First impressions are lasting ones, which is why the foyer takes on such an important role in a home’s design. Like a prologue to a play, the foyer introduces the theme and piques interest. It invites those who enter to step inside and see what lies beyond. The foyer may be one of the smaller spaces in a home but its significance speaks volumes. As the opening act, it can subdue the senses or stir the imagination with a surprising work of art, a stunning mirror or a unique find. It’s all about creating an unforgettable moment. |
