The first step is to TAKE INVENTORY of your existing entry and source the perfect pieces that will store those items, keep them organized, and finally show off your style. Would you rather… mirror in the entry? Or artwork?
So tired of mirrors, just had a client calling me from far. She had 3 mirrors to show me and I had to choose which is to go up above her entrance cabinet.
I love how you show all these examples after you tell us.🙂 It just confirms and cements in my mind ideas to implement into my own home. Thank you Julie! ❤️
Thanks for these tips. Our entryway wow factor is beautiful contrasting patterned tiles that aren't used anywhere in the house but served as our inspiration for the design style, very very happy with them.
i just love the way you bring interior design closer to me- you make it so easy and explain it so clearly - you have helped me to design my room from scratch
Thank you very much! I recently moved into my first house. I have no idea how to decorate my home. I learn sooooo much from you video. Now every one entered my home, they all loved it!
Hi Julie Really like these shorts ! The two shelf storage unit right at the entry is key. There are more than keys to put there. Sunscreen bug spray sunglasses phone chargers gum tissues and baseball caps. I do this with a two shelf concealed cabinet and two slim open shelves one at the bottom and one at the top to hide all that stuff. A few Shoes go on that vinyl covered bottomed shelf. Yes this was a custom made shelf by an inexpensive cabinet company. It’s not solid wood. Opposite is a very slim 4 inch wide 2 /1/2 foot long umbrella stand. Water hog rug at the door. This is the back door most used. Coats go in the small mud room along with bags knapsacks and winter accessories. I had a carpenter build me 18 shoe cubbies below and above the other half on top 3 longer locker like openings for short coats hoodies and one of those lockers i had holes put in so it could be used for adjustable grommet holed shelving so I really only gave 2 lockers for coats. and theee 16 inch square cubbies on top of that. Also put outlets near these doors for charging all your stuff. I use up a larger share of those shoe cubbies. 😂this was key to keep everything for the family ready to go. It freed up the front door for good coats and other outerwear you needed for odd weather. But that front door closet also houses games vacuum camera gear etc. small houses need lots of creative thinkers. Seating check also. Mirrors. Nope. Vertical storage is good too. Hang up the keys or charging cords use nice hooks or nice open shelves and put bowls on them secured with museum putty so they don’t move when you grab the keys. Nice to have a good looking clock there. In old days that’s where the hall clocks or grand father clocks went. I have an old working spring turning ibm punch clock with time cards at the back door. The contractors love that one!! I do have a front entry which looks into the living room as soon as you enter so i use that room to create the vibe of the house. I do however place seasonal decor at the back door. Now there’s a pumpkin placemat there for Halloween. Sorry my post is longer than your video. 🙃 Thank you😊 for the tips. You really look great! See you next week! Margaret
Hi Julie I like the grandfather clock. I actually have two in the living room at opposite corners but the other one is a floor standing hall clock one of my neighbors gave me. When we were doing zoom calls people really liked to hear the chimes. They would laugh after hearing the second one go off. Oh you have two? Yep! It’s old world and meditative. Winding them is a reflective act. Not sure why people don’t want them. You stop noticing the chimes. Really not disruptive bc the chimes become part of your world. Margaret
I totally agree about light in the entry. The best thing I have done at home was get a skylight/solar tube installed in a dark entry. It looks amazing and the whole house feels different.
Julie, thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us. I am looking to buy a new home within the next year and I am compiling a list of all my favorite videos from you such as entryway how to make your house look more expensive etc. etc. And then I’m gonna use them as guideposts to help me. I couldn’t be any more excited and now I’m fearless because of your videos. Thank you so much.
We bought our house earlier this year and it's still so empty and so much to buy. I have been saving and getting inspiration for the entryway for months, but it's large and i wanted to add seating to one of the walls. Thank you fo4 this video because ypu showed that it can be done given the size of our entryway.
You always have the best design tips, Julie! Thank you! In our entry way I have a piece of beautiful wall art of a metal tree that a dear dear friend gifted us when we first moved in to our home and every time we see it, it makes us so joyful and happy.
I have a small entry area so 3 essentials that usually mention, I can't have them like storage, mirror and seating. I have lighting hanging down. But I have something attractive on the floor and few masks on the wall.
Wow! There are a plethora of entryway ideas. I have taken snap photos of all the entryway that appear in your video. Thank you for sharing your tips and ideas. ❤❤
I love these tips and your videos! I don’t have a closet in my entryway so I placed a large jute basket there to store things like an umbrella, shopping bags and the shoes I wore for the day.
Thanks for the fantastic ideas Julie. What do you do/how do you create an entry way when your “front door” leads directly into the kitchen or the living room with no break. (You open the door and you’re standing in the kitchen/ or the living room?). I’ve been struggling with this for years now!
Julie, oh my goodness you are so amazing!!!!!! I’ve been watching and listening to you for the entire build of my home, a year and a half now . I’ve learned so many wonderful things from you Thank you thank you thank you for all you do I so appreciate you. I was getting ready to find how to send a message to inquire about not wearing shoes in my home , then I start watching this video and you address that. I’ve always wanted to live in a space where shoes are not worn it would feel so much cleaner without them. My question is do you have little slippers for people to wear inside the home? finally moving in begins weekend it’s been such a long journey. I’m so happy to have found you at the beginning 🙏🏼❤️
Yes. It is becoming ever more common for people to not wear street shoes in the home. Wherever we lived apartments or homes we don’t wear street shoes inside. Disgusting street grime and poisonous deadly chemicals asbestos lead doo doo saliva etc. But older people need shoes for stability and protection so I let my parents wear theirs and workers wear booties over their shoes. You can also put runners down when workers come in.Take off your shoes when you are at home. You can wear slippers. But watch out for slippery bare wood stairs. I would carpet them. One fall on the slippery stairs by a shoeless socked visitor and you are on notice of a hazard.
Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your design journey Pamela! I actually leave washable slippers for guests by the front door and I also have a cache of socks that guests can keep. Check out my entryway makeover to see where I store them 😊
@@youbetcha108 actually no, to the wearing of thick cushioned sneakers for older people. Older people have been misled by shoe companies & podiatrists. My husband & I switched to a completely flat shoe, without thick padding & it’s shaped like our feet. We no longer wear anything else because the stability, & connection to the ground was so much better. It takes getting used to because the muscles in your foot aren’t being used when you wear sneakers or traditional footwear. Xero shoes are what we are wearing, but they’re many other brands now. Our feet don’t hurt by the end of the day, as they previously did, and I feel much more stable and sure footed. My husband has a normal arch, & my feet are very flat. We were both amazed at how much better we felt in Xero shoes.
Great video, but could you do one on garage entryways we leave the large garage door open almost all day because I do work out there. I like the sunshine and wind and it’s difficult to get to our front door so everyone uses the garage door as an entrance right into the kitchen not much can be done there, so Hass to be in the garage. Thanks so much Heidi
I like her style & ideas. Very detail in explaining the design ideas. I just moved to new home and having hard time to decor. Im just hoping she can be a virtual assistant to me 😊
I just think the world of you! Thanks for all of your videos! They give me a big lift. We downsized and I just can’t seem to make anything click here. ❤️🙏
Great video, but do I need to have a mirror? I have been thinking of getting a peacock painting from an artist that I know. Peacocks are well known for bringing luck, ausperity into houses. What do you think? I was thinking about putting a mirror in the living room instead or opposite from the entrance ( I mean not facing the main door)
Thank you so much you have beautiful ideas! One QUESTION I have (I also like shoes 👠 off in my home so what kind of sign would be nice to have outside your door)
New subscriber! Wow. So many wonderful ideas. Thank you for your dedication. I love the idea of console table and mirror, I see how boring my front door is. just purchase a hall tree with bench. Will add rug and some flowers next to it. Thank you
Julie, love the video as always. The entry to my home is uncovered and there is a huge blank wall right in the front, I would love to see some tips for that as I can't use things like artwork there, they would be damaged by the rain and heat.
Hi Julie, thanks for this video, as I look at my entryway, it is small and close to non-existing as it leads directly to the open lounge, dining room, and kitchen. I live in Brisbane Australia, and the houses are not that grand as the California home. I would love to send you some pictures so you can use for later style ideas. Martha
I have a small hall/entry way an at the moment the front door is dark on the inside I’m thinking it might be better painted light neutral the same as the walls either side thought it would make it lighter and look a bit bigger in that area ?
Hi Julie, I loved the video. It is really helpful to design my entryway. I have the storage /console /shoe cabinet + seating + mirror but I am juggling between area rug or no rug. I purchased one runner area rug and I love it but it's slightly colorful printed having some colors in contrast to my boho decor like white vase and white book stack on the console /shoe cabinet. Do u think a colorful runner goes with this decor? , or should i get another one? Also rug moves and I need is to tape it to avoid tripping hazzard , Having small mat doenst help since people would remove shoes after stepping in. Let me know your thoughts. Looking forward for your advice!! :)
Good information and ideas for the front area. Our front door opens up to a 6' x 6' raised area that faces a basic closet door. About 6 feet to the right of the closet door is a stairway to the second floor. We normally enter the house through the garage where we keep our cars, and usually use the front door for guests, so no storage is needed. We are thinking of removing that closet to expand the area for astethics only. Do you have any thoughts on this. Due to the weather in Southern California, the need for normal closet needs ( jackets, umbrellas. .) is so rare we have only used the closet as a junk area.
All beautiful ideas! Going to incorporate them soon!!! Thanks again for another awesome video Julie! My entryway is of decent size. Although, the bigger wall is not facing the main door, but it faces the hallway where all the bedrooms are. Not sure if I should be placing mirror on that wall if I want to follow Feng Shui/Vaastu (?) Also, my entire foyer is tiled. Rest of the home is dark wood floor. Not sure if a rug would look nice on tiles or even stay put as I fear it might be slippery. Any suggestions?
I have tile in my foyer and laminate in the house- I don’t place a rug because it’s such a tight area. You have to determine what makes the most sense for your space
Julie, we've been through this before gurl, the only thing I take for a walk is my hubby. Anyways great I deas I already fixed the stuff that I did wrong. but ya forgot an umbrella bucket. But yes super great ideas. Thankoo
What if your entry way is not the entrance you use daily? We come into the house through the garage, so the landing space is not in the entryway. What do I put in entry way now?
Fantastic video…. But… I have a front foyer that is used for guests only. In your opinion, what are the necessary elements of a guest only entry Versus the way my family and I go in and out of the house via the garage door.?
Treat that garage entry like your front entry with a huge focus on storage. I treat the “guest” entry the same since I also want a landing space for guests to place their purses, keys and coats once in the door. Mirror is essential, artwork not so much.
The first step is to TAKE INVENTORY of your existing entry and source the perfect pieces that will store those items, keep them organized, and finally show off your style.
Would you rather… mirror in the entry? Or artwork?
Please tell me how to create entryway on a weird design house😄 My home is just straight into kitchen on the left and family room on the right..
So tired of mirrors, just had a client calling me from far. She had 3 mirrors to show me and I had to choose which is to go up above her entrance cabinet.
Art work
Julie is there a way I could send you a picture?
Artwork!
Mirror is a thing of the 90s ...very feminine, her designs are very feminine based
I got so many ideas from this. I love how you always show example after example as you talk through each point.
I love showing a variety of different styles so we all can feel inspired Fae! 👍🏻😊
I love how you show all these examples after you tell us.🙂 It just confirms and cements in my mind ideas to implement into my own home. Thank you Julie! ❤️

