If you were to open your front door for an unexpected guest, what would your entryway say about you? A “drop zone” of sorts for many, this place of the home can be tricky. If not carefully considered, it can easily become cluttered chaos, littered with kicked off shoes, dropped book bags and forgotten umbrealls. The following room scenes showcase three distinctly different styles, all threaded together by their smart use of the space. Just as polished as they are practical, steal a style move from the designers behind these digs and reclaim your entryway!
For the busy family, this chalkboard entry way is useful and liveable without being an eyesore. Give your entryway a makeover with chalkboard paint, clever shelving solutions and coordinating baskets for a space that is both functional and fashionable.
For this Chicago based family of six, storage in their converted two-flat home was in short supply and high demand! Award-winning interior designer Emily Mackie of Inspired Interiors dreamed up this divine entryway. One part storage solution and on part dressing space for last minute touches, Emily expertly extended the home’s vintage Hollywood glam aesthetic all the way to the front door.
A modern mudroom masterpiece from the interior design and decorator tribe of PROjECT, the marvel of this space is the custom wallpaper, created from the designers editing over 500 Instagram photographs and tapping into the website Muralsyourway.com as a resource for help with the layout and finished product. The result takes personal design touches to a whole new level.
While shelving solutions may have saved the day in these looks, an instant way to revamp your entryway without calling a contractor is by simply adding one of our statement rugs. Mohawk’s premium fibers and quality construction is designed intentionally to stand up against matting, crushing and staining. Also available in a myriad of sizes, from accent rugs to area rugs, there is one perfect for your space and personal style!
