These are great tips, but it’s difficult to visualize with the pictures of grander entryways. For modest homes, there are narrow entryways or you’re just falling into the living room or kitchen. I would love to see more practical photos instead of the “Architectural Digest” style homes.
So would i
I would too!
Same!
Ours falls smack dab into our cozy kitchen lol.
Lisa gave us a lot of choices, even for small entries. 9:13; 10:00; 11:11;11:13; 12:49; 12:50... Plants, tray, mirror, bench or chair; ligthining;
Lisa please show the entry way of just a normal 3 bedroom, 1 lounge room home. Very few of us have the grand sweeping staircase, or double doors entry. Most of them have kids, dogs, there will be no calling cards announcing the arrival. We would maybe like to think that this would be great, but realistically!!!
exactly!
Worse yet, those of us who live in APARTMENTS, and NOT the fancy schmancy NYC type, but middle America style! :-(
YES, totally agree!
The only magical thing about those entryways is that they are the size of my whole apartment...
Bigger than my whole apartment.
Our house isn’t much bigger either!
🤣😃😁I totally agree.My Entry way is very narrow.Those Entries looked a bit unrealistic ,not forgetting the $$$$$ those furnishings cost.It would revive my whole house.Mercy
I Said the same thing 🤔waw
If you don't have a constructive comment then it would be best just to move on to something else. It takes a few seconds to leave any kind of comment but a long time to put together a nice presentation.
My small house has no entryway and the front door opens directly into my living room. Can you talk more about creating an entry space in a living room?
I think Julie Khuu had a really good video on this too!
Mine too except I have double front doors and a rectangular shaped living room...long and narrow and super-awkward. :( But when you open my doors, you're looking directly at a wall of built-ins and a fireplace...beautiful room - just no "real" entryway!
@@caseyl2313 😉Before you groan about ugly flat pack furniture, IKEA has several different shallow shoe cabinets w/tilt drawers,〰️range from more modern styles to more traditional.
🔨Some hang on a wall, while others are meant to lean on it (over your footboards). 💲They are affordable. (Sometimes you can find 'em cheaper in return section too.) 🔆The major point is they all fit perfectly down narrow hallways or walkways without impeding on the 👣 footprint🔆.
⚠️ They create a petite landing for
🔑keys (bowl) or 📨mail (small tray). Hang a 🪞mirror or other art above them. Use top ledge as a place to prop & layer 3 pieces of framed art🖼️. Put a plant in pretty pot🪴. Display a pair of small or tall, slim matching lamps🏮 on top on each end. Make a charging station. (Hide the 🔌power cables discreetly under units w/command hooks.)
👩💻Zillions of amazing online hacks🛠️ to tailor these various units to suit your own decor. Take 'em from generic to high style. They are easy to 🖌repaint or reface the exterior in many ways. Hemnes might have the most online tutorials for entryways, but you can adapt most of those same ideas for all units.
Ppl put multiple units side x side〰️& add a fabric runner or woven placemat across tops. Some use a single plank (stained or painted to match) as a topper to unify them. 🤗You're only limited by research skills &/or imagination.
Storage doesn't have to be for shoes👟. You can tuck 🛍️ bags, 🧤mittens, 🧣scarves, library📚 books, 👓sunglasses, etc. Options:
Trones (20 1/2 x 7 1/8 x 15 3/8)
Hemnes (42 1/8 x 8 5/8 x 39 3/4)
Bissa (19 1/4 x 11 x 53 1/8)
Brusali (24 x11 3/4 x 51 2/8)
+ more.

My daughter has a small, thin console table immediately to the right of her entry door. They use it for keys , mail etc ( random lego, or dinosaur may make an appearance) to the left of the door she has a small tasteful bench where they remove their shoes, above the bench are hooks on the wall to hold outerwear, hats and in today’s world face masks. There is a basket at the far end of the bench where shoes are kept. It looks stylish and functions for their family of 4, with 2 young boys ( ages 5 & 2 ) I hope this helps!
@@teresacarle294 i'm def' doing the shoe cabinets in a teeny tiny doorway space ...will pro'ly hack to make them more interesting ...
These are lovely entry ways but many houses don't have grand entryways. How would you style a small entry or an entry for a split level home where you have a small landing pad with stairs going up and down. I would love the history you provide and the examples but I would love to see how to implement in many types of entries.
