Foyer

It’s about time for you to give the deserving attention to your foyer and I’m here to inspire you. Foyers are the ultimate place in your house to share your personality; it’s the place where you have the chance to show to your guests how you like to live and what they can expect to see in the rest of the house. In another words, you can set the mood of an entire house right in your foyer.
Foyers should be inviting and intriguing at the same time. I always recommend to my clients to use low maintenance and durable flooring, since it’s a high traffic area. I also like to add some interest to the decor. You want to make an statement, after all, you don’t want to open the door and see a space that offers nothing but boredom.
Here are some great ideas to transform your own foyer. Don’t be shy, dream as much as you want. We have plenty of options for that!
Top

This decor is kept to a minimal.
Light

Dramatic and chic.
Eclectic

Don’t be afraid to mix some interesting pieces together.
Higher

Paneled walls will always bring any room to the next level.
Two

A mysterious mood is created by this subdivided foyer.
Ceiling

Keep decor to a minimum when you want the architecture to speak.
Symmetry

I’m a big fan of seeing symmetrical harmony in foyers.
Storage

If your foyer is the only entrance into your house, storage should be a must. Make sure to add it in an attractive way.
Hello!

There’s nothing shy about this foyer!
Black & White

Classic with a twist.
American

Large and warm.
Full

Symmetry and beautiful floors.
Change

I love this foyer, but I really think the decor is not appropriate for the architecture of the space.
Home Sweet Home

Useful, without compromising on beauty.
Best Ever

I’ve posted this foyer a long time ago and this is still my favorite one. This is the kind of foyer I’d like to have if I ever build my dream home. I love how large the stairs are and the classic architecture this space offers.
Tick-Tock

This foyer has a warm feel thanks to its furniture and accessories.
Lovely

This is what I mean when I say our foyer should feel inviting and intriguing.
Door

The doors and the floors add some elegance to this traditional foyer.
Beams

This is the kind of foyer that “wows” you every time you open the door.
Where

Bring interest to the ceilings when you have limited space for decor.
Chocolate & Vanilla

Timeless.
Raw

Use an oversized console if you have extra space. Display only items that you love.
Pretty

Well done!
We Can

How often do we see this kind of foyer? It’s is a very common foyer for two-story houses and this is a great way to bring them to life, and make them feel more updated. Change the light fixture for a charming one, add neutral flooring and add some architectural details to the walls to make it more unique and less average.
Pop

This is a great example of knowledgeable usage of color. The color were added with decor and the walls were kept neutral. Balance is always key for a harmonious space.
Turquoise

Open the doors to see the color you love.
Walk

Some foyers were meant to be kept quiet.
Horse

A lucite console add a contemporary and chic feel to this foyer.
Comfort

I can’t have any space in my house that doesn’t have a touch of comfort. An upholstered chair, or in this case, a bench, will always bring some softness and comfort to a foyer.
Look

Stunning details!
Rays

Feeling glamourous? Why not show it off?
Sunny

Sunny foyers are always very inviting.
Update

Keep it neutral when the ceilings are low. A round table is perfect for awkward spaces.
Stripes

I love this look! It’s young, fun and trendy.
Playful

Embrace some color in a creative way.
Flowers

Feminine and elegant.
Calm

This is a very quiet foyer. It feels chic and approachable.
Do you have any favorites?
I think we really can’t neglect our foyers. It’s truly one of the most important places in our home and it should have our attention. I don’t think it’s a place where we need to break the bank to be “perfect”, but it really should make you feel at home as soon you open the door. You, even more than your guests, should feel embraced by it. Nothing is more important than having the feeling you belong to the space you live at, and that usually starts at the foyer.

How are you doing today? Did you miss my posts?
I feel happy I took this little break from the computer, so I could spend more time with my kids. We actually didn’t go to the beach, instead, we went to visit a garden and it was great! I could find moments of peace during this weekend and that’s what I needed.
I’m feeling a little better, stronger and happy for being here, preparing another post for you.
My biggest wish for this week is that all of us feel blessed and at peace.
Have your heart open to simplicity. Great memories are made of moments of understanding, perseverance and openness.
Wisdom is the capacity of acquiring the necessary understanding for the appreciation of each moment given to us.

What beeeeyoooootiful images. So gorgeous! Our entrance hall is teeny-tiny but that doesn’t stop me from snaffling ideas from these gorgeous entrance rooms. Yum!

tons of great inspiration on this post L.!
I’m going to pin all of these foyers because I do dream about having a big one, ours is tiny. I would be happy to have room for even a tiny piece of furniture in it but not happening.
Sounds like you had a nice time with your family Luciane. Enjoy your week!

Great post Luciane, I enjoy it very much, a lot of beautiful places!! Thanks for share.
Hi, its good to be back in blogland…glad you got a break too..I think they do wonders and make me realize what a special place blogland is. You picked so many gorgeous foyers……lovely, each and every one!
You found so many beautiful examples, and obviously many of these homes are quite lavish. My favorites are ‘Tick Tock’ and ‘Turquoise’ because they are a bit more modest and attainable. Love everything about the last image, especially those doors and that barrel vaulted ceiling! But out of my reach.
Luciane,
The “tick-tock” foyer has been an all time favorite for years. All of these are beautiful examples and helpful for all sizes of entry halls.
Thank you,
Karen
Luciane, I’m interested in three of the pictures in regards to seeing how the rest of the house looks. Can you give me the link to the following pictures that you titled “Full”, “Update”, and “Lovely”? They’re all incredible foyers and I’m curious as to how the rest of the house in each place looks. Thanks.
