Benches & Storage

Whether you have a quaint entry or a grand foyer, storage and organization is key to the functionality of any space. With so many options, there's no need to stress about how to style your space!

Products like the Baylor Entry Bench offers storage, hooks, and seating all within one sleek purchase. And, lucky for you, there are many products like this which offer style and purpose for your home. The Amani Coat Rack is also a very functional piece, taking up less space, but offering a fun way to showcase coats or purses.

Extra Long Benches

We are particularly obsessed with extra long benches. This new trend looks amazing in longer corridors because it helps to fill a space that might otherwise be too sparse. Not only are they perfect for pulling on your boots, but the extra space can be utilized for styling and bringing personality to the forefront of your home. Here are some of our favorites that are all at least 80” wide!

Mirrors

The right mirror can easily complete any space, and entryways are no different. They are the perfect for checking your appearance before you dash out the door and help to open up more narrow entryways. Set the tone for your home with a funky burst mirror, or add a classy touch with a stunning arched mirror.

This trend may not be anything new, but we just can’t get over these incredible new product designs! Utility mirrors like the Beldon Entry Mirror or the Wellington Entry Mirror are perfect for smaller spaces. Their unique hooks bring extra functionality to this styling piece.

Chandeliers & Pendants

Create a focal point that can’t be missed by adding a show stopping chandelier or pendant, bound to impress even the most critical guest. The Roundout Light Pendant looks incredible featured in our co-founder’s home.

Whether your style is minimal, funky, or traditional, the perfect lighting fixture is the icing on the cake to the entryway of your dreams. A brass fixture can elevate a space with glamour while a more subtle aged bronze finish will provide a more traditional look.

We love runners. The perfect one can completely change the look of any room, so why not change the look of your entry with a new runner? If you love a natural look, a jute option like the Continental Jute Camel Runner is the perfect option.

For a more classic feel, the brand new Hathaway Steal & Ivory or the Rosette Denim & Fog Runners bring a beautiful, traditional feel to any room.

Artwork

The foyer is the place to show off your favorite artwork. From a statement abstract piece to romantic landscape, set the tone of your home with a piece of art that showcases your personality.

Styling Tip: Layer larger abstract works on a console with smaller pieces. For a relaxed vibe, simply lean the pieces on the wall.
