Style a small entryway (pretty AND functional)
The entryway is the first and last image you get of your home. Often tiny, it still has to do everything: welcome, store, set the tone. Here's how to make it both practical and beautiful, even on a metre of width.
Think vertical
When floor space is short, go up the wall: hooks, a high shelf, a mirror, a sconce. A well-used entry wall frees the passage while offering storage. It's the basis of a successful small entryway.
The winning trio: drop, hang, store
A surface to empty your pockets (small console, shelf), hooks for coats, and closed storage or a basket for shoes. With these three functions, the entry stops being a dumping ground.
A mirror, always
The mirror is the entry's essential decor piece: it allows the last glance, bounces light and visually enlarges an often-dark space. Round or arched to soften.
Mind the light
An entryway rarely gets daylight. A sconce or a small lamp on the console, warm light, is enough to make it welcoming the moment you step in.
A rug to define the zone
A small rug or runner resists wear, protects the floor and draws the entry zone, even without a partition. Choose one easy to clean and in a warm tone.
A successful entryway comes down to four moves: go up the wall, drop/hang/store, a mirror, warm light. Start with two hooks and a mirror, and you'll feel the difference every day.
