The entry is the first thing guests see and the last wall you pass on the way out, yet it is usually the one left bare. A single piece of art changes that. It turns a plain hallway or foyer into a warm welcome and hints at the style of the rooms beyond. Even a narrow or awkward entry has room for it. Here is how to make the most of yours.
Lead With One Strong Piece
You tend to take in an entry at a glance, so this is the spot for a statement. A dramatic landscape like Where The River Runs, or the moody warmth of From Dusk Til Dawn, gives an instant sense of arrival.
Work With Narrow Walls
Hallways are long and skinny, so play to that. A tall portrait piece suits a slim wall, and a row of evenly spaced prints leads the eye down the hall. Keep everything at eye level so it flows. A relaxed coastal print like Beach Daze keeps a tight entry feeling open.
Style Above a Console
If you have a console or hall table, hang art above it and the two start to look like they were planned together. Aim for a piece about two thirds of the console width, then add a lamp, a vase or a small stack of books underneath. Our hanging guide covers how much space to leave between the art and the table.
Go Big in a Tall Entry
A double height foyer or a wide open entry is the place to size up. An extra large artwork fills the wall, pulls the eye upward and makes the ceiling feel higher. When you are stuck between two sizes here, go with the bigger one. Too big almost always looks better than too small.
