Home Reno: Front Entry Way Edition

Your entryway is the first impression your guests get and I believe it should be a memorable one. After moving into our forever home, five years ago, we left pretty much everything as it was from the last owners. I diverted a little money from the travel fund to spruce up a few areas of our home.

Colour Palette: Rosamilia Green 592
Why: Green is synonymous with nature or the environment and therefore connotes growth, vitality and renewal. It fits nicely in a country home.This colour is great for a feature wall.

Bench:
Seo Solid Wood Flip Top Storage Bench
Why: The dark brown stands up nice to the green paint. It’s a sturdy piece and functional, as built in storage reduces clutter in your entryway. Plus it’s nice to sit down and put your shoes on.

Coatrack: Monarch Contemporary Coat Rack
Why: Inspired by nature without being cliche. It holds lots of coats; and trust me we need a heavy duty rack. It comes in both black and white; either would work in the space.

Mirror: Aycock Country Distressed Wall Mirror
Why: This beautiful mirror is feminine and has a vintage feel; the white stands up against the dark bench. The details add some interest to the room.

Decoration: Butter Yellow Throw Pillows
Why: These pillows placed on either end of the bench are perfect accents. With the detail on the mirror a solid coloured pillow is better than a patterned one to avoid a ‘busy’ feeling.
