WOWing Your Entry and Foyer

First impressions when entering a home can welcome your visitors and guests. There are a few inexpensive solutions to updating your entryway whether it be large or small.  Here are a few issues that will take away from the WOW factor that I notice when I walk into a home for the first time.

• Lighting
• Wall Color
• Area Rugs
• Stair Runner

Lighting is always an
issue especially if there is no natural light coming from the front door and there are no windows in the space letting in the light. Changing out your entry light to a brighter light that allows down lighting for the smaller entry way will brighten up the space.  The ordinary flush mount ceiling light blocks light from

up the space.

Open exposed bulb lighting

Adding a hall table if the space allows with a mirror adds interest and warmth to the foyer entrance. Open lighting and white woodwork will make the space appear brighter and not as dark.

 
 Another easy change to brighten up the foyer entry would be through the paint color.  If a deep dark saturated color is used in a smaller entry with no natural light, the space will appear smaller and a bit more confined. 

Dark Entry

A lighter wall color will make the space appear bigger and brighter.  White or a shade of, is always a safe way to go. Color can always be added through the use of pictures and artwork in the entry area.

 The finial touch would be through accessories such as a hall table, sconce lighting, florals and pictures.  Colorful pictures and fresh flowers will always make the entry warm and inviting.  Area rugs or runners can be used in a larger space.  However, if the entry foyer is small, removing area rugs and runners will also make the space appear larger.

Don't neglect the entry way of your home, make this first impression space as warm and inviting no matter how small through lighting, color and accessories.

The Personal Furniture Shopping Experience

I'm so excited about our new venture of beginning our own personal furniture showroom.  We have so many pieces to offer our clients.  From a large selection of table lamps, accents tables, leather chairs and sectionals to framed pictures and mirrors. 

Because we don't have the overhead of a large furniture showroom, we are able to offer our customers better than showroom pricing.  In addition another benefit to our customers, our person attention will be all yours due to our by appointment only showings.  That's right!  Our flexibility and after hours availability is another benefit we offer.

Whether new construction or just replacing that leather loveseat, you will be able to sit in our leather line from Bradington Young and select your seating, arm, leg, cushion and grade of leather for your personal preference.  This again is one of the benefits we will be offering.

If custom window treatments, pillows or anything created for your home that involves fabric is what you're looking for, after the furniture is selected walk over to our fabric room to view a large selection of fabric books filled with a wide array of pattern, colors and styles. 

If paint color for your walls is also another design element you need to add to your space, we have a full line of paint samples from Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore.

If you enjoy the comfort of shopping for your interior space in a more home style personal atmosphere  and   enjoy that one-on-one personal attention.  Call or email us today to set up your on personal furniture viewing.
