make sure the sizes are a good match? Will the mirror be the only item in the entryway? Then go large and make a grand statement.
5. Entryway shelving is a simple way to add clean, sophisticated storage to your foyer or entryway. Also known as floating shelves, entryway shelves can display family pictures, collectibles and decorative candles. These little things will warm up any entry point.
6. If you're trying to create a clean, modern look at your home's entrance, entryway shelves are excellent for this, too. Most styles feature simple lines and geometric shapes sure to mod up any foyer. Traditional entryway shelves are available as well.
7. Want to create a really unique setting in your entryway? Do it with some eclectic pieces of wall art. Metal sculptures bring color, texture, and a sense of movement to any space. Bronze and copper are popular choices for wall sculpture or there are a whole slew of other materials that may be easier on the budget.
8. Of course, prints are always a fine way to decorate a foyer or mudroom. Prints as entryway wall art are available in a huge range of styles, themes, and colors. Think about your space before you order a print. You don't want anything too big or too small for the wall you have in mind, and you want something that will complement other furnishings.
9. If you want to bring a real sense of sound and movement to your entryway consider an entryway fountain. Mounted on the wall above a console table or nicely placed in the corner, an entryway fountain is sure to catch the attention of all visitors. They'll love the soothing trickling sound and, if the fountain lights, the romantic ambiance it creates.
