Entry doorway ideas

This house, designed by Amsterdam-based firm Atelier ND, is all about fun—which is clear from the moment you step inside the foyer. A dusty lavender paint color is used for the door and window frames while a peachier tone covers the ceiling, corresponding nicely with the light-stained herringbone wood flooring. The wallpaper ties all the shades of pink and purple.

Keep It Small But Mighty

To bring some color to your entryway while keeping it casual, lean some oil paintings on the floor under a narrow console table. We're loving the eclectic vibe of the houndstooth area rug, antique table, and farmhouse pitcher in this space by Andrew Flesher.

Customize an Organization Zone

Customize an entryway workhorse that gets everything done in one piece! A floating bench and storage piece in this entrance by Kureck Jones proves just how useful it can be. With two drawers for essential eyesores and a surface for a lamp and a small bench with a comfy cushion, this two-in-one built-in has it all. Plus, there's still room for a mirror and plenty of wall hooks.

Marry Old and New

Australian interior design team Arent & Pyke is known for its keen eye for blending modern finishes and accents with period features and antiques. It's possible to master, even in tiny spaces like this entryway! A small marble floating shelf is supported by a bracket that mimics the classic wainscotting, and a rich Art Deco rug brings tons of color and fun.

Go All Out With Gallery Walls

Designer Lathem Gordon created a luscious gallery wall of black-and-white photographs in gilt frames to spruce up the small entryway in her Georgia home. Gray paint cools off all the flam shine.

Hang a Pet's Portrait

Commission an artist to capture a hyperrealistic portrait of your pet to hang in the entryway to greet you and your guests each time you walk through the front door. We're loving this foyer by Romanek Design Studio. The juxtaposition between the dog's serious expression and the laidback floor tiles, throw pillow, settee, and sconces create a fun air of irreverence.

8

Squeeze Into a Corner

Even a corner can become a proper entry with the right accessories. Designer Sarah Solis couldn't fit a large round center table in this entryway so instead, she nestled a smaller and taller option into a corner for a similar effect and then spruced up the floors with a colorful area rug.

Make a Statement With Artwork and Materials

In this New York City restored industrial loft, Bunny Williams Interior Design and the architecture firm Ferguson & Shamamian used the entryway as a way to set the scene for what's ahead: an impressive art collection, period elements with contemporary spins, and airy, light colors. A foyer is an ideal place to hang a favorite piece of art for maximum impact. This entry hall lets the client's artwork and the stunning bones be the stars of the show.

10

Use a Daring Color

Lipstick pink might not be the most obvious choice for a foyer, but in this 19th-century Brooklyn townhouse, it's a total showstopper. Designer Jonathan Berger, who used Benjamin Moore's Razzle Daz, played up the historic glamour with a Louis XV chair and table and an 18th-century Italian mirror.

Blend It In

Because Lauren Waters's elevator opens right up into the entire open floor plan space, she needed to make it feel like a foyer, living room, dining room, and home office all at once. So She placed a full-length kitty corner mirror in the corner next to a boucle womb chair. It's pretty but also makes outfit approvals and shoe lace-ups easier. On the other side is an industrial pedestal table with a small catch-all for keys.,

12

Add Animal Print

Designers love animal prints for stair runners—they're great at camouflaging muddy footprints, spills, and other wear and tear from daily life. Garrow Kedigian used Stark's classic Antilocarpa for the stairs of his Montreal townhouse in homage to the region's fur-trading history.

Feature a Prominent Instrument

What better way to make a grand entrance than with a grand piano? In this entryway designed by Dallas-based decorator Jean Liu, the glossy black piano asserts a stately, formal air while the light wood flooring, modern glass elements, and worn leather pieces ensure a grounded welcome.

