How to Decorate an Entryway

  1. Keep the path clear

    Measure the space and keep a clear walkway of about 36 inches, and make sure the door can swing fully open.

  2. Choose the anchor piece

    Pick a console, bench or cabinet sized to the wall. In narrow halls, look for pieces 10 to 14 inches deep.

  3. Layer the lighting

    Pair an overhead fixture with a lamp or sconces so the space feels welcoming at night.

  4. Size the runner to the space

    Choose a durable, washable rug or runner that leaves a few inches of floor showing on each side and clears the door swing.

  5. Finish with function

    Add a mirror, hooks for coats and bags, a tray or bowl for keys, and closed storage for shoes.

Entryway Questions

How do I decorate a small entryway?

Use wall hooks and a floating shelf instead of a console, hang a mirror to open the space, and add a slim shoe cabinet so the floor stays clear.

What size rug for an entryway?

Choose a rug or runner that leaves a few inches of floor on each side and doesn't catch the door. A 2x3 or 3x5 rug fits most entries; long halls suit a runner.

How much does it cost to furnish a entryway?

It depends on the size of the room, how many pieces you need, what you're keeping and the quality of materials. Set a budget before you shop and spend most of it on the pieces you use every day. With Spacejoy, you share your budget and your designer plans the entryway within it.

Can a designer design my entryway online?

Yes. You share photos and measurements of your entryway and your style, and a Spacejoy designer plans around them. You get 3D designs of your room and a shoppable list. Packages are priced per room.
