Entryway Design Ideas with Blue Walls

Our Antique Beam Sawn flooring in random widths from 2.5"-6.5". The flooring was stained with 1 part Bona "medium brown" and one part Bona "natural". Then three clear coats of "Bona naturale" to finish. This gorgeous house overlooks Lake Michigan.

Design ideas for a large beach style front door in Charleston with a single front door, a medium wood front door and blue walls.

Simple Nantucket style white wainscot and a palette of cool blues, greens, and neutrals evoke that sense of sun, sea and sky. A built-in bench on the staircase landing with hidden bookshelves serves as a cozy reading nook or a place to tie shoes before heading out the door.

Tight spaces near the back door are put to good use with the addition of the tall, vertical shoe cabinet that uses very little floor space, but adds extra deep shoe shelves all the way up to the ceiling. Designer - Gerry Ayala Photo - Cathy Rabeler

As the entryway to the home, we wanted this foyer to be a truly refined welcome to each of its guests. As guests enter they will be greeted with this polished and inviting entry, which contrasts dark colors against stunning tall white millwork along the walls. As a designer there is always the challenge of working with aspects of a room that your clients are not going to be changing. For us this was the flooring, to which we fitted with a custom cut L shaped rug that would allow us to tie together the foyer to the stairs and better coincide with the rest of our designs. We added a touch of bright color in the side table with gold and light yellow elements, while still tying things together with the blue and white detailed vase that mirrors the rug design. As the eye travels up the stairs the iron wrought spindles wonderfully accent the stairway’s dark wood railings. Further upward and this captivating grand chandelier accentuates the whole room. The star of the show, this breathtaking chandelier is enhanced by a beautiful ceiling medallion that we had painted within in gold to capture the elegance and light from this chandelier. As a first impression of the household, this foyer space is truly an introduction to the refinement and dignity of this home, and the people within it. Custom designed by Hartley and Hill Design. All materials and furnishings in this space are available through Hartley and Hill Design. www.hartleyandhilldesign.com 888-639-0639 ***Note: We recently went back to our client's home, and replaced the marble tiles with a herringbone hardwood floor.

A bespoke open shelf lets in daylight from the hall while screening the kitchen from the entrance. Cupboards in the hall were built from IKEA base units with bespoke full-height ash-veneered plywood doors. Floor to ceiling sliding door separate entrance from home office and a cloak room. The large and modern windows bring lots of natural light into the house. Photo: Frederik Rissom
