It's the easiest way to make a great first impression.
Think of your entryway as an extension of your welcome mat: It's meant to make visitors pause a moment and prepare to enter, it assures them that you're happy they're there, and it gives them a preview of your home's (and your) personality—all in a much bigger way than that modest little rectangle ever could.
To help you give your entry a design upgrade, we turned to The Home Depot. You may think of the retail giant as home-improvement central, but it's also a terrific resource for decorating, with an impressive selection of on-trend furniture, accessories, and accents. Fancy up your foyer with these six stylish finds.
Spacious cubbies, gently scalloped details, a padded bench, and a painted finish with a vintage look—this is a cottage-chic combo platter. Store shoes, hang coats, pile up backpacks and sports equipment, and stash the grocery totes you've been meaning to put back in the car. Or just rest a minute before you go about your day.
Every entryway should have a mirror placed where you can take one last glance before you head out the door. (Oops, forgot your earrings!) Softly rounded corners deliver a French-country vibe and frame you beautifully.
For foyers that are on the more formal side, a half-moon console table is a classic element. With tempered glass shelves and a gold-leaf finish, this one feels light and airy, so it's ideal for smaller spaces.
Perfect for high-traffic areas, this low-pile rug looks refined but is actually made of stain-resistant, non-shedding polypropylene. Which means the family can tromp all over it—muddy boots and all.
Whether you're hastily corralling the kids' toys or inviting dinner guests to store their umbrellas, this elegant basket is both decorative and durable. Handcrafted from water-hyacinth leaves, it adds a rustic (but not too rustic) note to a hallway.
Coastal chic meets farmhouse style in this sturdy wooden bench with a woven seat. It's both a perch for putting on your shoes or getting the dog suited up for his walk, and an extra shelf for items you don't want to leave on the floor.
