Two Story Foyer Decorating Ideas
Many homeowners are unsure of how to decorate their 2 story foyer.
Many homeowners are unsure of how to decorate their two-story entryway. In addition, tall foyers are puzzling because there is a lot of space but not much room for furniture, These foyers have tall walls of drywall, large front doors, archways, and staircases that extend out into the foyer. That is a lot of elements to deal with. The best way to solve the problem is to break it down into the parts of a room.
WALLS
Most two-story foyers have large expanses of drywall. Therefore, [t is better to use fewer large pieces rather than a lot of small items. Too many small pieces will look busy. Don’t be afraid to go big. This will give your foyer the WOW factor.

FLOOR
There is usually room for a foyer table or a chest. Use something special. The foyer is everyone’s first impression of your home and why not make it extraordinary? Choose a chest or table that says something about your style.
The floor of the foyer should also have a beautiful rug. In addition, there might also be a place for a pedestal with a piece of art on it. Therefore, use pieces that are special but do not use too many. In a large foyer, a pedestal on each side of the doorway also can look great.

CEILING
Ceilings are sometimes forgotten in interior design. The ceiling of the foyer is a great place to add detail. A built-up multi-piece crown molding can add drama to your tall foyer. Additionally, the large dramatic chandelier can make your room. Make sure your chandelier is properly sized.
PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER
Most importantly, what needs to be done in your foyer is to make selections that complement each other. This is the hardest part and this is where a professional interior designer can be a great help. Designers are great sources for artwork, rugs, lighting, and furniture and some are good at architectural detailing.
