MAKE AN ENTRANCE: 11 IDEAS FOR A DOWNRIGHT-FABULOUS FOYER

Like a great handshake or a welcoming smile, a f a b u l o u s   f o y e r can make a great first impression of your home. Make an impression with a beautiful ceiling light fixture or a patterned stair runner, large-scale graphic artwork or bold wallpaper. Whatever your personal look is, a few accessories can elevate your foyer from just a place to walk through to a room, where friends will want to hang around. Add a foyer console table with a chic lamp, a painting, or even a chair or bench.
