I believe the entrance is one of the most important spaces in a home. It is the first place that welcomes you in, setting the tone for what follows and helping you transition from the outside world into the comfort of home.
In this large, open foyer, the goal wasn’t to fill the space. It was to create a sense of intimacy without taking away from the architecture. I love how the glass pendants fill the vertical space and add sculptural interest without interrupting the openness or adding visual weight. A glass side table connects back to the pendants, while the marble table introduces movement and natural variation.
A vintage settee beneath the staircase creates a welcoming place to pause or set down packages when coming in from the garage. The custom green leather chairs, artwork and greenery bring color and softness to the architecture.
An entrance doesn’t need a lot of furnishings to feel complete. A few thoughtfully chosen pieces can create warmth, allow the architecture to breathe and help you exhale the moment you step inside.
