FABULOUS FOYERS! IDEAS 1 - 4

Foyers are one of my favorite small delights! They allow the home owner to introduce their home to family, friends, neighbors and guests with their own creative style...in 5 items or less. Great rooms come in small sizes!

Greet your guests with simple, clean elements. I love the contrast between the dark floors and white chest accented with dark hardware. The 2 stools allow for people to sit and put on their shoes, this is the splash of color for the foyer.

There are several wonderful items that are done well in this foyer. First, the detailed prairie front door contrasted by window side panels. The tray ceiling with trim work adds depth. I know this costs $$$ but, the ceramic tile floor is stunning!

This look can be used in older homes or newer homes. The half walls allow definition yet separation. Adding a curved arch or keep it simple with a straight soffit continues the intrigue.

Don't be afraid to install double doors! The rich dark colors are offset with the window paned doors and bronze door hardware. Add personality with print lamp shades.
