Autumn is right around the corner, which means that it’s time to get your foyer area in order. The foyer area is to be used as a waiting area for your guests, so why not make them feel welcome? You want to design an inviting foyer that makes you happy to be home and your guests feel comfortable to be in your home. Essential items your foyer should include are coat racks, storage, & a seating area to take shoes off/put them on. These storage solutions are a perfect space saving technique. Shoes and coats are always left in the foyer area, so why not provide an area for them to be stored in style? Eliminate the clutter and give your shoes, coats, toys and games a home. You can even use stock cabinets to construct your foyer storage, which will provide you with an attractive built-in look without having to spend custom pricing. Whether you are looking to include open (bookcase) storage or hidden solutions with doors or drawers, Columbia Kitchens can produce a design that will best suit your foyer needs. The cabinets will de-clutter your foyer, provide comfy built-seating and add architectural appeal that will make a great first impression to guests. Window Seating After you dress up the foyer, you should consider adding window seating. This can also be done in a large foyer area, but is more likely to be done in the: living room, dining room, kitchen, office, bar area or bedroom. Window seating is usually installed in any room that has a bay window and/or large window that is low to the floor and is overlooking a scenic view. With Custom-crafted window seats, you can have the look and style you desire, even when cabinets must be made to fit into odd shaped spaces. Nothing beats the fact you and your guests can enjoy your home’s landscape view from your window seats without being out of reach of items you may need to entertain guests, have intimate conversation or quiet time alone. Once the cabinets are installed, sit a box cushion on top to give the finish touch on the storage bench. Keep in mind that the foyer and window seating area should compliment the furniture, color tones, and style of the home. Pick a door style and finish of cabinetry that will best fit your homes needs. You should specifically keep in mind the flooring and wall colors of the room to come to a decision. It is also recommended to bring in color samples of your home furnishings when deciding on the cabinetry. And don’t forget area rugs and pendant lights to add even more visual interest and texture.
