Interior Design Ideas: Entrance & Foyer
The
interior of your home is a sacred shrine that should welcome visitors,
surround you with a sense of safety and comfort, and reflect your
ideal personality. When a trusted friend stops by to see you,
the very first thought you want him to have is wow, her home makes
me think of her unique qualities. A design plan is needed for
this. Home interior design ideas are plentiful, and you are only
limited in scope by your imagination.
Begin
the revolution of your home at the entrance. A foyer that is both
impressive and welcoming, but that inspires a sense of wonder
from its design, creates a first impression that will last throughout
the rest of the home. Ideally, a foyer with high ceilings and
a chandelier will greet a newcomers arrival, but even the smallest
entrance to the interior of your home can be designed to be attractive,
inviting, and yet grand.
If
your home is small then incorporate "space-enlarging"
elements, such as lighter shade paints and mirrors, to your rooms.
A foyer that is not large enough to hold more than four people
can be made to feel enormously larger with the simple addition
of large rectangular mirrors placed strategically around the area.
Consider the idea of curtains around the mirrors to add the impression
of windows.
When
designing your "first impression", consider placing
three-dimensional art, such as stone or metal sculptures, to face
your front door. Even sculptures that were originally designed
to be in gardens or lawns can have a place in your home if you
are feeling creative. Think of your options for your foyer that
coincide with your own personality, and continue this idea of
self throughout the rest of your home.
After
taking the time to design the first part of your home interior,
you may then begin to flow through the rest of the house using
the same theme or something radically different. The only rule
to live by is this: just design and decorate with what you enjoy.
There
are many more furniture articles in our furniture
section. There is more specific information in the links at
the beginning of this article. They can guide you where you need
to go.
Think
about your Rear, Dear!
Furniture can look great, but if you do not like sitting on it,
I have one question. WHY?
Pillows
can add color and comfort.
Instead of spending money on furniture, try a new color and/or
pattern for a new look.
Don't
fill the whole space.
Too much furniture in a room can do the opposite of what you want.
It keeps people out.
