39 Welcoming Entryway Ideas From HGTV Magazine

A home's entryway sets the mood for the whole space and gives visitors a taste of your personal style. Whether your door opens to a stunning staircase, a fabulous foyer or a cool console, we've got all the inspiration you need to make your entry one you'll love coming home to. So come on in, and see all the inviting ideas.

First up: This refreshing welcome. Homeowner and designer Erin Wheeler juxtaposed a subtle floral peel-and-stick wallpaper with a graphic black-and-white rug. When an entry isn’t that large, a mix of patterns, a chic console, mirror and rug make a major impression.

With its leafy wallpaper by Sandberg, this entryway feels like an enchanted forest. Pairing the wallpaper with an Anthropologie console and the vintage-inspired mirror is a whimsical, winning combo.

The large window in this stairwell provides plenty of pretty natural light to bounce off the white walls and give this entryway a welcoming glow. A navy campaign-style chest from Crate & Barrel and a funky lamp by Stray Dog Designs add personality to the sleek space.

With its vintage chesterfield sofas, pretty purple rug and metallic wallpaper, this super-sized entry—which doubles as a living area—sets the tone for the rest of the home. “This room is a preview,” says homeowner and designer Kim West. “It tells you this isn’t your traditional Craftsman house.”
