“You can create a warm environment<br />
with a console or sofa table,<br />
mirror and lamp,” Berges said.<br />
Often a small<br />
space, the foyer will<br />
look larger with lamp<br />
light reflected in the<br />
mirror, and it adds<br />
sparkle, she said.<br />
Silk floral arrangements<br />
are a popular choice to add<br />
color to the space.<br />
“Silk flowers are less trouble.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y last longer,” Weigel said.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y can be changed easily for<br />
the different seasons.<br />
Seasonal items can be displayed<br />
longer than holiday decor. For<br />
instance, using pumpkins for fall<br />
decorating rather than witches for<br />
Halloween means it looks timely until<br />
Christmas.<br />
Foyers make ideal places to display<br />
collections, too, Weigel said.<br />
Family photos also personalize a<br />
space, Berges said.<br />
Adding scent with potpourri or<br />
“It’s the first thing people<br />
coming to the house see.<br />
You want it to be inviting.”<br />

candles creates a warm and appealing<br />
atmosphere.<br />
Those living in homes without a<br />
defined entry can<br />
create one with<br />
furniture placement<br />
or screens, Berges<br />
said.<br />
Tile, laminate or<br />
hardwood flooring<br />
with an accent rug is a better choice<br />
for an entry than carpet, Weigel said.<br />
If the foyer is open to other<br />
rooms, the wall color usually blends<br />
with the other spaces, but a contrasting<br />
accent wall can add interest,<br />
Berges said.<br />
Some clients already have ideas<br />
about what they want the space to<br />
look like before they come to the<br />
furniture galleries. Others need guidance.<br />
“We go into the home to see the<br />
space ourselves,” Berges said.<br />