Thank you so much you have beautiful ideas! One QUESTION I have (I also like shoes 👠 off in my home so what kind of sign would be nice to have outside your door)
I don’t leave any signs, but seeing your shoes at the front door with a basket of house slippers or clean socks for guests should be enough 😊
Awesome video! Simple and to the point .. z
New subscriber!
Wow. So many wonderful ideas. Thank you for your dedication.
I love the idea of console table and mirror, I see how boring my front door is. just purchase a hall tree with bench. Will add rug and some flowers next to it.
Thank you
Flowers will do just the trick to brighten up the space Lucy! Thank you for watching and subscribing 🙏🏻😊
Superb add on tips. Loved it. Please suggest a door mat for a house with a dog. I live in tropics.
Mine is from Overstock and does the job nicely
Julie, love the video as always. The entry to my home is uncovered and there is a huge blank wall right in the front, I would love to see some tips for that as I can't use things like artwork there, they would be damaged by the rain and heat.
I would opt for strategic lighting along with textured finishes like stone or wood decking. Brings in warmth and dimension Aanchal 👍🏻
Good ideas. Thank you 😊
Mirror for me in the entryway ! I need the extra light and also art is all throughout my house😉 I love the photo inspiration!
I have both in my entry so win-win Ann! 🙌🏻😊

