What is your home’s entry saying about you?

First impressions are crucial.  Muddy boots, jackets lying about, warped and stained floors—these do not send a “welcome to our home” message.

Dedicate a space to coat and shoe storage; set a bench or chair inside the door to allow for easy boot removal, and hang artwork or display greenery.  Your entry is the first peek at what’s in store for you and your guests.

Hang a mirror to aid in those last-minute-checks before you’re out the door, and include a shelf or small table below, complete with a small basket or tray to catch keys and mail.

Consider an entry flooring upgrade to really set the stage.

Our preference:  ceramic or porcelain tile, as it is impervious to sand, salt, and moisture, and comes in textured finishes that are slip-resistant and hide stains. There are many decorative yet durable ways to cover your entry’s floors.
