The entryway and hallway in our home has basically been untouched since we moved in. It feels flat needs something to give it life :)) Suggestions would be amazing ! I’m lost

    Gorgeous light fixture! What if you traded your existing rug for a runner down the hallway? That way, your eyes are drawn into the home. Even better: draw them up by painting or wallpapering the ceiling something unexpected. It would look amazing 🤩

    I also recommend a slim entryway table underneath the mirror to style some decorative pieces and add your personality to the room. Do you feel like you need more storage in that area? Maybe hanging some baskets like this underneath where your hooks are to hide somethings you might not want in the open?

    hi @SarahKrock! your home is so, so gorgeous! what about wallpapering or painting the stairs? or, if you wanted to add some cushioning to them — what about a fun rug or carpeting? I love what these homeowners did to their stairs! please share photos of whatever you decide to do :)

    I love the windows to either side of the door, with the green leaves visible beyond. Lovely!

    My ideas are similar to what others have said — add color (rugs! Maybe art? I love the idea of photos going up the stairwell wall.) Add a narrow table or shelf under the mirror for mail, keys, other stuff you need on the way in or out of the house. Your entry is admirably clean and empty of clutter, which is impressive. But it also looks like no one lives there. Just a few personal touches would make it come alive.

    Some super simple ideas, I just kept within the current color scheme. Not sure if you want to paint or go big with alterations. I'd also add some artwork up the stairwell. Definitely a more formal entry approach. And of course flowers in the vase haha.

    wow i really love the paint color and the existing mirror! i agree with adding some sort of bench or console table underneath. if you go the console table route, depending on the length of the piece, you could also add some upholstered storage ottomans underneath for a little bit more color/pattern

    The table looks great! I was going to suggest a galley wall going up the staircase, and I second or third the runner up the staircase; I think this will make everything seem more polished, colorful, and finished!