14

Pack It All In

If you're working with a pint-sized entryway, you can still make it feel grand. Case in point? This foyer designed Tamsin Johnson. All it takes is a chic mirror, accent chair, umbrella holder, and a couple of hooks. With the right pieces, yo^{u can stretch just a few items into a sculptural statement.}

Utilize Smart Storage

The coral skirted table isn't just striking—it also hides the family's clutter. "It has a lot of stuff stored under it on a shelf—baseball mitts and Wellington boots," says designer Tom Scheerer, who worked with Quadrille to create the lattice wallcovering.

16

Invest In Custom Builds

Designed by Corey Jenkins, this little nook is another great example of a small but impactful entryway. He maximized limited space with a built-in bench and slim side table for keys and other essentials. Then he covered the wall in an eye-catching blue wallpaper to break up all the white space. It's the perfect complement to the chevron throw pillow and graphic artwork.

Embrace Old-School Styling

Architect James Carter and designer Jane Hawkins opted for a low-ceilinged entry with an up-and-down stair landing in this newly-built (but old-looking) country house. "When you enter, it feels like a tiny cottage. We wanted to delay the drama," says Carter.

18

Let Light In With Glass Panels

The inky pigment and sharp angles of the light fixtures and graphic area rugs assert a modern edge to the foyer, which also gets just a splash of old-school decadence with an ornate console table. It's eclectic without being jarring. Also, pro tip: If you're redoing the entryway, consider flanking your front doors with glass panels to flood the entire space with natural light.

#blueandwhiteforever

No one does blue and white quite like Mark D. Sikes. He piled on the patterns in this Beverly Hills foyer, mixing China Seas wallpaper and textiles with Fermoie chandelier shades and an Elizabeth Eakins striped rug.

20

Fill Negative Space

That awkward space under the stairs doesn't have to be so, well, awkward. Romanek Design Studio spruced up the negative space with an elegant settee and set of small frames that work with the scale of the niche but speak to the other design concepts of the room, like the black and white stone tiles and elaborate chandelier. An architectural stool and modern accents bring the perfect balance.

An elegant foyer introduces your home’s personality and welcomes your guests—these AD-approved entryway ideas are guaranteed to make a stylish first impression

By Mitchell Owens and Rachel Davies

October 28, 2022

Consider the entrance hall your opportunity to sweep guests off their feet. There’s no shortage of entryway ideas; whether visitors are welcomed into a soaring space crowned with a sparkling chandelier, or a cozy foyer with warm wood floors and a bouquet of blooms, the entryway sets the tone for the rest of your home. This transitory spot is the perfect place to showcase a sleek console table and statement mirror, a bold painting or sculpture, or an ornately tiled floor with a vibrant color palette. 

If you’re looking for entryway decor ideas, why not take a cue from some of the most stunning entrances featured in the AD archives to ensure that the foyer of your home is as spectacular as the rooms that follow? You know what they say: You rarely get a second chance to make a good first impression.

  Define Your Color Palette

  Encourage Lingering

  Interior designer Nancy Morton enclosed the loggia of her 1940 house in Boca Grande, Florida to create an entrance hall that doubles as a casual living room, furnished with welcoming seating areas.

  Create an Art Gallery

  At Obercreek, the Hudson River Valley farm of investor Alex Reese and his wife, architect Alison Spear, the stone-floored entrance hall is lined with family portraits, hung frame to frame on the pale gray walls. Heirloom Windsor chairs flank the front door, and the 19th-century settees are upholstered in a flame stitch by Scalamandré.

  Draw the Eye In

  In a stylish Hamptons home devised by Deborah Berke and decorated by Thomas O’Brien, the latter’s pendant lights from Aero join an Alexandre Noll sculpture (far end) and a Donald Baechler painting (right) in the long entrance hall; an Alexander Calder lithograph is mounted at the bottom of the staircase.

  Simplify Your Color Palette

  In the entrance hall of Steven Klein’s home in Bridgehampton, New York, a striking image that he photographed of Brad Pitt pops against the space’s black, white, and brown palette. Horizontal boards amplify the room’s length and the peaked ceiling lends height and drama.

