These Charming Entryway Ideas Will Leave a Lasting Impression (2024)

A combination of organic textures make a bright, white space feel warm and welcoming. Here, interior designer Marina Hanisch layers a jute rug, natural woven poufs, ceramics and a wooden bench.

Turn your entryway into a stylish mudroom by building creative storage solutions, like built-in cabinets and benches. The finishing touches? Beautiful baskets and a fresh coat of Benjamin Moore's Parsley Snips.

While you might not be willing to embrace the wallpaper trend in a larger room, an entryway or foyer is a great place to try it out. Use a temporary stick-on version if you're still unsure.

Associated with love and happiness, pink is a perfect hue to welcome your guests. Interior designer Abby Gruman uses pink polka dots for the walls and a pink and white stripe pattern for the entryway bench — bringing in pretty pops without going over the top.

Celebrate an iconic color combination in the entryway, as Weeth Home does here with bright, white walls and a jet black entryway table.

From the old-world china cabinet to the lantern-style chandelier and medallion rug, interior designer Maggie Griffin brings vintage-inspired elements into an otherwise modern space.

Sometimes, more is more. This wallpapered entryway wouldn't be complete without the matching ceiling, wainscoting and fresh greenery.

Give your children a space to store their belongings, so they don't end up scattered around the house. Here, designer Emilie Munroe prioritizes stylish built-in storage — adding a mudroom seat and a place to display homemade artwork.

We love the way this fun, modern light fixture contrasts with the traditional medallion area rug underneath. There's also something to be said for the mini gallery wall and chic console table (aka, a place for all your tchotchkes!).

Because the woven material holds up well to foot traffic, jute is a great choice for entryway rugs. Plus, they're ideal for families with pets or small children since they resist stains and scratches.

The overall style of this pastel entryway requires serious commitment, but the individual decor elements don't. For example, you could incorporate a statement door, wainscoting or a bold color palette in your home with minimal effort.

If you want to impress guests, don't shy away from mixing prints in the entry. The Mendelson Group embraces floor-to-ceiling pattern — from the geometric floor tile to the metallic wallpapered ceiling.

Go for something a bit more maximalist, like this vibrant gallery wall against a mint green backdrop. We love the gold frames, bright hues and creative mix of artistic styles.

Just because your door opens right into your front staircase doesn't mean you can't still make a statement. We love this minimalist bold stripe paired with a faux cowhide rug.

Take a note from designer Abby Gruman and go for a long built-in bench. The best part? With potential storage beneath, you can add decorative baskets for an easy place to store shoes, umbrellas or outerwear.

Not only does this overdyed rug make a statement in this entryway, it's highly functional. Doormats help protect your floors and catch dirt or water from your shoes as you enter.

The painted floor in this entryway makes a serious statement (and one you might not be willing to commit to just yet) — but the antique finds are just as bold. Hit the nearest thrift store to see if you can make someone else's trash your entryway treasure.

From folded towels to decorative bins, each side of this doorway appears almost identical — a great way to make your entryway feel clean and organized.
