Design Examples / Modern / Foyer


The Foyer is your home's greeting card. It should make your guests feel welcome. This Foyer is complete with vaulted ceilings, plenty of hardwood and a contemporary chandelier. From the hardwood flooring to the custom hand railing, this foyer gives nice hints of things to come in other rooms of the house. Double doors of etched glass trace magical patters of light and shadow in the entry way. High line windows flood the foyer with additional ambient light making the transition from the outdoors to the inside an easy one. A very nice way to begin the experience of any home.


Entry way with glass doors and modern chandelier

Hardwood Floors: Warm and inviting, these hardwood floors are laid in a horizontal pattern in the foyer to lend a feeling of stability and direction as a guest enters the home. Covered with four coats of polyurethane this hardwood floor will give many years of service to this foyer.

Doors: This pair of double doors offer security and elegance. Double glazed with triple thick security glass on the inside and etched patterns on the outside, this elegant pattern invites the visitor into the home. Accented with bright brass hardware, these doors look magnificent.

Accessories: Potted floor plants and a few small wall hangs add spice to the foyer. Small decorations in this small area make the foyer feel cozy and inviting.

Handrails: Custom hardwood hand rails in the Arts and Crafts style, match the wood floors and add a touch of hand crafted elegance to the foyer. Functional and durable these handrails are sturdy under hand as you make your way up or down the stairs.

Lighting: An elegant brass chandelier with frosted glass panels adorns the center of this room and dispearses light evenly throughout. The contemporary sculpting can be greatly appreciated from below as well as the second floor.
