Entryway Makeover Inspiration
We’re
We haven’t really done anything to the space since we moved in, there are coat hooks up, and a shoe rack, and as I mentioned the bureau in the first space. But I’d like to make it look a little nicer, as well as have better storage. G is planning on building a custom shoe rack that will fit the space under the stairs for me. I cant’ decide whether to keep the bureau or switch it for a sideboard that has more storage. If I keep it, then it certainly needs a coat of paint! I’d like to add a houseplant or two to the main entryway, maybe a mirror to reflect a little more light around and some new art work.
We have a grey carpet down that runs through the whole downstairs, so that will have to stay {as much as I’d love some wooden floorboards!} but I’m thinking maybe a rug or two to add some colour and texture. There is currently an awful old chandelier light fitting, which I’m planning on replacing too. It needs to be a practical space, and I don’t want to spend too much money, but it’s the first part of the house that visitors see so I’d like it to look a bit nicer {and have the mess hidden}.
I’ve been pinning away some inspiration if you want to have a look at what ideas I’m thinking about.
