When guests come to your home for the first time, give them favorable first impressions about your house by welcoming them to a beautiful entryway.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise when you get to your home every day after a long exhausting work day, welcome yourself to a serene house from the very first moment.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few tips to design an entryway that not only creates a warm welcome to your guests, but also gives you a nice welcome back every day.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Clear the clutter<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/clear_the_clutter.jpg\" alt=\"Clear the clutter\" width=\"600\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/clear_the_clutter.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/clear_the_clutter-300x208.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>No cluttered space ever looks welcoming!<\/p>\n<p>So your first step to decorating a nice welcoming entryway is to clear all clutter.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you choose minimal decoration, your entryway will look more spacious and more appealing just by leaving it clear of clutter.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Get a rug<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/get_a_rug.jpg\" alt=\"Get a rug\" width=\"600\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/get_a_rug.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/get_a_rug-300x208.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Leaving the floor bare makes the space look colder; a nice colorful rug adds brightness, softness and warmth.<\/p>\n<p>One more benefit to rugs is that they help define the space.<\/p>\n<p>However, when choosing a rug for an entryway, make sure to get something fairly flat so that the door can easily open and close over it.<\/p>\n<p>And consider cost versus durability. For instance, if you choose an old antique rug you get excellent quality that can probably handle a lot of wear and tear, but this quality comes with a high price tag.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, if you choose something cheaper, it might not be nearly as durable but it will not be nearly as expensive. You can easily replace a cheap rug when it starts to wear down.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Add a mirror on the wall<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11604\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/mirror_on_the_wall.jpg\" alt=\"Add a mirror on the wall\" width=\"600\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/mirror_on_the_wall.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/mirror_on_the_wall-300x208.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A mirror makes the space look more spacious and it adds more light as well.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, a mirror gives you a chance to check your appearance before you go out and it also gives your guests a chance to do so before they go in if they want.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Create a drop zone<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/drop_zone.jpg\" alt=\"Create a drop zone\" width=\"600\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/drop_zone.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/drop_zone-300x208.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Having a dedicated, organized and stylish drop zone for all of your daily needs will keep the space looking neat at all times.<\/p>\n<p>A spot to drop your keys, hang your coat and keep everything you will need for the next day right where you left it is invaluable.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you do not have enough space for a closet in your entryway you can still find solutions to keep the place orderly.<\/p>\n<p>Try a narrow console table for tight hallways as a place to drop your keys or leave your outgoing mail, and hang some hooks on the wall for coats and bags.<\/p>\n<p>A docking station to charge all your electronics can also be very useful here.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Have a seat<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11605\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/seat.jpg\" alt=\"Have a seat\" width=\"600\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/seat.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/seat-300x208.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Add form and function by adding a place to sit wherein you and your family can sit down to take off your shoes before you enter the house, or put your boats before you go out.<\/p>\n<p>There are interesting seating arrangements you can look at and find something that suits both your needs and the available space.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Let your walls tell a story<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11606\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/wall_story.jpg\" alt=\"Let your walls tell a story\" width=\"600\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/wall_story.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/wall_story-300x208.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Create an interesting story by decorating the walls of your entryway with family photos, they always make guests feel at home and get conversations started.<\/p>\n<p>There is something incredible about real framed photos in the age of digital ones; they bring back memories and evoke a sense of time and place in a way digital pictures just cannot.<\/p>\n<p>Hanging an intriguing piece of art can accomplish the same goal as well.
