5 Mistakes Designers Say are Making Your Entryway Look Smaller — And How To Solve Them

Dark blue entryway.

We can’t always choose the size of our entryway. Some are vast and expansive whilst the majority tend to be small and confined spaces. The challenge of the entryway can seem impossible to solve. You’re trying to create space where there seemingly isn’t any. But interior designers have cleverly maneuvered around this obstacle for years. 

As you enter your home, the entryway shouldn’t be a constrictive realm but instead should encourage feelings of warmth and welcome, all the while encouraging movement into the rooms that follow. Experts advise that you keep this area clutter-free and well-lit. They also suggest that you lean into a design style that speaks to you, considering not just light bright tones but also dark deep moody ones too. These tips and tricks help you navigate the sins that have so commonly been committed when it comes to entryways.
