Whether you have a big budget or not you can produce a formal style in your foyer by making minor alterations like stencilling and coordinating your wall art and vase with flowers to provide some formality to the room. A top notch interior decoration should include alterations to flooring, fixtures, accessories and wall coverings as well as your desk and chair. Window treatments are important to your formal design. For a fabulous design in your foyer try working with velvet drapery with sheer curtains or formal valance. There are several window coverings that go with this style, particularly if you match other fabrics or colors in the room, but you probably want to avoid curtains that are too funky or cutesy. Lighting is essential in any room and the foyer is no exception. To augment your formal design style, you need to pay attention to light fixtures in terms of style as well as type. When you are trying to get a formal theme, you would want to take a look at working with a brass or crystal chandelier with matching table lamps but Remember to stay away from anything that is overly fancy or too rustic looking. A good number of foyers can benefit from overhead lighting as well as wall sconces. It's not critical to buy matching desk, chair, and hall table but the foyer should have plenty of traditional upholstered pieces. To really enhance the formal theme, try using pieces with an antique look. An important element when decorating your foyer with a formal design theme is what you put on the walls. For this theme the colors are important - you should think about adding blues and greens and golds as a paint color. Try using a traditional wallpaper on the walls, or if you want something different go with paint with a chair rail or wallpaper border. You don't have to get too fancy or spend a lot of money and if you are afraid of too much color, simply paint the walls a neutral paint and let the accents in the room do the decorating. Decorative accessories are key to pulling your formal design together. You can dramatically alter the style of your room by simply changing the accessories! Focus on buying wall art, vase with flowers and knick knacks, in patterns and colors complimentary to your formal theme. You'll be amazed at how simple and cheap it is, and what an incredible difference these changes make! You should to add in loads of antiques as well as figurines and you could even try some tea caddies, clocks and nick nacks to really spruce up your foyer. Additional decor like alabaster or bronze statues can give you a professional look like it came from a magazine. What's on your floor can augment the design theme, but if you can not pay for new floors in your foyer then work with your floors by covering them with area rugs that have a formal design. If you are lucky enough to be able to afford new floors, you might consider wall to wall carpet or hardwood floors. One big aspect that you have got to consider when redecorating is the wall space. Even the plainest walls can be made to look good by using great accessories and wall art. Try applying antique style oil paintings or watercolors in vintage frames to your foyer walls to enhance the elegance of your formal decorating theme. Attaining a neat formal look in your foyer can be as easy as changing out a few accessories or as involved as doing a total room remake. Either way, attention to the fine details and making sure to match your furniture and accessories will help you carry out a decorative new formal look that will have your friends thinking you hired a professional designer! |
