Create a focal point in your foyer or receiving area. This will draw your visitors’ eyes and create a good impression of your home. Hang a large mirror to make a small space look bigger. Or have an indoor wall fountain installed to generate an instant soothing ambience for anyone who walks in the door.

Draw your guests’ eyes toward a blank wall by hanging unique abstract art. You may also want to decorate your receiving area with potted plants for a cool and refreshing atmosphere. If you prefer that guests remove their shoes before walking on your carpet, place a small rug and a tastefully designed shoe rack beside the front door to receive shoes or boots.
