Just as it’s important for there to be a place to set down gifts or handbags upon arrival in your home, there should also be a place to sit in case a change of footwear is required. Some chairs or a small table are both good options to make an entrance feel cozier, comfortable and prepared for visitors.

The most personal touch of all for a stylish entryway is a work of art that tells guests something about the hosts’ tastes and personalities. Entrances are the ideal space for hanging images as they often provide just enough wall space for a medium-sized painting, photograph, or print.

Mirrors gained popularity in the era before electric light because they amplified candlelight, allowing family and friends to talk, enjoy a drink, and play cards well after sundown.
