A foyer is the perfect transitional space to make guests come to a standstill, in awe and appreciation breaking all their pride and prejudice. By showing off with a statement artwork, intricate sculpture, an exquisite mirror or even a dazzling chandelier an elegant foyer welcoming guests makes a mighty big first impression.
1) Mirror mirror on the wall, whose foyer is the prettiest of them all
A vintage mirror serves as a classic timeless masterpiece giving a sense of royalty and sophistication. A fairy tale inspired mirror with a forest grunge wallpaper or a Moana based sea blue backdrop adds a touch of magical realism when it is of a pretty subtle beige shade with whimsical carvings. Also an oversized, full length mirror leaning against a wall gives a trendy and a bright vibe. In many cultures this mirror also serves as a superstitious tool to wade off evil and welcome only positive energies.
2) Wallpaper fun with a gallant gallery wall
A vivid, contrasting and a playful wallpaper is all the more enticing to look at when coupled with a built-in seating. Keeping the seating colour light and breezy , it can be spruced up by adding an assortment of throw pillows in a wide range of colours, patterns and textures. A creamier foyer wall decorated with a curated collection of personal pictures and candid prints to reflect the family’s best memories. This can easily be updated for decoration during different festive seasons and holidays. A small sofa or a settee with understated pattern can be fixed against these artistic walls for a softer aesthetic touch.
3) Flora, forestry and freedom
By placing simple furniture sets like a foyer table or a console table against the wall in the foyer can be a beautiful space filler. A tall glass vase adorning these tables with beautiful blossoms like magnolia, dahlia or tulips adds that extra touch of beauty. A plain vase of pampas grass also serves an excellent eco-friendly addition. An array of houseplants can act as a lush reminder of an intense nature connect which can be a treat on sore eyes bored of seeing mere skyscrapers.
4) Funky furniture and flashy lighting
A bespoke central table, a daybed or even a pair of patio chairs can be the perfect seating arrangement in the given space. Open shelves set against walls to store tools, books or any odd items with a hat rack provide good storage solutions. Additional stools with hidden secret storage compartments on colourful area rugs can also be used. Wrought iron chandeliers, sculptural light fixtures can actually light up and make this space bright and warm. Quirky neon sign walls with bold messages leave long lasting impressions. Spectacular pendant lights contrasting heavily against a dark themed ceiling stands as a creative spectacle. Foyers can thus act as authentic lawyers of one’s personality serving as a true testament to one’s commitment of loving guest hospitality and welcoming gestures.
