The entryway or foyer are key spaces to decorate for the festive season. They’re the first areas everyone sees when they enter your home and the last they see when they leave. In this article, we share Christmas decorations for the entranceway that you and your guests will love.
Put Up a Christmas Tree
If you have space, a Christmas tree is the perfect focal point for your foyer. Choose the right size so it doesn’t make it difficult for people to get around. We offer a range of heights – from trees under 6 feet to large 18-foot trees.
By the Staircase
Slim trees make an impact without overwhelming the space.
On the Console Table
For smaller entryways, use a tabletop tree to spruce up the console table.
Hang Christmas Greenery
Make sure your wreaths and garlands are proportionate to the size of your entryway. Use bigger pieces for a large foyer and smaller décor for limited spaces.
Wreaths on the Wall
The wall space in this area is prime for a cheery wreath display.
Garlands on the Stairs
If your stairs are visible from the area, drape some garlands along the banister for easy festive elegance.
Make It Cosy with Candles and Lanterns
Lanterns and candles make any room instantly feel warm and welcoming. Choose designs that match your theme or color scheme to make sure it’s consistent with the rest of your Christmas décor.
Tabletop Vignettes
Mix and match different sizes and shapes for an interesting display.
Floor Décor
Clusters of lanterns or large LED candles on the steps provide both style and functionality.
Spruce Up the Entryway Console with Christmas Accents
Create a festive tableau with well-chosen décor. You can also place Christmas cards, candy canes, and framed photos for an interactive display guests will love.
Table Display
Nutcrackers, snow globes, or advent calendars are eye-catching pieces you can decorate around.
Floor Accents
Lean larger pieces against the banister or console table legs to complete your festive vignette.
Hang Stockings
Choose stockings in a variety of colors and patterns to match your holiday theme, or go for a cohesive look with matching sets. Add small Christmas accents like mini wreaths or twinkling lights to enhance the look and create a welcoming first impression.
On the Walls
You can use adhesive hooks or a stocking hanger for easy setup without damaging the walls. Or, use your existing coat hooks for a quaint and homey vibe.
On the Staircase
Accentuate your staircase garland with a set of stockings. The unconventional display area makes it a conversation starter.
Create a Warm Space with Pillows and Throws
A bench or seating area in the entryway becomes the perfect spot to layer plush pillows and soft, seasonal throws.
Festive Colours
Curate a traditional palette of red and green or go with gold – both match any greenery you choose to decorate the area with.
Seasonal Textures
Plaid, chunky knits, and faux fur enhance the cosy Christmas vibe.
Decorating Tips
- Coordinate your foyer décor with your outdoor/front porch display for a seamless transition. Use similar foliage, décor elements, and color palettes for a cohesive look.
- Consider extra safety precautions since it is a high-traffic area. Avoid bulky décor, exposed flame and wiring, and other risks to easy passage through your foyer or entryway, especially around doorways and stairs.
