When is the last time you really thought about your foyer? Chances are,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], if you are like most people, the entryway, or foyer, is a part of the house that you gloss over. You bring people in, take their coats and shuffle them right past this area of your home.
Why is it that the part of your home that is the first impression people get of your home is one that you ignore. If you are like a lot of people the reason is not that you just don't appreciate the foyer, you simply don't know what to do with it.
Ask a designer. The hardest areas to decorate in a home are small ones. You don't want to overdo the space and it's hard to find furniture to fit that small environment, so you just ignore it. Not anymore. We're going to give you a few tips to appreciate this less-loved area of the home.
First, think of the uses of the foyer. Since it is the room closest to the front door, it is a natural place to have some type of furniture to set down things as you come in to the house. This is why you should consider console tables for this area.
You may be asking yourself why not just use any old table to fill the void? After all, you can put whatever you want on a tabletop, right? Well, this is true,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but console tables have many more uses in the foyer.
Many console tables have drawers or shelves below the tabletop. These are places to keep things you need. If you go out at night a lot,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you may want to have a flashlight in that drawer. If you have a lot of kids coming and going, the shelves could be a great place to put their sports bag or even their books,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so they don't forget first thing in the morning.
The other benefit of console tables is they have a little more personality than regular tables do in the foyer. Because of the shelves,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], drawers and possible tray or other decorative tops,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a console table in the foyer can really set the stage for the rest of your house.
No matter the style, you can find console tables to match your décor. If you have a Victorian theme, you can have a Victorian console table with a simple vase of flowers on top to give people a hint of what the rest of the house will hold. Have an old country style home? There's a console table that will match that theme as well and let visitors know what they will be walking into as they make their way through your house.
The days when the foyer was just a room to leave your umbrella, shoes or coat before you make your way into the rest of your home are over. Now you can turn the foyer into a real entryway into your home, a place that sets the scene and lets everyone get a taste of what you have in store for them.
The manageress and a guy behind a till were the only people in the shop and I made my way to the walk-in beer fridge at the back. Over the months they had got to know me well and no doubt had their own thoughts about me. But I was probably one of their best customers so they always treated me politely. They could not have failed to notice the huge amounts of booze that I was buying.As I made my way to the beer fridge the shop assistant appeared out of nowhere and greeted me. "Sawubona," he said. He seemed to stare right into my very soul. I wondered what was he thinking. He sometimes helped me to the car and today would be no different. No doubt I was a shock to him as well. Maybe I was too paranoid. Sure I was gaunt, filthy and sickly-looking but then maybe there were plenty of people like me coming in and out of the bottle store every day. Maybe all that intrigued them was where the money was coming from. That must be a mystery as I looked like a typical down and out. Bugger it. Let them ponder.
The cold beer fridge revived me a little and I always stayed a couple of minutes longer than necessary. I found my beer and asked the assistant to help me carry the case to the till. There I fumbled for the money and handed it over to the guy. He remained silent and passed me the change which I gave to the assistant. He mumbled a quiet "Siyabonga," and carried the case to the car.I felt that I had no choice any more. The liquor consumed all my mental and physical energy. The people who came and went in my life saw me as a babbling wreck. I comforted myself with the thought that they should see me when I was deprived of my beers.I stopped at the fridge long enough to sink a cold one and then walked into the office. My entrance went unnoticed and only Mary looked up and asked how I was feeling. Plonking myself down, I couldn't fail to notice that it had turned into a lovely day.
