Entryway Breakdown

A high-impact refresh for the room that greets you first — a statement mural, a gold leaf light fixture, and one antique runner.

Oh, this room was so satisfying to bring to life! First, because it was an easier project to tackle since it was our entryway. Secondly, because it makes such an enormous impact visually when you first walk into our house. The biggest “bang for your buck” room in our house!

Before

This room had several elements that were fairly easy to execute. The first thing installed is this amazing mural from The Mural Source. For a similar look without the to the trade ordering hassle check these murals out here, here and here. This was the largest expense in the room, but oh my goodness, it makes such a difference! I just love all the colors, and the plant and bird motif. They give such life to the space. The birds on the wallpaper just bring a smile to my face everyday.

During

Next, I added this beautiful gold leaf light fixture which is sold out but I found a few similar here & here. It exudes the prettiest light pattern when the lights are on.

Lastly, I added an antique red runner to the space. I found some similar to my antique here, here and here. This is a high traffic area so I wanted something red to hide the dirt and I love the red pop of color and I felt that the space could use some additional oomph.