@@JulieKhuu Hi Julie I try to send the pictures but not luck, I wander if I got the email address wrong. Martha
Yes you can have a console table, if you have enough floor space. I have a very small hallway, & can't fit in a table or a seat.
You can always mount a shelf or ledge- frees up floor space, but will provide ample surface space 🙌🏻
I have a small hall/entry way an at the moment the front door is dark on the inside I’m thinking it might be better painted light neutral the same as the walls either side thought it would make it lighter and look a bit bigger in that area ?
thankyou Julie! you are very creative♡
Thank you for watching 😊

Any thoughts on using a doormat AND a runner in an entryway? Or is it one or the other? Thanks for the tips!
Doormat for exterior, runner for interior 👍
Hi Julie, I loved the video. It is really helpful to design my entryway. I have the storage /console /shoe cabinet + seating + mirror but I am juggling between area rug or no rug.

If this entry runner is neutral, it will invite the eyes to land beyond the space and into your home. Something to think about Khushboo 🤔
Good information and ideas for the front area. Our front door opens up to a 6' x 6' raised area that faces a basic closet door. About 6 feet to the right of the closet door is a stairway to the second floor.

@@JulieKhuu u very much welcome 😀💥💥keep up with your Wonderful work
Will you please consider making a video on a 'barely-there foyer' with a super narrow entryway (less than 3 ft). Thanks for all the great tips.
I have one- it’s called awkward entryways in the awkward space series Joyce 👍😊
Thank you, Julie, wonderful series & information!
Thank you for watching Laura 🙏🏻😊
For snowy winter and rainy spring, how do you make a boot tray look good in an entry?
Keep it hidden under a beautiful leggy console MaryLut (like tucked in ottomans)
Thanks, great video!
Thank you for watching Myra 🙏🏻😊
Love your videos as always.
Thank you for watching Evelyn 🙏🏻😊
All beautiful ideas! Going to incorporate them soon!!! Thanks again for another awesome video Julie! My entryway is of decent size. Although, the bigger wall is not facing the main door, but it faces the hallway where all the bedrooms are. Not sure if I should be placing mirror on that wall if I want to follow Feng Shui/Vaastu (?)
Also, my entire foyer is tiled. Rest of the home is dark wood floor. Not sure if a rug would look nice on tiles or even stay put as I fear it might be slippery. Any suggestions?
I have tile in my foyer and laminate in the house- I don’t place a rug because it’s such a tight area. You have to determine what makes the most sense for your space
I love all those tips (specially the feng shui ones) THANK you very much 🙂

Julieee💜💜💜 I dont have a "real entry way" but ill be back to watch!
Watch the entryways video in the awkward space series LT! You’ll see how others created a zone out of nothing, it’s inspiring 😍
Great video!
Thank you for watching LF! 🙏🏻😊

What if your entry way is not the entrance you use daily? We come into the house through the garage, so the landing space is not in the entryway. What do I put in entry way now?
Same tips apply Joyce. Maybe even more so for hosting guests. They need a spot to drop their belongings.
Is it a design faux pas to put a bench and an entryway table right next to each other on the same wall in your entryway hallways?
👏👏👏👏love the video and the hair!
Thank you Cindy 🙏🏻😊
I so have all these things in mind! Thank you for confirming that I'm doing a good job with my clients and my own home.
Awesome Me-Ann!!🙌🏻 thank you for watching
Hello Julie. How about mirror in entryway facing stair ?
Fantastic video…. But… I have a front foyer that is used for guests only. In your opinion, what are the necessary elements of a guest only entry Versus the way my family and I go in and out of the house via the garage door.?
Treat that garage entry like your front entry with a huge focus on storage. I treat the “guest” entry the same since I also want a landing space for guests to place their purses, keys and coats once in the door. Mirror is essential, artwork not so much.
