Before: Foyer and Front Door

A spacious foyer feels dark and uninspired, though high ceilings offer potential for a brighter, lighter setting.

White Foyer With Black Front Door

In a huge contrast to its original imposing feel, the entryway is now sunny and welcoming with charming built-in window seats flanking the front door. The door itself is painted black, a handsome pairing with all the white.

Before: Foyer and Stairs

The entry is dark and cramped, with double doors sending visitors straight into a set of stairs. Makeover, please!

White Foyer With Stairway and Dresser

The base of the stairway was painted white which helps it fade into the background and visually lightens up the entry. Thin metal railings add to the airy, delicate feel.
