We've rounded up our favourite entryway styles will have you thrilled to walk in the front door.
We all need a relaxing clutter-free space to welcome us home after a long day, so we asked our home & style director, Ann Marie Favot, to tell us what she loves about these inspiring, chic and functional entryways that will greet you (and your guests) with style.
1. ELEGANT TRADITIONAL

“I love the hits of black and gold in this traditional entryway – so sophisticated! The chest of drawers is great for storage, and the stool is functional yet small enough to be picked up and moved around easily.”
2. MIXED MODERN

“This is the ultimate design for a narrow entryway. The oversized mirror re ects light and the Lucite table gives the illusion of more space. Both items pair perfectly with the bold pattern of the wallpaper and seat upholstery.”
3. COLLECTED COASTAL

“This design really speaks to me. I love the curated feel of this area and the mix of form and function. For example, the storage baskets have lids to conceal everyday items, leaving space on the console to display art and objets.”
4. SOPHISTICATED COTTAGE

“This entryway has ample storage, which makes it amazingly practical, and yet the space is so serene and soothing – perfect for coming home to! The patterned runner adds just enough interest to the subtle palette.”
5. REFINED NATURAL

“This entryway area features the best of both worlds: a functional cubby space with lots of storage and an elegant desk for reading and filing mail. And they’re beautiful to boot. What more could you ask for?”
6. LAYERED ECLECTIC

“If you don’t have space to stow your fancy luggage, why not put it on display and use it as extra storage? This space feels perfectly decorated with its mix of shapes and textures. I love the juxtaposition of textures in the mirror, lamps, table and luggage in this chic design.”
