HOME & RANCH Decorating Tips to Make an Entryway Pop By Raquel Lynn | August 11, 2015 Share The entryway of a home often sets the tone for the rest of the place. Whether you have a large mudroom, or just a tiny space inside the main door these tips will have you rethinking your decor. Above, oversized art is my favorite way to call for attention. Take a favorite photo, blow it up and cut into pieces for a dramatic grid effect. Rustic barn wood makes the perfect backdrop for the photo. A large piece of art next to a bench or place to hang your hats creates a lot of impact with a small budget.

Have a custom or homemade bench made if possible, but make sure it’s sturdy enough to handle a lot of traffic.

This is for looks versus function without any storage space. Photo source: Houzz > If blowing up an old photo or a DIY art project seems intimidating, try shadow box art. Frame an old pair of chaps (or an outfit ) in a shadowbox. Everyone who walks in your home will ask about them!

This is a perfect solution if your house doesn’t come with built in cabinets and you want to add storage.
