Seasonal Entryway Ideas

Take Your Cue From The Seasons

Use nature’s inspiration to create a warm and inviting entryway.  Every season provides us with different ideas and decorating elements. Use texture to add warmth to modern décor, interest to neutral palettes and unexpected charm to small spaces. Dried, faux, cut flowers and live plants can be mixed. Colors of the seasons harmonize naturally and tie the look together. Outfit your entryway with smart storage solutions, like baskets, to make it both stylish and functional.

Spring Foyer Decorating Ideas

First impressions start at the front door and with springtime here, the time is right to refresh and renew your entryway’s look while you welcome the season and your guests. Whether you have a large foyer or a small entryway, here are some smart decorating ideas to welcome guests in style.

Your walls are a great place to add fresh color and new life to your space. Click on the canvas wall art featured here to see how a colorful still life can add color to your room and invite springtime’s blooms inside.

Add a distinctive accent piece with an entryway storage bench in a gorgeous hue. It provides a perfect place to drop mail or hold a guest’s belongings, and its hidden storage becomes a secret weapon against clutter.

A few attractive storage baskets will give your entryway a decorated sensibility while adding storage options to wrangle all those small items that are in your hands when you walk in and out the door, like keys and mail.

Freshen up that first impression with a new entryway rug that adds a new pop of color or design that puts everything in tune with the season. Select one in a different shape to redefine your entryway space a bit.

Summer Entryway Decor Ideas

Add a breath of fresh style to your entryway this summer with a mini-redo on your foyer. Just a few simple accent pieces and you will be greeting your summertime guests with a new look since the last time they stopped by.

Rethink your wall décor by changing out artwork with canvas wall art in a fresh summertime watercolor or vibrant print. An oversized piece of art brings a nice focus to the space that can often get overlooked.

Floor rugs take their fair share of wear and tear, especially in the foyer. Refresh your entryway rug with a new pattern in a fresh new hue to welcome in the season.

Add some greenery with a fluted column planter that adds more presence than just a plain pot can give. Don’t have a green thumb? That’s okay – artificial greenery has the same look with less maintenance needed.

An entryway or console table is shaped just for the small real estate of most foyers and gives you a place to drop keys and mail while looking stylish and smart. Add a pretty collectible or flower arrangement to finish the look.

A handful of decorative baskets makes decorating easy and also offers up a place to wrangle a few accent pieces as well.

Hang a decorative mirror or two and you not only have an interesting wall accent but one that serves double duty too. You can check your hair one last time before you open the door for guests!

Fall Decor Ideas to Decorate to Your Entryway

Time to invite friends and neighbors to come inside from crisp fall days to warm up and stay awhile. Make your entryway a charming, welcoming haven for everyone. Be sure to include a practical element too so that everyone can use it as a first stop whenever they come home.

Your entryway will have style and function when outfitted with a narrow console table. Pick one with drawers or shelving so that it scores with some storage practicality. Corral keys, mail and personal electronics in a decorative bowl or leaf server. Add a few decorative accents like picture frames, inspirational stones, candles or a trio of pumpkins. Add a table lamp that provides the right amount of accent light so that you’re never in the dark whether you’re heading out or coming home.

Fill your favorite large vase with lighted branches to add natural beauty, height and a delicate sparkle to your entryway. Select branches with whithered leaves – or even one without any leaves – to give a true fall feel. If space allows, use a substantial floor vase with a taller arrangement.  It’s another beautiful way to add a subtle glow to the area.

Strategically place an area rug or runner to protect your floors from dirty and wet shoes. Consider using a patterned rug to create visual interest and to hide dirt between cleanings.

Set the tone for the season by combining textures and materials in an eye-catching wall display. Hang a traditional fall wreath with an autumn wall painting. The pieces should have similar colors or patterns. Add a few decorative accents that complement your home’s style, like a sunflower print on burlap or an angel figurine to put on top of that console table.

No coat closet? A coat rack with wicker baskets at the base is perfect to keep jackets within easy reach and to stash hats and scarves. As the weather turns colder, make sure a hall tree is sturdy enough to handle the weight of winter coats.

Don’t let your entryway have all the welcoming fun. Add a touch of the season with a pair of fall pumpkins on the front porch to set the mood.

Keep the whole household on the same page with a decorative chalkboard. It is a charming way to leave messages or schedules for the entire family.
