They say first impressions are the most important, so your entryway has a lot to live up to. Even though the space is typically small, it can be a challenge to figure out exactly what you want to do with it.

My favorite entryways always pack a stylish punch. They instantly grab your attention and make you excited to see the rest of the home. This can manifest itself in a lot of different ways. It doesn’t necessarily have to translate to something bold and “out there” (though that is a lot of fun) but can simply mean that the entryway makes a statement with beautiful design.

Here are 10 stylish entryway ideas that grab your attention and immediately set the tone for the rest of the home.
