Foyers & Entryways

 

 

The foyer, or entryway, whichever you like to call it, is the first room seen when entering your home. The foyer sets the tone for the rest of the house. This is a space that requires ingenuity and imagination. Most of us enter our home through the garage door however, our guests do not. Read on to find out how to make a good first impression and invite good fortune into your abode.

Foyer Feng Shui

Feng Shui is an ancient practice passed down through the ages of Chinese culture. It is a belief that everything has a quality of energy or “chi”.  Our homes are a compilation of the energy provided by the things within them. When a home or apartment has good energy flowing through the main entrance, the people who live there will have a higher level of well-being.

 

Design Basics:

·        If your foyer has room for furniture, place it carefully. Don’t let it obstruct stairs or doorways.

·        A mirror is a must in the foyer but don’t face it toward the door or you’ll reflect all of the positive energy out!

·       Foyers should appear spacious, well lit and inviting to breathe energy into the home.

·        A mirror expands the space and brings in beneficial light. It’s also a last checkpoint before leaving home!

·        Keep your entry free of clutter. The entrance is your home’s threshold of luck and prosperity. Let it flow!

 

 

 Many home entryways don’t have space for furniture. If yours does you’re in luck! A console table is an excellent way to provide storage for keys, gloves, mail and the like. It’s also a great place to create a display that tells visitors something about yourself and what’s to come.

To keep the entrance free of clutter, provide an umbrella stand, coat rack, hat hooks, or even a basket to hold shoes and other items.

 

A colorful rug is an inviting home decorating accessory, but don’t get anything too expensive since guests will inevitably wipe their feet on it. You'll find some great deals on rugs and more unique home decor here.
