They say you only have one chance to make a first impression. The same applies to your home as it’s a reflection of your personality and style. A great foyer serves a dual purpose, first function and then an inviting space to greet your guest. I styled a ‘under the sea’ themed summer beach house highlighting a few key elements to make a greeting entry including: table/cabinet, mirror, chair, empty baskets for keys, newspaper or mail, baskets of pillows or blankets for the porch, potted plants, lighting, and some fun decorative accessories. One could also add a collection of family photos or coat rack/umbrella stand. Don’t over look the importance of the first impression of your home.
