Evans, GA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/12/2014 -- They say seven seconds is all it takes to make a first impression, and Bill Beazley Homes wants its homeowners to make a good one. In their latest blog “How to Achieve a Designer Foyer without the Designer Price Tag,” they explain how the entryway is the first glimpse visitors have of a home and the importance of making it look welcoming. With their six easy steps, homeowners learn how with the right paint color, furniture, and personal touches they can get a designer foyer for less.

When crafting a designer foyer from scratch, the first step is to create a focal point using furniture or a dramatic paint color. A homeowner can also achieve a spectacular effect by securing a grand style mirror or clock to the center of the foyer wall.

The next step is to incorporate stripes, either on the runner or with wallpaper. Stripes optically invite guests into the home and make them feel welcome.

The third step is to select a table. For boxy rooms, it is best to use a round table with smooth, finished edges. An added benefit to tables is that they provide extra storage space underneath.

Step four is to add a vase. “A large vase in the center of the table, preferably with color or pattern, adds height and interest,” says Bill Beazley Homes.

Step five is to provide a personal touch. Homeowners should stock their vase with flowers or branches or their preference, and surround it with other objects that reflect the homeowner’s personal style.

The final step is to include other decorative elements. Examples of these include boxes, pillows, family crests, picture frames, candles, sculptures, and trays. The rule of thumb is no more than seven objects on a 48-inch round table. Too many objects can make the room feel too crowded.
