Oh, entryways. Do we give you enough love? Probably not, because we’re always in and out of your oh, so functional space, always just passing through. But let’s take a moment to pause in this transitional space—if only to realize that foyers are the perfect spot to experiment with fun, new home decor.
Unlike other rooms in your home that might require a bit more thoughtful planning, foyers are all about playful transformations. So why not try switching things up, getting creative, and bringing in the funk designwise?
And so, this week’s featured trending Instagram decor offers a variety of ways to bring the perfect balance of folksy-inspired style into your foyer, from the lighting fixtures all the way down to the floors.
Here are five gorgeous looks that will make you want to spend more time in your entryway.
No. 1: Edison bulb cluster pendant
We love that old country vibe of vintage bulbs, but there’s something extra special about this cluster pendant featured by @sherinegridesign.
“Edison bulbs have been given a modern twist and a more refined application as clients continue to find inspiration in transitional style spaces,” says designer Devin Shaffer, of Decorilla. “With changes in materials such as the globe style and finishes of the fixtures, Edison bulbs have become not just larger but also more sculptural. This shape makes them a great fit for clustered lighting fixtures in areas that don’t need high levels of light, such as entryways and dining rooms.”

No. 2: Southwest runner
Whether you have gorgeous hardwood floors that you want to protect or a scratched-up veneer that requires a light cover-up—no one will know the difference once you throw down a Southwest-inspired runner rug like this one from @onedelightfulhome.
“The popularity of Southwest runners is likely due to clients finding themselves bored with the neutral wall colors in their homes,” says Shaffer. “Southwest patterns are very similar to Persian and kilim motifs—filled with color and texture. The design allows them to work with almost any color palette and nearly all surrounding design elements. The rugs are also crafted with highly durable materials, making them popular for high-traffic areas such as entryways and hallways.”

No. 3: Mirror gallery wall
Are you looking to brighten up a ho-hum and cramped entryway? Then you might just want to try creating a mirrored gallery wall like this one from @nestofpetals.
“Mirror gallery walls create a space that feels open and light, making them perfect for any area that feels a bit small or tight,” says Mark Feldman, chief home officer of Riverbend Home. “This year, we’re seeing people combine the vintage style trend with the mirror gallery wall by selecting mirrors that have antiqued or patinated finishes and choosing as many unusual shapes as they can. So mix and match styles, go with different finishes, create something that’s visually fun.”

No. 4: Farmstead bench
There’s something about handmade wooden furniture that ties eclectic spaces together, and this farmstead bench from @burlapandrust is no exception.
“This wood grain is more rugged than polished, much like something you’d find in handcrafted furniture on a farmstead,” says Shaffer. “A storage bench like this one is the way to go for storing seasonal clothing and footwear. And wood is one of those materials that can easily be cleaned and restored. It also brings a naturalistic touch to any space.”
Get the look: If you aren’t lucky enough to have a wooden bench already hiding somewhere among the family heirlooms, shop this Clemens solid-wood bench.
No. 5: Block-print accent wall
Accent walls are huge this season. But we especially love the block-print retro style of this accent wall from @theboyerhome as it’s making the absolute most of a small space.
“Patterned wallpaper, especially with bold botanical prints, is one of the biggest wall trends we’re seeing in 2022,” says Feldman. “This wall works well since the colors are still neutral. It’s bold, but not overwhelming. Combined with the wood frames and vintage console, this style works well for multiple design styles and echoes most closely traditional-with-a-twist or modern cottage vibe.”
Get the look: Adorn your favorite foyer wall with this Shirley Scandinavian block tulip wallpaper.
