Cielo: Create A Bold Entrway With Our Top Tips

Make a great first impression in the entrance hall of your home. The right choice of furniture and finishes can make all the difference. Here we share some great ideas, with the perfect finds from Cielo – South Africa’s largest online furniture retailer with thousands of products in furniture, decor & homeware.

1. Go Bold

If there is one area in your home where you can afford to take risks and go bold, it’s the entryway. This is the first space your visitors will see and will give others an impression of who you are and how you live. Bold mirrors or artwork, along with modern finishes and superior furniture in this space will certainly add flair and speak volumes about your personality and style. Choose a solid entrance table to set the scene and choose striking pieces to ooze luxury and style in this space.

2. Make it welcoming

A vase of fresh blooms, a striking chandelier or even a bright, light-filled entry will certainly evoke a feeling of being welcomed and embraced in your home. Allow for natural lighting to infiltrate your entryway, and if this is limited, invest in contemporary light fittings to make a statement and add to the illumination of your space.

3. Choose the perfect sideboard or entrance table

Wood is often timeless and classic – a durable and sustainable finish in any room, and often the perfect accompaniment in an entryway. If in doubt, wood is always a winner. However, more modern options include perspex, glass and even concrete materials to add an urban and contemporary edge to your entryway. Whatever your choice, be sure that evokes your personal style and create a showstopper with decor and accents to compliment your new entrance table.

4. Soften it up with a rug

Rugs are must-have items in just about every room in the house. There is no easier way to add a softer approach with texture and colour underfoot. Choose a rug that echoes the shape and style of your entryway. For longer, narrower entrances, a long narrow rug may be your best choice. If you have the luxury of space, you could play around with different sizes and shapes. We love plush rugs that add a sense of depth and richness to an entrance.
