Foyer Image Gallery – Foyer Design Ideas with Staircases

A Foyer (or the entryway, originating from the Latin word “focus”) is usually found in large houses and is the first area someone steps in just after entering the house from the front door. In larger houses, a foyer is usually a square or rectangular hallway which leads to the other rooms, the staircase to the upper floor etc. Smaller foyers look sometimes like a narrow corridor which leads to the rest of the house.

Home owners don’t usually spend much time in the foyer area, but on the other hand, this space gives the first impression of the style for the rest of the house. Therefore, decorating this space in a chic way will tell much about your own personality and décor taste.

A foyer adds also extra convenience to the whole home since people usually equip their foyer area with useful and functional furniture such as extra storage cabinets, coat wardrobe, shelves, hooks and seating.

As we said above, usually in large homes, the foyer leads to the big main staircase which connects the two levels of the house. The foyer image gallery shown below illustrates a range of foyer entryways with staircases ranging from minimalist designs, to classic foyer designs. The staircases vary also in style and include different shapes such as curved staircase, spiral shape staircase, circular stairs, double staircase etc.

So have a look to our foyer image gallery below and if you spot an interesting design don’t hesitate to draw ideas for your own home as well.
