Design Brief
We are a pretty big family, two adults, three kids, and a doggo - so the entryway had to be designed in a way that avoided clutter. However, I was pretty clear on the design theme, and it had to be the perfect mix of French Country and Farmhouse. I feel that when combined, these two concepts can create something gorgeous. We have an open floor place, so this space connects to our kitchen, dining room, and sitting room. Hence, the entryway has to be a part of the overall design of the home. One thing that I definitely wanted to include was a big and beautiful mirror right next to the door along with a table or bench - to marry style and functionality. I was also looking for a way to decorate the wall, off the stairway in the entrance space. For colors, neutrals, blues, and earth tones were a clear preference, and I didn’t want bright colors like Orange, Purple, Red, or Pink. Nothing against them, but they don’t go with my style!
