Here at Abigail Amira, we love entryways. Your entryway is the first thing you see when you come into your home. When visitors stop by, this area will make the first impression. Why not make it a welcoming room that invites you and your guests inside?
Entryways are left bare in many homes, but you can create a usable space that fits your lifestyle by following our guide of entryway essentials. Whether you want a stylish place to welcome visitors or a cozy place to sit down and remove your shoes, our guide will show you three ways to style your entryway.

Want the perfect spot to welcome you and your visitors? Look no further! We love to use a charming console table paired with pretty lamps (a single lamp works well for small spaces) in this style entryway. We suggest hanging a statement mirror, perfect for quick touch ups before heading out the door. Add some functional decor, like a basket for hiding shoes and a small bowl to put your keys in.
Sitting Pretty

This style offers a nice place to sit while putting on or taking off your shoes. We like to keep the styling simple by pairing a unique bench with a large mirror or art piece that matches your personality. We suggest adding a pretty rug, a plant in a fun pot and a couple pillows for extra comfort.

We always seem to be on the go these days. You can make the most of even small spaces with a home command center. Pair a reusable calendar with a small bench. Add in a memo board for writing important messages, like your grocery list or game times. We suggest using a basket for mail and papers coming in and out. We love this build your own wall organizer set here.

Lately, I've been thinking about how entertaining at home used to be a regular part of social life, from casual cocktail parties to spontaneous evenings with friends and neighbors. Perhaps what our homes are missing isn't another beautiful piece of furniture, but more opportunities to connect. I'm exploring the return of in-person conversation, simple weekly get-togethers, and how creating intentional conversation spaces in our homes can help bring back a little more connection, community, and time together.
