Style Plan: Colorful Entry Way
I recently completed one of my favorite style plans to date. I don’t have a large entry way in my home and have always dreamed of a home with a nice sized entry where I could introduce visitors to the style of home. My dreams for an entry way will have to wait until we move to a new home, but I love working my creative juices with clients.
This latest e-decorating clients already has one of my dream pieces in her home and wasn’t sure what to do with it.
{Available via Wisteria.}
She loved the eclectic look it provided for the space, but wanted to turn up the color. Also the entry way can almost be described as a wide hallway so we needed a little something for each wall.
Here is what I come up with:
Like always I can’t disclose all of my sources, but I will share my favorites.
The rug that runs down the hallway/entry way was crucial. It provided us with a variety of colors that we could play with on both walls. The rug is available here.
One wall needed to house a drop off station for keys, etc and of course our entry way table needed a mirror above it so that you could check yourself out on your way in and out of the house. It’s a great bargain at only $169.99!
The wall that will house the settee needed a little love above it and I knew right away that I wanted something that was a bit ethnic in style. These are my favorite suzani patterned prints. They come in variety of sizes, colors and patterns. Plus if you just want the print and can frame them on your own they are super friendly on the wallet.

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
What a gorgeous selection for the entry! That settee is so vibrant and I love the fabric!! Everything will look perfect!

I love this design! I have purchased the paint for my entry last weekend. I’m dying to get it up on the walls. I may have to get that fabulous rug, too.
Camila- Fantastic Plan! You really know how to pull a look together. Post finished pics soon!

The entry way does set the tone for the home and without one, the first view a guest gets a glimpse of is important!
I have always loved that Wisteria settee and love the pieces you have chosen for. I am always confused by your reluctance to share sources. I dont feel that is in any way betraying a confidence to your clients and sources are just that, a source, not a secret.
Hi Diane,
I’m so sorry you feel that way, but not sharing all of the sources on a paying clients design board is the norm in the blog world. I can’t give away a whole plan for free when someone paid me for my design services. I hope you can understand that. I share my plans to give readers inspiration and if they like what they see they can contact me for design work or simply take inspiration and go out and achieve the look on their own.

I love your plan and I love the settee – what a statement piece! This is so timely b/c I’m trying to create a little entryway space in our home as well. It’s a challenge when you really don’t have a defined entryway space. Great job! And I love the mirror too – that is great and a great price.
oh yummy! that couch is amazing!
