Creating an Artful Entryway: Inspiration, Tips, and DIY Ideas

by on Feb 25, 2013

Putting together that roundup of clean and bright entryways recently left me feeling inspired and eager to create my own interpretation. There were a few elements that really stuck out as adaptable to any style or space. Read on for tips for creating your own artful entryway!      

I’m really drawn to spaces that have a sense of texture, where you walk in and immediately want to touch everything. Blending different kinds of materials is a great way to bring visual and tactile interest into a space, as well as increase the energy flow of a room!

For me, no room is complete without two things: artwork and a killer rug. I usually start with those elements and work from there, choosing colors and other accessories as complements.

For this entryway, a simple, chunky solid-wood bench helps balance out the energy of the rug and painting, while a structured pop of color above keeps your eyes moving. Basic storage is achieved through a woven rubber basket and angular wooden hooks.
