58 Dream Foyers

Foyer is not a place a lot of people spend much time in, but it is the first impression anyone gets of the interior of a home. Foyers can be inviting, or they can turn visitors and potential buyers away. While they do not have to be overdone, they are important in the grand scheme of the home.

How the foyer is decorated depends on a lot of things. First, the size and style of the foyer is very important. There are only so many things a homeowner can do with a space based on how it is set up. Second, the style of the rest of the home needs to be considered. No one wants to go into a Victorian foyer and then walk into a country house. Third, the homeowner’s personality will help determine many of the details as well.