I lived in a house with split foyer design. Hated it. You open the front door and are immediately faced with either going up or down stairs. There was no room for even a tiny stool. No wall space for hooks.
When I lived in Monterey years ago, I had exactly this type of home. When you opened the door, you hit a wall and the stairs ran up/left and then down/left. You always saw this little bare landing. I placed a rich looking narrow chest of drawers there and a fabulous table lamp with a mirror behind it. Would keep a gorgeous vase with either stargazer lillies or branches etc. Because of the lamp and lighting, everyone who saw the little landing or came in seemed so fascinated by the little display. No space for a bench tho-- guess you could tuck it under just a console...
I live in a bungalow - the front door opens directly into the living room! I've done my best to hang coat hooks and have places for shoes, but it's a small room and a small house so there's a lot of non-entryway things going on there too (TV, piano, toys...) I can't think where I'd put a mirror and I DEFINITELY don't have room for a little table or plants! I guess the upside is that you're already in the middle of the house when you walk in, so it's only a few steps to the dining room table and if we have flowers on that table they are in clear view when you walk in the door.
@@missellienora Exactly the same here, always a challenge!
I just bought a tri level....its a small hallway that has a loving room to the left, the stairs to the right slightly further down the hall and then the entry to tue kitchen a few more feet ahead...i guess i should just get a nice ceiling light that's modern and a nice rug🤷🏽♀️
My entryway is so small that “less is more” feels the most comfortable. And that’s OK! Love that Fifth Element reference 🤣
S!! That is a GREAT approach - it's always good to know your space!!! 💚👏🏻 SO glad you caught that little 90s joke - isn't my editor funny?? 😂😂 Thank you SO much for joining me for some entryway fun this week...so glad I could share a few tips!! 🥰💙
Lisa, great entryway segment. It would be a lot more helpful if you provided more small space examples. A lot of us don’t even have designated entryways in our home.
Still waiting for Part 3 of Window Coverings, specifically blinds. You have me in suspense. Love your energy and style.
I’ve never lived anywhere with entryway space to speak of, but this video does provide food for thought. I mentally went over each space, including the home I grew up in, thinking about how the entryway could’ve been “better”. I love all these informative videos!
Marnie!! I am so happy that you enjoyed this video!!! 💛 Think of your entry space as the first impression of your ENTIRE home to your guests, whether the "entryway" is like a living room or even a kitchen!! 🤗 Thank you so so much for tuning in this AM - so glad this gave you some insight on how to improve an entryway space!!! 👏🏼🥰❤️
Great, but agree with previous comment that it would be helpful to gets some ideas for those of us whose front door opens to the (small) living room.
Hey Cat! Yes, I talk all about how to create an entry in my small spaces video (the most recent one) Hope this helps!!! xoxoxoxo
.
Hello. I'm trying to find the video
This entryways blowed my mind... they are beautiful, and they are soooo big. Now I have a complex, because whole my apartament is smaller. All I could insert in my one-and-a-half-square-meters entryway is a mirror! And I did it! And it works!
Glad you did it. Glad it worked!
I’m so glad I found you!!! I’ve been taking your advice ever since I found you. You’ve helped us make wise decisions with decorating our new home from paint, shapes of furniture, styles, color schemes, themes, plants, size of furniture, etc., etc., and now entryways! My husband would watch your videos with occasionally and he was happy for me because you, your personality brings such happiness to the room and especially me. He just sadly passed away, unfortunately and I want you to know, Lisa, you were a great part of “our” lives and trying to make our “home sweet home”
I like Lisa's positive and enthusiastic comments. She embraces so many styles and adds variety to design.
Oh thank you!
I just love your energy and how passionate you are in your work and especially your sense of humor. There’s always something to learn from your videos! ❤️
Judith!! I LOVE hearing this - I am so glad that you guys are enjoying the videos just as much as I love making them!!! 🙈 I absolutely love this community - I don't know what I'd do without you guys!!! 🤩💕 Thank you so much for this sweet comment and tuning in this AM, you just made my entire morning!!! 🥰💜😘😘
I also am interested in a video about downsizing to an apartment
Seems like you guys really want to see this!!! 🙌🏼 I LOVE making videos on the small spaces series, I will add this to my list of topics to cover!! 💗📝 Thank you so much for watching and being part of this AMAZINGGG community!! 😊❤️😘
Agree - sent kids to college and moved from a big villa to a neat townhouse.
