The entryway is the first room you see when you enter your home. It deserves to look beautiful. Today I am sharing quick and easy entryway decorating ideas.
ADD WALL ART
One of the fastest ways to refresh your entry way is to change out the art on your walls. Add art to your walls that reflects your personality as well as the color scheme of your home. You don’t have to spend a ton of money on original art. I bought canvas board from a craft store for just a few dollars. I then painted it by layering colors. I am not a fast painter so it took a few days. I kept layering paint until I had a piece I was happy with.

I decided to go with a rug that was both pretty and practical. I picked up a jute rug from Pier1, like this. Jute is a natural fiber. It is durable, easy to clean, and hides dirt really well. I measured to ensure we got a rug that was the right size for the space. If you get a rug that is too big, you will have a trip hazard. If you get a rug that is too small, it will not adequately keep your floors clean.
