6 Items every entryway needs
When decorating our homes it’s easy to overlook our entryways. We tend to first put our focus on bedrooms, kitchens and living rooms, heck the bathroom might get more love than our entryways. I’m here to tell you entryways are just as important as the rest of your home. It’s our homes first and lasting impression. I love when things have a clear place in a home. For example think about a home you have walked into recently that made you feel so welcomed and comfortable. Did you walk in and immediately take off your shoes and jacket and knew exactly where to put them? Did you walk in and want to see more of the house? Now think about walking into someones home and you don’t know where to set your things or hang your coat and how you felt. I’ve put together a list of 6 entryway items you need that will always make your guests feel welcomed and make a lasting impression for your home. check out and shop my favorites in the links below.

6 ITEMS YOUR ENTRYWAY NEEDS:
RUGS - Help keep our homes clean by giving our shoes a place to land. They also let our guests enter, take a pause and take in the surroundings.
COAT RACK OR HOOKS - Coats need to be hung up, its as simple as that. Don’t force your guests to throw their coats on your sofa, chairs or the floor.
BENCH OR CONSOLE TABLE - Give a place to set your things and allow guests a place to gather themselves as the come in or leave.
SHOE TRAY/ BASKET / SHOE CABINET - If you want your guests to remove their shoes when they enter, have a clear place they can put their shoes.
MIRROR - Make your space bright and appear bigger for one, and two the obvious is to look at ourselves.
LIGHTING - Good lighting is important in any space. this can be overhead lighting, natural light, table lamps or used in combination.
Having clear touch points that make sense in that space is what really matters. A few advice tips I can give for any space is to never go all in on a trend and to have fun with the process and remember the finished design should always invoke a feeling of joy and comfort.
