What Style To Rock?

Black and white are extremely versatile and match almost every space and every style, though the most popular ones are modern, contemporary, Scandinavian, farmhouse, vintage. Consider how much black and white you are going to use: lots of black will make the nook moody, and you will need a lot of light to make it more welcoming, and lots of white will make the entryway look bigger and airier, which is often a crucial thing.

How To Style A Black And White Entryway?

Think wall paneling, molding, stucco if it’s a refined space or a farmhouse one – wall panels will be perfect there. A marble floor will be a very sophisticated solution but if it’s too expensive, you can always stick to tiles, laminate and other solutions. If you don’t have a glass door or windows, and the space is small, avoid having a lot of black, otherwise the space will look smaller than it is.

How To Furnish A Black And White Entryway?

Think what pieces you will need to furnish the space: a console, a bench, a rack or several ones, some shoe shelves and perhaps a wardrobe? The number and size of these pieces depends on the style that you have chosen and the amount of space you have. If it’s a minimalist space, limit yourself to just a couple of things and all the others hidden or built-in as you need a sleek space. Style the entryway with a chic mirror and some plants or artworks depending on what room you have. Get inspired!
