New Year, New Foyer

Entryways for every style...

Beautiful Easy California Style
(Windsor Smith)

Americana/Traditional

Clean Frenchy Chic

Fresh Entryway
Wainscoting almost up to the ceiling, notice
that the wallpaper wraps the whole rest of the room.
Ceiling included!

Traditional foyer with gorgeous table and ottomans.

Beach Casual!

For the artist/book collector (me!)

 

Stunning two story foyer.

 Loving the chocolate brown, hot pink & gold together.

Handsome Little Hall.
The turquoise colored walls & pink peonies are killer together.

 Ah! SO well done!

...and last but not least, The Art Gallery.
Love the Hermes Orange Door!

Foyer Essentials: Table (for setting keys, wallet, etc.), chair or bench, mirror, artwork, chandelier, sconces or lamp, and my favorite, an umbrella stand (mostly for looks!).

Black Walls

Walls painted completely black...
glossy, matte & everything in between! 

Glossy Black Entry Way.

Matte Black Walls.

 Dark and Dramatic Art Studio/Office.

 Sexy Black Paneling.

(Paneling doesn't have to be so bad...)

 Eclectic Bedroom w/ Black Walls.

Dramatic Den with Glossy Black.

Mod Black Dining Space.

Glossy Black.
Classic bathroom with wainscoting turned glamorous.

Not so daring?

Try one or two walls.

Black Accent Wall.
....and it's not the wall you would think to paint.

Matte Accent Wall in Dining Room.
Loving the simplicity of this space.

Color blocking w/ creamy white and black.

You will notice something in common with virtually every single photo, white balancing out the black. The more white there is the brighter the space becomes, the rooms with the least amount of white are more mysterious and intriguing. The photos that are predominately white with black accents look fresh and inviting. We typically think of a black and white room being harsh or jarring, but I think all of these rooms prove to be quite welcoming!

Here is a perfect combination to get you started:

On Trend: Chic Bars

I absolutely love the look of a bar all set up. Why not display it all? Whether it be on a counter top, console, or my choice a bar cart, they are all just as fabulous! Bring out your favorite tray and set of glasses with a few bottles of liquor for the holidays, it's a great addition to any room. Cheers!
