Foyer

A foyer is an important part of any home. It provides an entryway and serves as a transition between the outside world and your private sanctuary.

A moment to pause when you come home.

We always try to create a foyer space if possible, as we feel strongly about the necessity of a soft landing space that welcomes you with a soothing surrounding.  In addition, a foyer also makes a good first impression and it’s an area that could make a design impact. Since they are easier to maintain and keep neat, you can always enter a clutter free home. Foyers tend to have a few high-end finishes, like feature tiles on the floor and a statement light.

Traditionally, foyers are used to great guests and welcome them into your home. Instead of opening the home directly into your living space, a great lay-out for a home would include a foyer. More practically, here you can leave your shoes, keys, and mail – a decompression zone after a long day’s work. So next to being practical and functional, it does impact your health and wellbeing.

A good entry foyer is like the cover of a book, it’s the first point of the experience when coming home. It starts to tell the story of the rest of the home. Next to this important design statement, it is practical as well – not only to create storage but also help us pause when we arrive home.
