Do not make this mistake. Foyers play a critical role in both the style and functionality of the home. They create great first impressions and set the mood for viewing the house.
Additionally, decorated foyers improve yard landscaping, add lovely accents, and beautifully connect the interiors with the outdoors.
Tips for Beautiful, Value Adding Entryways and Staircases
The following are three quick tips to help you design and build gorgeous entryways and staircases to boost the aesthetics and value of your custom built home;
Begin with Functionality and Style
The three factors you need to prioritize here are; size, scale, and sequence of the foyer. Even for small spaces, aim for a 4-5 feet wide foyer. As for scale, try to ensure that the size of the foyer compares favorably with other elements in the space. Sequence is all about designing the foyer in such a way that guests know where to go next.
Another key consideration is architectural style. In smaller homes, the foyer is purely functional, often going straight up. But in larger homes, foyers can be used to add to architecture, typically curving gracefully within a separate hall, past windows and window banks, and up to the next level.
