The foyer is the first thing your visitors see when they enter your home, so it should always make a great first impression. DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Madison, one of the top interior remodeling contractors in the area, has some handy tips to do just that.
1. Keep it organized. Keep your foyer tidy with a few small additions. Add a narrow bench where kids can easily take their shoes off. A shelf with built-in hooks, where you can hang coats and handbags, also helps keep the space neater.
If there’s enough space for a closet with racks for storing shoes and coats, go for it! It’s another easy way to keep your entryway clutter-free. If your foyer is a bit on the small side, a small table is a good place to set keys, phones and other items. You can add a basket underneath the table for storing shoes.
2. Update the flooring. Given that the foyer is a high-traffic area, durable and low-maintenance flooring is a must. There are many flooring options that might fit the bill, including ceramic tile, polished concrete and classic slate tiles. If you’re having trouble choosing, turn to DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Madison, the area’s trusted interior renovation company, for the job. We’ll help you explore your options and decide which flooring best suits your needs and the look of your entryway.
3. Place a rug or runner in the foyer. This helps collect dirt and dust, and prevents it from being tracked into your home. It will also keep moisture off your flooring. When buying an area rug, make sure to choose one with a pattern so that dirt won’t be as visible.
4. Take good lighting into account. Your foyer should have enough illumination. One way to achieve this is to have sidelight windows flanking the front door so natural light can come in. At night, a chandelier or a modern pendant overhead can help light the space. If you have a table in the foyer, add a lamp.