  Embrace Multipurpose

  A custom-made table anchors a New York City apartment entrance hall that decorator Vicente Wolf conceived as a mini-gallery, with works by Richard Prince, Brice Marden, Eric Fischl, and Thomas Houseago. The large space could easily house a splendid cocktail party, since the long table could serve as a bar, if necessary.

  Honor Your Heritage

  Placing family heirlooms front and center in a home can serve as an immediate conversation starter with guests. The 13th-century entrance hall inside this Irish castle was remodeled in the 1830s after a fire; the 17th-century Brussels tapestries came into the family in 1935.

  Refresh Guests with Light and Bright Walls

  Thanks to bright white walls and shimmering silver flooring, the art pieces really pop in the entrance hall of this home designed by Charles Zana for a couple with a blue-chip contemporary-art collection. A deep red Anish Kapoor sculpture greets visitors, while a text painting by Richard Prince hangs opposite a dramatic glass-bead sculpture by Jean-Michel Othoniel.

  Hang a Sculptural Light Fixture

• Add Dimension

  At designer Ralph Lauren’s residence in Bedford, New York, a 19th-century Dutch chandelier presides over the entrance hall. Faux moose head wall mounts and a tall vase add additional dimension to the space, immediately drawing the eye in.

  Maximize Natural Light

  There's nothing worse than stepping inside and feeling like your surroundings have become distinctly more dull. The entrance hall of interior designer Ray Booth’s Nashville, Tennessee, home is backed by near floor to ceiling windows, creating a sense of breeziness and fostering a connection with the property’s exterior.

  Add a Center Table

  In the baronial entry hall of Tommy Hilfiger's Connecticut estate, an antique iron chandelier hangs over an 1840s Gothic Revival library entry table and Martyn Lawrence Bullard–designed stools, which are dressed in a Robert Kime print with a Samuel & Sons fringe trim.

A Poul Kjærholm daybed stretches out in front of the fireplace, and the midcentury French shell sconces are from JF Chen.

  Play with Paint

  At Victoria and Vassily V. Sidorov’s country house near Moscow, designer Gabhan O’Keeffe painted the entrance hall to resemble padded white leather. The black-walnut table’s wasp-waist silhouette keeps sight lines open, and the stone floor features a radiant inlaid pattern of limestone and silver mosaic tiles.

  Bring in Nature

  Even in a New York City apartment, Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent manage to create a home that feels connected to nature. Earth toned flooring, artwork, and furniture—French limestone floor, a Matt Connors painting, and a 19th-century French pedestal table specifically—create a sharp contrast from the grittiness of the city the moment they step through the door.

  Utilize Every Inch

  Interior designer Tino Zervudachi’s black-and-white Paris entrance hall puts every inch of space to use—including the area underneath the sweeping staircase. The space is often used for dinner parties, thanks to those eye-popping red-leather-clad 19th-century chairs.

  Embrace Natural Finishes

  The light-flooded foyer of this Long Island beachfront home by architect Thomas Kligerman and decorator Elissa Cullman welcomes with its warm, neutral palette and natural finishes; the bespoke door hardware is by the Nanz Co. , and the steps are made of reclaimed oak.

  Choose a Durable Rug

  Boasting spectacular views, the entrance hall of a Lake Placid, New York, home by architect Gil Schafer includes a 19th-century gilt-frame mirror from Sutter Antiques, a mahogany trolley from John Rosselli Antiques, and George III side chairs with seats covered in a Bennison floral.

  Keep Things Open

• Try A Floating Shelf

  A floating shelf has a lot to offer: it takes up a smaller footprint, allows for more storage space on the ground than a console table would, and adds some serious visual appeal, too. In the entrance hall of Jimmie Johnson's home in New York City, a FontanaArte mirror hangs over a Wendell Castle shelf.

