Five beautiful entryway styles

Five beautiful entryway styles

Entryways are easily made beautiful with accent pieces of furniture, grouped collections and cleverly positioned mirrors.

1. The modern rustic maison

These threshold spaces give people the first impression of your taste and style, and are spaces that can easily be as beautiful as a living space or dining room. 

Mirrors in the hallway or entryway are always a timeless choice—they bring in light, create a sense of space, and offer a welcoming moment of reflection as you come and go. Their beauty lies not only in their form but in the way they invite the outside in.


A gilded mirror instantly elevates the atmosphere in an entryway. Paired here with a marble-topped console, antique books, and a vase of fresh blooms, it creates a warm and timeless welcome.

Consider placing an antique urn overflowing with fresh blooms to make a bold statement in the entryway. Framed mirrors behind it will catch the light and elevate the entire space with an effortless touch of French elegance.

2. The inner city townhouse 

A standing coat rack or umbrella stand is a charming and practical addition to an entryway. These timeless pieces add character while offering guests a stylish spot to leave their coats, walking sticks, or hats.

This classic bentwood coat stand brings sculptural elegance to any hallway. Both practical and beautifully crafted, it offers an inviting place to hang coats, hats, and scarves with vintage charm.

A vintage bench seat is a stylish addition to any entryway. The perfect place for your guests to leave their bags or a spot to slip on your shoes before heading out the door.

3. The chic apartment

Gold and natural textures are a timeless pairing, especially in a chic apartment entryway. Giltwood sunburst mirrors add just the right splash of warmth and sophistication against soft neutral walls.

4. The modern farmhouse 

Natural textures and timeless pieces define the modern farmhouse aesthetic. A raw pine console is paired with antique bottles, sculptural planters, and a grand tapestry—layering rustic charm with quiet elegance.

Earthy textures and natural tones give this entryway a quiet elegance. A rustic console table is paired with a weathered urn, soft green upholstery, and antique lanterns—an effortlessly layered look that feels warm and welcoming.
