I've said it before, and I'll say it again... first impressions are everything. Your entry should be welcoming, functional and stylistically indicative of the rest of your home.
Feeling stuck, because you don’t know how to decorate a long, narrow wall? Here’s the skinny on the entry...
1. Start with a Wow Piece. A one-of-a-kind console table is a statement maker, plus the distressed finish hides any imperfections. Never purchase an entry table that will scratch easily. You want to feel comfortable tossing down your keys.
2. Take a Seat. A place for guests to sit and remove their shoes is a must. Placing ottomans under a table is the perfect way to add seating, without taking up valuable square footage.
3. Go Big or Go Home. Choose sizeable, bold art that says something about your personality. You want to draw the eye up, so lamps should be as tall as possible. A few oversized pieces actually make a small area feel larger.
4. Incorporate Warmth and Texture. Choose a natural material rug that can innately take high traffic and is forgiving to stains.
5. Come Alive. Finally, incorporate plants or flowers, for a natural touch.
Get the above look with these I.O. items...
