First impressions are everything in the home, and as such, an entryway is a key area to introduce your house's design scheme to guests. For minimalists and maximalists, a rule of thumb: don't overdecorate, less is always more.
Case in point: Dakota Fanning's stunning, modern minimalist entryway, which is sparsely decorated with a wood sidetable adorned by mirrors (like this beautiful piece from Walmart), a single, velvet chair, and soft lighting. The white paint serves as a calming foundation upon entry.
