The first room one sees when entering your home is the entry vestibule. Make it pop. Don’t make your entry vestibule just a hallway. Add a rug, a table and some great lighting. When guests visit you, they will be amazed by your home just a couple steps in. Entry vestibule’s are my favorite, because unlike living rooms which require a sofa or a dining room which requires a table, entry vestibules can have anything. Try adding mirror to your entry vestibule, especially on the ceiling. Glass will make a usually small space feel bigger. If you want to paint the ceiling a dark color feel free to. Painting a ceiling a dark color will visually heighten the ceiling. One home I visited had a green striped ceiling in the entry vestibule. If you have more space in your entry vestibule add a couple chairs. Flowers and unique pottery will give your entry vestibule a more eclectic feel. The key to designing a successful entry vestibule is adding what you love. You can add as little or as much to your entry vestibule as you want. Don’t follow rules, just do.
