Bonjour and welcome to our photo gallery of luxury foyer designs. And as always, sharing “The Little Plus” (“Le Petit Plus”), hope you enjoy…
The foyer is the hearth of your home. Did you know that in France foyer also means family home? Such truth in that. In a way, when you enter someone’s foyer, you are entering more than a home. You are entering the life of a family. Now, no matter how large or small your foyer, it is your grand entrance and is the opening chapter of the story that is your home. It is also your chance to make people feel welcome from the moment they enter your home.
There are many options to consider when designing your foyer. In general, our approach is quality over quantity. And we want to make sure it reflects who we are. We have a simple Art of the Home test to find out whether or not a foyer is resonating. We call it the blind test. Say you hide the name on your mailbox, would someone that knows you be able to tell that this is your home. If the answer is yes, then your foyer is where it needs to be. However, if the answer is no, you may need to infuse a bit more of some of your heart and soul into your grand entrance.
So if you are building your own dream home, redesigning your entrance, simply redecorating or just want to walk through many different styles of foyers, you will find some great ideas in these luxury foyer designs. Enjoy and beautiful day to you!
1. Ivy League…
The Little Plus: the two tall ivy topiaries bring life to this beautiful entryway. They also add color and the terracotta planters add a touch a rusticity to this formal luxury foyer — a great touch! Also, note how the two-tone wood staircase brings the light cream color of the porcelain tiles and the elegant living room hardwood floor together.
2. East meets West on the Foyer…
ZillowThe Little Plus: the rustic iron candle chandelier welcoming guests and reflecting in the gorgeous over-sized mirror gently resting on the foyer table.
3. Follow the Lights…
The Little Plus: the deep tray ceiling with two clear glass cloche pendant lights is an eye-catcher. The antique commode fits right in. Also, the hardwood floor pattern frames the foyer space beautifully.
4. Recital in the Hall…
The Little Plus: the crown molding throughout this luxury foyer is gorgeous. The painted hardwood staircase with classy color coordination between the floor rug and the stair runner reigns over the foyer.
5. Festival de Cannes…
The Little Plus: this is actually a foyer to a home theater basement — can you believe it! The brick accent wall and tall bronze statues add a majestic feel to this space. And how about the “Paris-Cinéma-Cannes” vintage plate welcoming guests thru the doors? This is sure to be an interesting conversation piece!
6. Fleur de Lys in the Foyer…
The Little Plus: the marble top French style claw foot marquetry commode is an eye-catching and very unique piece. The simple medallion at the center of the marble floor adds contrast and personality.
7. Hanging Marble Staircase…
The Little Plus: the sophisticated soft velvet upholstered backless bench with high rolled arms. Love how the bench is framed by two tall mirrors decorated with masks from the Carnaval of Venice — beautiful details sharing the life of the owners. Love it!
8. Custom Made with Love…
The Little Plus: the artisan custom made floor is breathtaking! So much patience and attention must have been poured into this diamond shape wood and porcelain floor framed by a beautiful ceramic design including four fleur de Lys. Also, note how the wood tone of the floor calls back the gorgeous arched custom-built doors. Wow, just wow!
9. Royal Seating…
The Little Plus: the metallic silver with golden toned Louis XVI chair reigns in this high ceiling luxury foyer.
10. Mosaic Beauty…
The Little Plus: love the stone staircase with beautifully designed wrought iron balusters. Also, the sculpted high ceiling is magnificent, the mosaic floors superb and the soft earth tones of the walls and ccustom-made dining room door are so soothing. The adorable golden retriever in the back certainly thinks so!
11. Marrying Crystal and Wrought Iron
The Little Plus: the octagon and dot tile pattern of the foyer floor. This subtle floor choice allows the foyer space to stand on its own and lead you towards the living room through a welcoming arched entrance. Also, the brown hues of the diamond tiles call back the wood of the wrought iron staircase. And it was daring to partner a crystal chandelier and an iron chandelier but that also helps with marking the transition of both spaces (foyer to living room and vice versa) since both have candle lights, it unites them!
12. Waiting for You…
The Little Plus: love the warmth of the natural saltillo tiles. And notice the transom above the solid wood double doors which adds natural light to this large foyer when the doors are closed.
13. Century Classic Stripes…
The Little Plus: the French antique marble top commode under the staircase sets the tone. Also, the vintage plates add a nice touch to this traditional entryway.
14. Checkered floors…
The Little Plus: this high ceiling foyer with a polished black and white checkered floor expresses elegance. The double arched French doors illuminate both the foyer and staircase with natural light — so refreshing!
15. Modern Antiquity…
The Little Plus: the creative diamond tile pattern to accommodate the beautiful faux interior columns and call back the wall color. All of this results in great harmony in both layout and color palette.
16. Wish Upon a Star…
The Little Plus: the bronze celestial globe chandelier illuminates the eight point star mosaic on the tumbled travertine tiles. Earth tones are so warm — great feel!
17. Maharajah Elephant in the House…
The Little Plus: the accent wall with warm tones in the dining room grabs your attention and provides contrast with the elegant and subtle decorative moldings on the foyer walls.
