Shelly’s Guide To Foyer Interior Design
Create a stunning first impression with your foyer interior design. As the main entry to your home, your mudroom or foyer sets the tone for how guests experience your home.
If you’ve been interested in upgrading your foyer or entryway, our team at Shelly’s Interior Concepts can transform this space. As your shop-from-home interior decor provider with a special focus on window treatments, we can help set the space with key design elements.
Read on to discover our guide to foyer design.
The Importance of Foyer Design
Your foyer is more than just an entryway—it's where your home first makes a statement. Your foyer or mudroom is the first thing guests see when they enter your home, and it should reflect your personal style while being functional.
A well-designed foyer can make your home feel more welcoming and organized with designer touches like custom window coverings and other decor accents.
Set the The Focal Point with Blinds for Doors
Doors with glass panels are common in foyers, and an excellent way to control light and privacy into your entryway spaces are innovating blinds.
- Vertical blinds are an excellent option for large sliding glass doors, as they can stack or split to the left, right, or center of the door for full coverage or easy access to the views of the outdoors.
- For doors with smaller inset windows, horizontal blinds provide a classic look. We recommend Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds due to their smaller slat sizes and color and texture options to go with any foyer.
For A Softer Look, Try Shades for Doors
Shades offer a softer look for foyer doors compared to blinds. Some popular choices include:
- Roman shades for a classic and structured look of elegance.
- Roller shades for a clean, modern appearance.
- Cellular shades to protect the space from air leaks and add insultation to the space.
Window Coverings for Sidelights
Don't forget about your sidelights—those narrow windows flanking your front door! If you’re interested in covering the glass inlaid into your door, then window coverings for sidelights are equally crucial for privacy and light control. Options include:
- Custom-fit cellular shades.
- Sheer shades, which combine the look of sheer fabric panels with movable opaque slats that control light and privacy.
Shop Beyond Window Treatments For A Fully Designer Space
While window treatments are a crucial aspect of foyer interior design, other elements contribute to the overall look and feel of the space.
- Fabrics and Upholstery: Your soft surfaces go beyond function and add style and comfort to any space in your home—including your entryway, mudroom, or foyer. Consider adding an upholstered bench or chairs for seating, and use the same fabric to create custom drapery or throw pillows to add pops of color.
- Custom Wallcoverings: Color is a great way to personalize your space, and modern wallpaper is one great way to add even more print and texture into a space. Not interested in wallpaper? Then try a new coat of paint! Consider a two-tone paint job with a chair rail for added interest.
- Pro Tip: Light colors make the space feel larger and darker hues add a more intimate, cozy feel to expansive entryways.
- New Flooring Options: Your floors should match the style you’re going for. Many homeowners select tile for durability and easy maintenance or employ the same hardwood for a classic, timeless look throughout their entire first floor. Luxury vinyl plank for a cost-effective alternative to wood that offers both durability and great views.
Putting It All Together
When designing your foyer, consider how all these elements work together. Your window treatments should complement your paint color or wallpaper, while your flooring should provide a solid foundation for the entire design.
