An entryway is a space that you see first when you come in, the space where you leave your things, shoes and umbrella and the space that hints on the decor and style of the whole house. Sometimes there’s literally no entryway in the house but that doesn’t mean you can’t have one. How to integrate or fake an entryway in your home? Here are some ideas.
Build In An Entryway
Even if you don’t have a separate space for leaving your outerwear and shoes, you can incorporate one yourself. Build a cube of framed glass or add walls with glass panels around the entrance door and voila. Yes, it will take some time, effort and money but it’s worth it! You’ll get a separate space for all the shoes, coats and stuff like that, you won’t bring all that dust from the street inside. Glass panels will let light in and out. You can style inside this space as you want adding racks, hooks, consoles and decor of various kinds. Add a door to it if you have pets who can frun out of the house.

Define An Entryway Zone
If building a separete space is too difficult, you can just define the zone with other means. The easiest idea is to place some furniture so that it separated the spaces, and the most popular idea is a storage unit as it will both divide and provide storage space. Your living room sofa can also separate the spaces, and you may add some furniture pieces at its back to make it even clearer. A pony wall can be also a cool solution, and you may add glass or shelves on top of it. Style the entryway nook the same way as the rest of the room to make the look cohesive. Consider the size of the nook and add furniture that you can: racks, hooks, consoles and benches.

Make A Seamless Entryway
A seamless entryway means that there won’t be defined borders that will separate the spaces, and you will have a united space. Highlight your entryway zone somehow: with different wallpaper or color, add furniture that matches and a rug. Such a solution will take less space than the previous two but you won’t get much storage space or a separate entrance nook.
