The Best Tile Flooring Choices For A Welcoming Entryway

Foyers come in many shapes and sizes. They can be cozy vestibules or wide, sweeping halls. Regardless of their style, they deserve special attention in interior design --particularly your tile flooring. After all, they are the first and last places visitors see in your home. Remember, you never get a second chance to make a great first impression!
 
Decorating the entryway can be a fun challenge. It's not quite a living space, but it serves as a transition area. Start by thinking about how you want to use the space. Is it purely decorative? Maybe you want it to be a gallery for your finest art and furnishings. Or perhaps it needs to be functional with seating for snow boots and cubbies for kids’ backpacks.
 
Functional spaces can be beautiful, too! Look for furniture that offers storage solutions. Choose décor that gives a sneak peek of the style you'll find throughout the rest of the house. Let your entryway shine!

Here are some fun and stylish ways to design a show-stopping foyer:

• Hang a chic mirror to make the space feel more open—and give yourself that perfect last look before heading out the door.
• Add bold pops of color for a splash of personality! Think vibrant rugs, lamps, or even a statement piece of furniture to liven up a neutral space.
• Bring the outdoors in with fresh flowers, dried floral arrangements, or eye-catching potted plants to add warmth and charm right as you enter.
• Go big with dramatic lighting! A chandelier or pendant light can instantly elevate the space.
• Got a two-story foyer? Use that vertical space to showcase oversized art, tapestries, or even a stunning stained glass piece.

One of the best ways to enhance your foyer is by installing a stunning floor! Consider beautiful options like porcelain tile or marble. Your visitors will immediately notice the flooring when they step in. A fantastic floor ties together all your design elements beautifully.
 
Make sure the entry flooring is easy to clean and can handle heavy foot traffic. It will see plenty of water and dirt, so if you love the look of hardwood, porcelain wood tile is a great alternative! Check out these exciting options from MSI for some inspiration!
