The entryway is an afterthought in most homes, which is strange because it is the first thing the people you love see when they arrive, and the last thing they see before they leave. It is an emotionally weighted room, even though it's usually the one people decorate least.
There are a few specific things an entryway piece has to do. It has to hold the room on its own — usually without a lot of supporting furniture. It has to work in the specific light of the doorway, which tends to be warm, sideways, and seasonal. And it has to welcome, not assault. An entryway piece that fights for attention makes arriving home feel like a chore.
With that in mind, the pieces we've pulled for this collection share three things: they reward a second glance (never a first shout), they hold a wall at modest scale, and they bring warmth to a kind of room that often defaults to grey.
