Entryway Decor

What art works in an entryway?

Pieces with enough personality to be noticed in the four seconds someone spends taking off a coat. A howdy print, a hometown landmark, a pink bust. The entry is the first wall a guest sees and usually the smallest, which makes it the easiest place in the house to be bold.

What size for a narrow entry wall?

A narrow strip of wall can carry a print that would fight the furniture anywhere else, so go vertical: 11x14 or 16x20 beside a mirror, or two or three 11x14s down a hall.

Should entryway art match the living room?

It should introduce it, not copy it. Pick one color from the next room and let the entry piece carry it louder.
