Perhaps, the most overlooked yet most important room of the home is the Entry Foyer. This oftentimes ignored area sets the feel and flow for the entire residence. It is one’s first and lasting impression upon entering and leaving their home. And, it is here where one is made to feel either welcomed or disoriented. In effect, it sets the prelude of what’s to follow. By carving out this space, an illusion of depth is created, giving an illusion of grandeur. It is a transition area of circulation and surprise. Whether small or large, foyers are grand areas. They express the largesse of space from which other rooms radiate.
{Abby's Footnotes}
Happy Entry Foyer=Happy Home
Don't be afraid to go bold and express your personality with your foyer. Your foyer is the first room that your guest enters and can provoke an overall mood and tone within your home. A happy foyer equates a happy home. How fun is that white ceramic giraffe in Jonathan Adler's pink foyer? Wouldn't you love to put on your shoes on that plush purple tufted bench in the second pic? Your foyer should shut out the problems of your day and create an oasis full of personal expression.
