The Complete Entryway Buying Guide
An entryway is often the smallest room you'll furnish, but it sets the tone for everything past the front door. Here's what actually matters when shopping for one.
A lamp with real presence
If your entryway has room for a console, a lamp is the easiest way to give it both function and personality. Paloma Table Lamp brings modern glam with a trendy cutout design and faux marble base, substantial enough to anchor a console without overwhelming it. Fillmore 16" Table Lamp leans more vintage, with a concrete textured ceramic base and brass accents that add a touch of glamour.
Lighting that doesn't need floor space
If your entryway is tight on surface area, a wall sconce or flush mount handles lighting without eating into limited square footage. The Hello Wall Sconce works as a 2-in-1 plug-in or hardwire fixture, easy to install regardless of your setup, while The Wave Flush Mount adds shape to the ceiling with a scalloped shade and brass trim, staying low profile enough for a smaller entry.
A small rug to define the space
Even a narrow entryway benefits from a rug that visually marks the transition from outside to in. A smaller-format piece from the Icon collection, built to handle real foot traffic and moisture from shoes, holds up well in this high-use spot.
Wallpaper for instant personality
An entryway is one of the lowest-risk places to commit to a bold wallpaper pattern, since it's a small space you pass through rather than spend hours in. Daisy Bloom brings graphic, vintage-leaning personality, while Waverly House, the collection's namesake hand-painted print, sets a warm, storybook tone right at the front door.
