15 Contemporary Foyer and Entry Way Design Ideas

Not all homes allocate a space for the foyer or entry way, especially if their area is limited. But some people still prefer to have one. A foyer is a lobby or an entry way from the front door that leads to a room or to the house. There are different ways to design a foyer. Some would merely add wall decors while others place a table where some decors are also added on top of it. There are also spacious foyers that can serve as an area to entertain guests and other social activities.

If we talk of ordinary homes, these also have foyers though not as spacious enough to hold social events. These are usually small areas but can make your guests feel welcomed merely by seeing how well-designed it is. So today, we will show you 15 contemporary foyer designs where you can get ideas on what to do with your home’s foyer.
