Entry ways 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.

2. The inner city townhouse 

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 marble are back in a big way, and you can easily see why. Gilt wood and sunburst mirrors are the perfect way to add a splash of warm gold.

4. The modern farmhouse 

Some key pieces that really make these spaces special are bench seats, chairs, console tables, round tables and mirrors.

Add a farmhouse touch with some wall mounted farmyard personalities, (no animals have been harmed in the curation of our animal collection).

5. The earthy home

Collections of candles, books, vases overflowing with flowers, glassware and pottery are lovely ways to decorate these welcoming spaces.

This beautiful space has a relaxed symmetry - ancient weathered biot jars are balanced with leather-bound books. A pair of wall sconces are centered above the rustic table.
