Generally we think not to judge a book by its cover, however this is not the case with your home. Your foyer or entry is where you receive guests, and it's also where you say your good-byes. So, your foyer gives your guest their first, but also their lasting impression of your home. You should make it warm, inviting and cozy.
Color is one of the most important ways to create warmth.
Once you've decided on a color theme, use it like a thread that runs throughout your home. Artwork is an answer for an empty entryway. It's pleasant to look at and it's a good way to put a little of yourself into the mix. If you have an old photo or painting, update it with a new frame or matting. If you are a collector, this area of your home is a great place to display your collectibles.
