What do you think? Which of these entry halls do you like best…simple “less is more decor” foyer above…or the decked out designed foyer below.
Which would you want to come home to every day?
I love the wide plank wood floors, the pale blue front door and the paneled walls in the first photo.
I also really like the black penny round tile floors, sisal stair case runner, the black framed art and mirrors and the great Madeline Weinrib rug in the photo below.
Hmmm…thinking.
So…which do you prefer…I have my pick…once you weigh in I’ll let you know what I think tomorrow.
Comment below please!
Happy Monday!

Definitely the second one. Looks warmer and more inviting.
I’m a fan of the second option. Clean, crisp and functional with my favorite blue and white combination.
Different stages….I like both because I am in stage 1 right now….
I’d create something in between. But if I have to choose, less is always more… #1.
I love both and actually have the picture of the second foyer saved!!!! I love it so much – so my vote is with number two! Both are nice though.

Number one please. Looks more like a place I would like to live in rather than a show place.
#1 is nice.. simple in design, I like wall panels.. but personally I prefer foyer #2, for its refinement, architectural detail, picures.. it’s more elegant

I don’t think #1 is less at all. There are actually more elements in the room that look cluttered to me; the leaning of the small art on the floor is likely the cause. #2 looks has strong cohesive design voice that looks as if it’s been curated.
#2 is my pick. I love the high ceilings and architectural detail. When the fixed elements are already amazing, anything else you put with them will look terrific. So, the Madeline Weinrib rug, huge mirror and classic sisal up the stairs…icing on the cake!
The 2nd is me! It is a very welcoming, not too formal, and eclectic foyer! Adore!

Def the second. I’m not a fan of pics leaning against a wall on the floor. That just looks stupid to me. I love the second one, design rug on the floor and the neutral sisal looking up the stairs. The coat hooks spaced out also are nice and functional, without looking like a wad of coats ( which is why I have!)
I am for sure a decked out foyer girl. To me it’s a room and it’s sets the tone for the experience I want to have in my home.
I used to be a No.1–East Coast. Now I am definitely No. 2–European chic. That’s said, I love them both.

Love them both (is that the ‘chiang mai dragon’ clad on the mirror frame in the 1st image ??)..but the second one is more my style..its really fabulous..xx meenal
I’m voting for #2, very beautiful, but not overboard. It’s got perfect colors, too!
#2 is my vote, it looks finished, layered and give and inside peek to
the homeowner!

Totally the second. I am so midwest, the pictures leaning against the floor in the first example look like you have forgotten to place them on the wall! If you are looking for a foyer to welcome you into your home…the second is my choice all the way.
love it, specially the rug. perfect colors and the vase. thanks for the post.
No. 2! I reminds me of a real family home with the whole clan visiting for a week with the grandkids, and I’ me and Dad/Grandad are in the kitchen making breakfast before anyone is up.
No. 1 is for more hippie/chic/minimalist decor. It’s nice, but I need to dress my house to feel at home.
Definitely the first one! So casual, relaxed and comforting. I love it!

Number 2 is my favorite… but I am claustrophobic and would never live in a place with that narrow of an entrance. My entrance is Big and Wide.
definitely no. 1
