Stunning Entrances for your Grand Villas

Grandeur, yet detailed Foyer Spaces for your Villas!

Your foyer is not merely the entrance to your house, but this relatively small sliver of space actually sets the tone for the rest of your interior design. When someone steps through your front door, this is the area that will create the first impression- and Masterverk acknowledges its capacity to make or break the aesthetic appeal of your house.

Since the foyer typically opens directly into the drawing room where you’ll be entertaining guests, there needs to be a synergy in the design of the two areas. That’s exactly what has been achieved when designing this foyer. The foyer and the sitting area have been treated as a unit, with an intricate decorative MDF cutwork partition allowing a visual continuity while retaining the zonal separation.

The statement piece, a gigantic round mirror set in an intricate frame, is both ornamental and functional. Who wouldn’t want to do a final check on their appearance before stepping out of the house, right?

The mirror theme has been continued in the only piece of furniture here- the large veneer console with mirror fascia. While providing ample storage space, the console also ties the aesthetic of the foyer together. The lamp and decorative pitchers on the console reinforce the antique metal theme set by the statement mirror, and lend character to the area. The uncluttered yet exuberant foyer is the perfect marriage of functional and ornamental.

Attractive and Functional Storage Units

Console tables, shoe cabinets, and wall shelves are all acceptable and expected furniture in a foyer. How you elevate these beyond mere functional units, is where your creativity comes in!

You can have console tables and shoe cabinets, either as standalone units or built into the wall, based on the amount of space you have available. The same goes for wall shelves. Make sure you don’t clutter the area by shoving in too many pieces of furniture. You can have your storage units made out of wood or metal, based on how you are doing up the rest of your home.

Try to imbibe some uniqueness into the storage unit you pick, so it can serve as an anchor piece for your foyer. You can display lamps, figurines, candles, books, and various knick knacks on top of these storage units, to lend personality to your foyer.

Let there Be Light (and Life)

Use mirrors and plants cleverly to serve as accent pieces, and also to make your foyer seem larger and fresher.

Mirrors, especially large ones with ornate frames, make the perfect showstopper for a foyer space. They are stunning pieces of decor, and reflect light to expand the space. To add to that, your guests would secretly thank you- after all, who doesn’t want to discreetly re-check their appearance after stepping in?

Plants are a great way to add a breath of fresh air (literally) into your foyer. Plants are beautiful and add a pop of colour and liveliness to any space. Particularly in foyers, which are notoriously cramped, even a small plant can make a world of difference. You can also experiment with interesting planters to add to the aesthetic appeal of your foyer.

Capitalize on Ceiling and Wall Space

Foyers are typically short on space, and it is best to not cramp the floor space with furniture and decor. Instead, make use of the ceilings and wall space to level up your foyer!

You can make use of interesting light fixtures on your walls and ceilings, to bring together the aesthetic of your foyer space, and establish a “theme”. From industrial fixtures, to opulent chandeliers, you can find ample options in the market. Display photo frames, souvenirs, and eclectic wall hangings to make use of your wall-space.

Make Your Floor Pop

We tend to overlook the floor when we are doing upa space. Adding a rug or carpet can completely change the look of your foyer. Pick textures and colors for your rugs and carpets that tie the design of your foyer together. You can go for a neutral shade for a cohesive look, or be a little brave by adding a pop of colour on the floor- either ways, it’ll add personality to your foyer, and create a welcoming aura.

The perfect foyer is welcoming, aesthetically pleasing, and functional- a difficult balance to achieve if you don’t put enough thought into it. Build your foyer around these 4 building blocks, and add your personal touch to create a foyer that perfectly encapsulates the essence of your home and household.
