Simple Ideas To Decorate A Winter Entryway

Create a cozy and inviting foyer with these simple ideas to decorate a winter entryway.

After the sparkle and lights of Christmas are gone we are often left with a feeling of “blah”, for a lack of a better word. The hearts and love themed décor is not ready yet to make an appearance so what is one to do in order to make our homes beautiful!?

Functional & Simple Ideas For A Winter Entryway

A foyer is a place to welcome guests and in the winter for ourselves or family members to put on or remove winter gear. And because of this we need to make it pretty and useful for everyone.

What You Need For Jackets, Boots and And Cold Weather Gear In The Foyer

Hooks – use individual hooks or a coat rack
Bins or Baskets – these will corral all of the mittens, scarves and ear muffs.

Boot Tray – these are wonderful to contain the mess we bring in on our shoes.

Place To Sit For Your Foyer

Place a chair in your entryway – this makes it convenient to take of and put on shoes
A bench (or a church pew) is a nice addition to a large entryway. It can be decorated with pillows, blankets or baskets.

A Spot To Collect Small Things in Your Entryway

A shelf is great in a small entryway. You can decorate seasonally and for holidays as well as place a small dish for keys or a tray for wallets.
A narrow console table, dresser or side table works great for a large foyer. It provides a place for keys, wallets and décor. If using a dresser or something similar it can provide extra storage.
