Fabulous Foyers

The foyer is the first thing you see when walking into a house, meaning it completely sets the tone. You’ve only got one chance to make a first impression so you’ve got to make it count! Here are some foyers that I absolutely adore! From bold colors to textures to animal prints, these foyers are great examples of how to do it right.

My first impression upon seeing this whimsical foyer is that the house is fun and eclectic, with colors bursting from odds and ends placed all around. The lighting fixture fits perfectly with the quirky style, too.

It doesn’t get much more timeless than this foyer! It’s traditional, with the open spaces and white walls, but the mix of bright yellow and the classic oversized chair really add some beautiful pizzazz to it. I can just envision the nearby room where we’d drink tea and eat biscuits!

This bright foyer is such a treat for the eyes! The mismatched colors and patterns mixed with the gold table, frame and chandelier is the perfect combination of class and creativity. I’d love to see what the rest of this house looks like.

I love the color and texture of this foyer! It’s warm and inviting and it suggests that the rest of the house will be equally as aesthetically pleasing. The lights brighten it up and make it feel lively.

How fantastic is this foyer? There’s so much red and yet it isn’t overdone. I love the animal prints mixed with the floral prints, and the stairwell and the plant give it great depth. It’s a perfectly done foyer!

As you can see, foyers truly set the tone for the rest of the house. Be sure when you’re decorating that you keep the theme going throughout the rest of the home. Check out this pin to see a ton of great foyer inspiration!
