Go Light
If you have windows in the entry, then install thin and light-weight drapes to allow some natural light. A well-lit area will help keep you as well as your visitors safe when coming in and going out of your home in the evenings. Chandeliers, decorative sconces and pendants are some good lighting options. Using a table lamp can be more inviting when compared to overhead lighting. If you do not have a small table to keep a set of lamps, then a standing lamp that spreads out a soft and gentle light would also do just fine.
Add Aroma
Scents like vanilla and cinnamon are welcoming and relaxing, so they will not only mask any unpleasant smells but also make your guests feel at home. Keeping an essential oil diffuser, scented candles or air fresheners near your entryway will create a delectable range of aromas. Be careful not to choose fragrances that are overwhelming.
Accessorize
By updating light fixtures and including an attractive art piece, natural plant, or seating options like a table or bench, you can totally transform the look and feel of your entryway. Let your visitors get to know your family by hanging photos of you on vacations, special moments and memories in the foyer.
