15 Beautiful Foyer Living Room Divider Ideas

According to our friend we call Wikipedia; a foyer is usually a small entry area or room by the front door. Other public rooms such as the living room, dining room, and family room typically attached to it, along with any main stairway. It was initially intended as an “airlock”, separating the fireplace-heated rooms from the (colder, in winter) front entrance, where cold air infiltration made for cold drafts and low temperatures. It is commonly used for outer garment and umbrella storage for both residents and guests.

So, today, we will be showing you 15 Beautiful Foyer Living Room Divider Ideas which is pretty much the alternative of putting up an entire wall from the foyer to any room in the house adjacent to it. They come in pseudo-walls which some of our friends call a make-shift wall, it is a full scale wall except that it is hollow since it is not really load bearing, others come in cute designed screens or strips of walls either vertical and horizontal wood or steel treatments. Hold on to your seats and check our list out!
