Over the years, we have shared a simple formula for decorating your entry–ground the space with a small rug, add a console table, style with a mirror, greenery, art, and baskets.

Even in large homes, sometimes there is often no formal entry. House plans often have you entering straight into the living room or the staircase. Or maybe you have a little entry, but doorways for the front office and guest bedroom take up any wall space. We’ve had to design around all these issues too. Today we are sharing a few different ways we’ve created a warmer welcome no matter the size or layout of the entry.
