As we have discussed, there are many things to consider for your new home’s entry. However, breaking it down into the smaller details can really help make it more manageable.

From formal grand foyers, to cozy small entries, and everything in between; your main entry should be a reflection of your style and a welcoming place for you all who enter.

To wrap up our main entry discussion, we will briefly discuss the Interior Entry Room, or Foyer.

• When you walk into your home, what do you want to see?
• WHAT WILL THE FUNCTION OF THIS SPACE BE?
• Do you want to walk directly into your main living space, or great room?
• Do you want a large formal foyer?
• Maybe you just want a small entryway?

Take time to consider what your needs are. If you entertain often, you may need a space to welcome guests and store their items.

Perhaps you don’t entertain much, and your family will only use the garage entry. In this case, you may not need a formal foyer.

No matter what your needs are, it is important to consider these things before starting the design process.

Study your current entry area, and those you have had in previous homes.

• What do you like?
• What drives you crazy?
• What do you wish you had?

This can be a great starting point for identifying your wants a needs for your
interior entry area!
