Simple changes make an entrance into a warm place to come home to.

Before: The first impression of who we are comes from our entryway so its design is very important. This one is rather boring with beige walls and simple window sheers.

After: In a small space like this, you don’t want to add too much. Clutter in an entry is a concern so fabric-covered walls, simple artwork and a new area rug that ties in with the living room is all that's needed.

Before: Directly across from the front door is a large cabinet made up of two pieces, a buffet bottom and hutch top. Together they are quite imposing and are cluttered with family photos so a change is needed.

After: Neutral walls and the newly painted buffet set the stage for a frame that highlights special photos and some decorative yet functional items including a key plate and buffet lamp. This space is now calm and inviting for anyone entering.
Hosts Matt Fox and Shari Hiller transform a cluttered and unwelcoming entryway into an inviting foyer. A fabric wall treatment, fun family photo project and a revamped buffet/hutch create a warm, welcoming and clutter-free entrance to this home.