  Mix Styles and Periods

  In the entrance hall of this New York apartment by Steven Gambrel, a late-19th-century mirror from O’Sullivan Antiques is mounted above a circa-1920 Art Deco console from Florian Papp and a pair of vintage Axel Einar Hjorth stools from H.

  Consider the Door

  You might be inclined to take your front door for granted when it comes to your entryway design, but with a simple coat of paint, watch your space be reborn. In this reimagined Manhattan brownstone, designers Peter Pennoyer and Jeffrey Bilhuber opted for a bright blue paint.

  Go Full Farmhouse

  Especially if your entryway serves as a quasi-mud room, a farmhouse entryway is the way to go. The traditional style is celebrated for its laidback charm and utilitarian approach, and these are exactly the traits that make it a wonderful fit for an entryway, as seen inside this Karin Blake space.

  Embrace Petiteness 

  Even in a small entryway, you can still have plenty of fun. This Robert Couturier-designed New York apartment features a notably slim French Art Deco console from Bernd Goeckler Antiques, a FontanaArte mirror from Galerie Van den Akker and a Cindy Sherman photograph. The wall art is a drawing by Robert Longo.

  Add Open Shelves

  Entryway storage is of the utmost importance. Whether you need more space to store odds and ends, or you just want more room for displaying your favorite knick knacks, open shelving is a perfect way to do so without minimizing visual interest in a space by closing things off. This modernist home’s Charlotte Perriand wall cabinet is particularly stylish.

  Make It Tented

  Tenting a room always adds to the fun, and this Miles Redd-designed tented vestibule is no exception. The space feels almost feels fantastical, with a curtain-like console table mounted at left.

  Go Unconventional

  Depending on the fixture, overhead lighting can create a less than welcoming vibe in a space. Adding a table lamp offers a cozier light source and with the right lamp selection, a lovely decor object even when the lamp isn’t switched on. In antiques dealer and interior designer Jean-Paul Beaujard’s own home, a mirrored lamp does just that.

  Bring in the Patterns

  In this English home by designer Adele McGann, patterns reign supreme. Striped wallpaper, patterned upholstery on the chairs, and an area rug all offer a rich backdrop to the beautiful entryway.

  Add Stools

  In this Aspen ski home designed by Alexandra and Michael Misczynski of the Los Angeles–based design firm Atelier AM, stools add a place to comfortably take off clunky ski boots in the entryway. If storage space is limited in your entryway, opt for stools with hidden storage to covertly stow tote bags, scarves, and the like.

  Add A Divider

  In this Hollywood Hills home reimagined by designer Jim Walrod, a divider adds a soft separation between the entryway and the rest of the living space. The divider matches the ceiling’s wood paneling and acts as an accent wall.

  Roll Out the Area Rug

  Area rugs are the perfect tool for unifying a space big or small. In this Hudson Valley home decorated by Rita Konig, a colorful yet grounded area rug by Robert Stephenson creates a sense of harmony.

  Bring on the Books

  Oftentimes the best design ideas are the simplest. Built-in shelving and loads of books can add a colorful, homey energy to an entryway. Just take the Kate Lester-designed home of Abby Wambach and Glennon Doyle for example. To balance the space, a gallery wall appears at right.

  It’s no secret that mirrored walls can be a life saver in a small space and entryways are no exception. Mirrors grace the ceilings and walls for a cocoon of reflection in this entryway by Timothy Corrigan.

March 8 is coming soon and we decided to talk about what women are especially interested in when choosing an entrance door - namely design and finishes.

Torex entrance doors will not only reliably protect your home from all troubles, but will also emphasize any interior. It is important for us to provide our customers with a variety of design solutions, patterns, colors, glazing.

In this article we have collected the most popular Torex door finishes. And now we will show how they fit into different interior styles. We have indicated the names of patterns and colors of finishes in the captions of the images so that you can immediately choose a door for your home.

1.

