analysis: photo image analysis: Making a Grand Entrance

What do you see in the image above?

Notes:

• Welcome to our home: you need space for a nicely designed entry way. So if you have a smaller home, it makes it difficult to make a grand appearance. But that is not impossible if you use some creative features that is noted above.
• Door entry flagged by side, decorative windows: this home has double entry doors – in a smaller home, just a single door with beautiful side windows. The door window insert matches the side window that allow natural light using a decorative window design.
• Another feature that can fit most sized homes is a open window above the door frame – again, allowing in more natural light. If you home doesn’t have vaulted ceiling, a small height window can give you the same effect.
• What style of furniture: home entry ways or foyers generally have furniture to welcome visitors such as a coat rack – umbrella tree – console table with mints – sitting bench for waiting and other related furniture:

• In this image you can find a serving tray with mirror and drinks – on the opposite side are two chairs with a small table. The goal is to keep the foyer open.
• Note the floor: entry ways and foyers often use tiled or stone flooring – transferring to wood or carpet as you move to the interior space. The picture has marble flooring with beautiful diamonds and a medallion. You need to decide your flooring type with renovating your entry and foyer area.

Final observation:

What this home entry setup does is highlight the staircase. Now this works if you have a high ceiling. The stairs curve nicely upstairs with 3 differently sized glass block windows that bring in natural light – something that adds light to the staircase and foyer.
