If you have a wide entrance foyer, lucky you. Add a short bench for you to sit on while you do up your strappy heels. Find one that has a hidden compartment so that you can store anything you wish, be it your children’s knick-knacks or your leather shoe polish, the possibilities are endless.
Define the space with a colour to create a bold statement. Choose to paint your entrance foyer in blue if you wish to bring more calm into the home, or choose a bright red to inject more energy into the space. Alternatively, pick a neutral but chic colour of Spiced Honey, which is Dulux’s colour of the year.
For an interesting statement wall, create a mirror mural on the wall. This is especially great if you have a dark-coloured wall as the contrast will add some drama. If you are a lover of antiques, this could be the place for your antique mirrors to shine.
To define the space, you can also add a wall paper of your choice to further demarcate the entrance foyer from the rest of the house. Be spoilt for choice with designs that range from florals to abstract paint strokes to add character to the overall interior design of your home.
