How to Make Your Entryway More Inviting
The entryway is the first area of your home you and your guests see upon arrival, so you want an inviting aesthetic. This is an easy feat when you have suitable front door window coverings. Viking Blinds carries several styles of Hunter Douglas window treatments that are ideal for your home’s entryway. We carry a wide selection of interior window treatments to fit any design, door, and taste. We’re excited to share with you some ways that we believe you can make your entryway more inviting.
Enhance Natural Light
Natural light makes any room in your home feel more inviting. Vignette® Roman Shades are a fantastic way to take advantage of natural light in your entryway. Sheer and light-filtering opacities will enhance sunlight, and the top-down/bottom-up design gives you more light without losing your privacy. Pirouette® Sheer Shades are delicate and have clean lines, making them an exceptional choice for minimalist styles and an airy aesthetic.
Versatile Front Door Blinds
Horizontal blinds are one of the most popular coverings for windows throughout your home because of their superior light control and versatile style. Parkland® Wood Blinds and EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds are fantastic for a classic, traditional style. You can tilt the slats to see outside without raising the blinds entirely, and they’re available in a wide range of stains and solid paint color finishes.
Consider Cellular Shades for Coverings for Front Doors
Duette® Cellular Shades are one of our favorite coverings for front doors with glass because they bring a distinctive texture while gently diffusing light. Cellular shades are also great for front doors because they’re the most insulating window treatments available. Choose from over 150 color and fabric combinations and add the Duolite® feature to enjoy an opaque liner behind a sheer front shade for enhanced functionality.
Cover Your Sidelights
Those tall, narrow windows that flank your front door also need covering. If you have sidelights, choose their coverings first to ensure easy coordination with the treatments on the door. Covering your sidelights increases privacy and security and protects your flooring from sun damage. These are our favorite covering solutions for sidelights:
- Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds
- Silhouette® Sheer Shades
- Luminette® Sheer Panels
- Duette® Cellular Shades
- Heritance® Wood Shutters
More Inviting Entryway Ideas
Adding a few creature comforts to your entryway will go a long way in making people feel at home.
- A mirror is a great way to give your appearance a last-minute check before leaving or for guests arriving.
- If you have the space, a small bench or chair will make it easier to put shoes on and take them off.
- Storage is essential in entryways because this is where you keep shoes, jackets, keys, and other everyday items. You can use large woven baskets or a bench with storage space underneath.
- A large, colorful area rug helps prevent slips and falls from wet shoes and is also an excellent way to introduce visitors to your interior style.