Dark, light, bright, minimalistic, ethnic - today there are a lot of modern styles. Concrete elements, lots of plants, colorful details, unusual furniture, geometric lines, lots of white and natural materials — these are the signs that you can recognize a modern interior. The front door can both emphasize the style of the hallway, and become the main accent due to the contrast with the color of the walls.

Light interior and light door

Light doors fit well into the bright interior of the hallway. This combination does not give a contrast, and therefore the interior looks concise and complete. At the same time, if you choose an entrance door in a trendy design with an interesting pattern, geometric lines, they will become the main focus.

Light interior and dark door

Concrete interior and concrete look door

A characteristic element of modern interiors, for example, a loft, is various accessories and concrete-like finishes. A good solution is to fit an entrance door with an identical finish into the hallway. And if you highlight a part of the wall next to the door with a darker color, this will create a contrast. This means that the interior will not be boring, because the door will not merge with the walls.

The Torex range also includes dark shades “under concrete”.

Entrance door with hallway design

Another interior solution is to combine the design of the door with the design of the hallway with the help of accessories. For example, as in the image below, where the circles on the door panel are combined with the clock. The color of the finish "under the tree" echoes the nightstand. This "chip" makes the interior more interesting and thoughtful.

Floral motifs in the interior

You do not always want to cross the design of the door and hallway. For example, floral motifs in the interior are now popular. A simple option is to choose a neutral door without a pattern or with a floral ornament. But it's obvious. An interesting solution is to create a contrast between floral motifs with the geometric lines of the door. This combination is often used by fashion designers and stylists.

Ethnic style in the interior

Ethnic and exotic in the interior is a real trend. Many only add bright accessories in ethnic style - Japanese vases, Chinese lanterns, leopard rugs and blankets. And in this case, choosing the front door is easy. But what if the ethnic ornament is placed directly on the walls, and they themselves are painted in bright exotic colors?

Here it is worth choosing a neutral classic design of the front door. Strict straight lines, a light shade of decoration will not draw attention to themselves, will not create excessive variegation.

2. Classic interiors

Classics in the interior is also multifaceted and varied. And often it requires even more taste and attention to combinations of elements. Strict lines, exquisite furniture, "expensive" materials and finishes, gilded accessories, mirrors in massive frames - this is how we easily recognize the classic style.

Light classic interior and dark classic door

A classic light interior with a lot of beige can be "diluted" with a dark front door with a noble "wood look" finish and a strict geometric pattern.

Classic interior and modern door design

Often you want to deviate from the “classic” rule in the interior = a classic door in the opening. Beautiful classic interiors are also well suited to more trendy finishes of entrance doors. Of course, you should not choose a clear high-tech and bright color. But trendy glazing and restrained geometry will only emphasize the interior of the hallway.

If there are a lot of gilded elements in the hallway, such as lamps, candles, mirrors, this will balance the design.

Bright classic interior

How to balance the rich color of the walls? The answer is quite simple - choose a neutral shade of the door that will blend perfectly. In the image, green walls, gilded picture frames, blue furniture in the image take a lot of attention. And the woody noble shade of the door soothes the eye.

Entrance door with mirror

Another option is an entrance door with a large mirror. The mirror visually expands the space in the hallway and gives more light.

3. Entrance and interior doors in the same style

Both in modern and classic interiors, the trend is a combination of entrance and interior doors. The same finishes of interior doors, which exactly repeat the entrance door, give the interior completeness and accuracy.

Now we produce not only entrance doors, but also interior doors under the BAFA brand. These are high-quality doors made of natural materials, beautiful, reliable and durable. And most importantly, they completely match the finishes of our front doors.

The variety of design will allow you to choose a door for any interior - classic, modern, ethnic, minimalistic. Use unusual combinations or choose proven solutions. We have a huge space for creativity for you.

And we, on behalf of the entire Torex company, congratulate all women on March 8 and wish you creative inspiration, good luck in business and good mood!
