To create a welcoming first impression, your entryway should look attractive inside and outside. We have your guide to keeping it organized and making it stylish, while also coordinating the decor on both sides of the door.

Keep It Tidy

For your visitors’ sake and yours, you’ll want to maintain a neat porch and entrance. This will make coming and going easier and more pleasant.

Outside, sweep debris off the stairs and clear away any cobwebs around the doorway. Wipe down and brush off patio furniture. Not only will your curb appeal improve, but your home will also be safer to approach.

Clear your walkway with a Harper wet and dry push broom.

Inside, it’s important to have a designated area to place shoes, coats, keys – anything you need to take with you when you leave the house. This will help everyone remember the necessities and it will keep the entryway clean.

You don’t have to have a large foyer. A cube organizer provides efficient storage.

With a few simple changes, you can make your home’s entrance inviting for guests and usable for your family.

Make It Stylish

You can stop at simply establishing a tidy entryway. But why not add some beauty and personal flair?

Start by looking at your home’s architecture and thinking about your style. Do you live in a Craftsman home and you love pops of color? Try a matching pair of Kittredge planters in cobalt on either side of your front door. Bring the color inside with decorative fabric bins in blue.

Are you in a ranch home that has a minimalist style? Choose a terracotta-colored Giacomo planter or two for your porch, and keep your storage system simple yet warm with a natural wood tone.

Install a Modular Closet system in Sand by your entrance to organize the family.
