necessary touch to set the tone. Choose a welcoming scent. Mat recommends Cedar Leaf & Lavender from Nest for a soothing aroma or Sicilian Tangerine for a little more spice. The idea is to pick a scent that plays with your home décor and creates an intentional ambiance.

In every entryway, you’ll also want something on the wall. “A mirror can really help reflect some additional light as well as open up the space a little bit more,” Mat says. Or you may opt for artwork instead. The piece you choose should be the right size. For example, a smaller piece of art will be swallowed by a large entry hallway while an oversized painting can dwarf a smaller space. Regardless of size, this is a good opportunity to bring color into the room. In the end, you’ll be graced with an entryway that serves a purpose and creates a welcoming atmosphere for guests of your home.
