Let\u2019s chat about entryway spaces!\u00a0 Do you have a formal entryway?\u00a0 When we purchased our current home a few years ago, everyone wanted to tear down the walls and open up our entryway space.\u00a0 I know it\u2019s just a small 6×6 space, but I just felt like I could eventually make it a little space that I love.<\/p>\n

It took me a few years, but one of my 2020 challenges (you know, all that extra time at home!) was to tackle the entryway.\u00a0 After moving around several different pieces of furniture, we finally landed on a plan that I love.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Here are a few things I love for making an impact in a small entryway space:<\/p>\n

1. Small spaces can still handle big pieces! For my fall and Christmas styling, we moved this vintage hardware store bin to the entryway.\u00a0 It makes a visual statement but doesn\u2019t take up a lot of the room\u2019s footprint.\u00a0 Be patient while searching for that perfect piece and remember, you might have to try several different things before you figure out what you love!<\/p>\n

2. Layering your home d\u00e9cor can really take a small space from nice to great! By layering several vintage mirrors and art on the top of the cubby, I was able to draw the eye up, incorporate several things I love, yet not make it cluttered.<\/p>\n

3. You can also layer furniture and accessories!\u00a0 I added this antique French ladder from Dreamy White Lifestyles and used it to hang the gorgeous advent stockings from Penny and Ivy.\u00a0 The cubby, ladder, and hanging branch with stockings make the entryway feel significant, even in a small space.<\/p>\n

4. Your entryway should have a nice flow to the rest of your home!\u00a0 Bring in design elements that tie in with the neighboring rooms.\u00a0 Even the smallest things make a big difference.\u00a0 In my Christmas entryway, I added a couple of vintage French horns to the mirrors and art.\u00a0 These tie in with the gallery wall in the adjacent family room.<\/p>\n

5. No matter how large or small a room is, I always add some greenery. In this space, I used a faux cedar tree and fresh pine branches.\u00a0 Greenery softens the edges and gives a space some life!<\/p>\n

Now in reality, no one actually really comes to the front door except the Amazon delivery guy (poor guy sees our door too often!), but when I pass through this little space now, it makes me smile.\u00a0 I feel like I achieved my theme of Comfort & Joy<\/strong><\/em> in this space this year.\u00a0 It was worth the extra effort and intentionality to make it special\u2026even if it\u2019s just for us.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Photo-Nov-09-3-55-45-PM-scaled.jpg” title_text=”Photo Nov 09, 3 55 45 PM” admin_label=”Closing img” _builder_version=”4.7.1″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Wrap up” _builder_version=”4.7.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px”]<\/p>\n What small space in your home could you take on as a challenge?\u00a0 You can make a big impact in a small space and I\u2019d love to see what you decide to do!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Blessings,<\/p>\n Robyn<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.6.5″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” max_width=”1920px” module_alignment=”center”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.6.5″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.6.6″ _module_preset=”default”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”1619,1618,1617,1616,1613,1614,1615″ orientation=”portrait” show_title_and_caption=”off” show_pagination=”off” zoom_icon_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” hover_overlay_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” admin_label=”Gallery” _builder_version=”4.7.1″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Big Impact in a Small Entryway<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1613,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ub_ctt_via":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[39,8],"tags":[],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Photo-Nov-09-3-55-15-PM-scaled.jpg","author_info":{"display_name":"Robyn","author_link":""},"mv":{"thumbnail_id":1613,"thumbnail_uri":"https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Photo-Nov-09-3-55-15-PM-225x300.jpg"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1607"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1607"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1607\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1632,"href":"https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1607\/revisions\/1632"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1613"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1607"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1607"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1607"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Gallery<\/h2>\n
