Foyers and Entries

The other night I was watching, "Beyond Spelling Manor," on HGTV, which is Candy Spelling designing her new home in California, and looking for and purchasing a condo in NYC. I have enjoyed both episodes so far. The condo I liked best was the one she purchased at One Beacon Court at 151 East 58th Street in NYC, it was 2,090 sq ft with 2 bedrooms and 2.5 baths.


Within the condo there was a large gallery entrance. A foyer, a large foyer. What I really liked about it was that it only gave a glimpse of the other interior living space, but it was large enough to show the owners art, a place to sit, a place to drop the mail when coming home. So many new homes skip the foyer entry altogether and while it might not be the most used space in the home, I think it is a critical space. I gathered some inspirational photographs of some foyers I am loving.

The foyer is where we welcome guest, but it is also where we accept packages, and sometimes keep people at arms length - at least for a moment. How do you view your foyer, is it a reflection of the rest of your home?
