Make A Stylish First Impression

interior design&home decor 1 Minute

Your front entryway gives guests the first impression of your home and sets the stage for the rest of your space. To help you give a first impression that is memorable, welcoming, and vibrant, here is a creative way you can style your entryway.

1️⃣Start from the ground up. Rugs can help define an entry and add texture and pattern for a finished feel. The rug I included is from Amazon,100% nylon for long lasting quality with vivid colors that won’t fade away, adds warmth to many home decor styles, and the non-slip backing makes this rug perfect for high traffic areas.
2️⃣Your entry—no matter its size—should be as comfortable as the rest of your home. A slender chair or a bench is a good way to add a cozy, homey feel. I fell in love with this fun shutter door storage bench from Amazon. Traditional elements like shutter doors and bun feet create a classic and timeless look, while the cushioned seat offers comfort and convenience. Keep the entryway clutter free by storing extra items out of sight within the bench’s spacious storage compartment.
3️⃣Seek out a storage piece that fits a lot while still looking polished, such as a chest or a drawered console. Use the surface area on top and the space beneath. I went with this simple Safavieh console table from Amazon to add a beautiful touch of style to the entryway.
4️⃣If you’re short on square footage, take advantage of wall space for extra storage. Instead of a bulky armoire or coat rack, hang some chic, simple hooks on the wall for hats, totes, and jackets. It’s a handy way to keep things off the floor, and it lets you show off a few of your most fashionable pieces. This elegant multi-purpose wooden coat rack from Amazon is perfect for organizing any entranceway.

Most importantly, show off your personality! Sometimes the smallest items can have the biggest impact in a space. Give guests a sense of your individuality as soon as they enter by devoting prime placement to your favorite vintage pieces, art, and ephemera. Though these eye-catching treasures don’t take up much room, they make an entry feel truly personal

Welcome! I’m Masha, a passionate advocate for the intersection of mental wellness and design. With a background in criminal justice and criminology, I’ve always been fascinated by the ways our environments shape our thoughts, behaviors, and overall well-being. This curiosity led me to explore how psychological principles can be seamlessly integrated into home design to create spaces that not only look beautiful but also foster mental health and relaxation. In addition to my studies, I run a small business called OCD (Organize Create Design), where I focus on designing spaces that promote mental awareness and well-being. I believe that our surroundings have a profound impact on our mental state, and through my work, I aim to help others create homes that truly support their emotional and psychological needs. This blog is a space where I share insights, tips, and research on how to apply psychological theories to home design. Whether you’re looking to create a stress-free environment, enhance your productivity, or simply make your home a sanctuary, you’ll find practical advice and inspiration here. When I’m not writing or working on design projects, I’m pursuing my master’s degree in criminal justice and criminology at UMKC. My goal is to contribute to policymaking that positively impacts international adoptees and families, drawing from both my personal experiences and academic knowledge. Thank you for joining me on this journey. I hope you find the content here helpful and inspiring as you work to create a home that nurtures your well-being.