Getting rid of things, respecting negative space and letting the flow of life take it’s time have been my lessons so far. (As in, I’ve changed my kitchen curtains three times before I’m finally happy. You can’t always tell what works until you’ve lived there a while)
Yes please please! Same… kids out grandkids now sold family home & downsized to a luxury apt w amenities. BIGGEST 2 QUESTIONS MANY IF US HAVE: HOW TO MAKE GUEST BEDROOM INTO MULTI PURPOSE ROOM (My Office, maybe a trundle bed?? & play area for grandkids… do I walk off w bookshelves or screens to separate areas or PLS HEEELLLP!). But… adjusting is difficult w rules & builders grade off white carpet & walls, white trim, blinds, smaller kitchen & bathrooms, etc. … need help with some ideas. And really? No area rugs huh on the carpet? (Watched every video you’ve put out & love ya!) Trying to keep tone on tone, very simple w no clutter & combine a few mid-century modern pieces w earthy things… like lots of real plants & warm woods. Id love to incorporate some more black like switching lighting/faucets etc ti matte black but need HELP? I did buy a live edge table w black resin & black west elm wood chairs have Grey low profile sectional w concrete legs) but ??? Love new Japandi style & think I could easily swing that way? still w HELP since I’ve not gotten past items listed. White Floor to Ceiling linen type curtains black rod seem a must not dark correct?
Related to that for me would be:
How to create the sense of an entryway in a small house, where the door simply opens directly into the small living room. I need to come up with something that serves the ‘entry hall’ purposes (place for keys/mail/purse/bag/remove coat in winter) until I’m ready to proceed into the rest of the house. I moved from a house of over 2000 sq. ft. with an attached garage that led into a mud room, into a tiny 820 sq. ft house with street parking near the front door. (Unwanted divorce...stupid...but here I am...) I’ve played around a little, but...it’s just barely working. Help?
Edit: I should have clarified that I’m now in a small, Midwestern village RENTAL. 😆 So I can’t count on the landlord being down for me to ask for/put in a can light...chandelier would be out of place...God forbid, the Boob Light.... You just open the door and there you are in the corner of a 10’ x 15’ room, looking at two love seats, and a chair and a half (plus end tables and lamps of course). Oh and farmhouse kitsch...😂 Just no. This is a rooster-free zone.
Anyone feel challenged yet??
I will forever appreciate you Lisa Holt. You've helped my family a lot,since the pandemic till now your advices and lessons are inspirational and helpful to us.
My husband and I have been able to be minimal, conscious in spending,saving and lnves,ting wisely. We have been able to earn on a weekly basis and it helps the family a lot. You're such a blessing to this generation. We all love♥️😊
Lisa Is more than a blessing to us. She has changed lots of families and teenagers. We all love you Lisa.
I will love to be your friend Mrs Emily so you can share some ideas to my husband about your earning thank you.
Hey Emily I hope it won't be such a big deal to ask you what you invest in?
@@danielleonard5998 There's a lot of inves,ting option (real estate, stocks, cry,pto) but my best advice is get the services of a professional who will lead you into a successful and profitable one.
@@richadoemilia958 How does a professional helps in making profits? I'm interested in this too
CRUSHED IT AGAIN LISA ! You need to have your own show on HGTV… loved the history lesson on entry ways … my mom always called ours a vistibule ?. Love from sunny Florida ☀️☀️☀️❤️
I love that you don't edit out your errors! It shows you're human and can laugh at yourself. You never fail to bring a smile to my face. You know, a grand entryway is the first way a visitor gets to meet you and your style. Everything in our home means to much to us. My own style veers toward grays, marble, some black/white, a sedate and restful palette with small shots of color here and there. My hubby is all about warm wood, tans/browns (I call them various shades of dirt). He is far too opinionated when it comes to furnishings, I'm used to men saying, "Go ahead, get what you want". Not him! Having some decor ideas that appeal to both cool- and warm-toned lovers would help a great deal. It took us quite a while to find some great rugs that include both grays and tans that didn't break the bank! We liked it so much we have an 8x10 in the living room, a 5x7 in the entry and one in the reading nook and a pair of matching runners in front of the sliders, oh and one more outside the sliders to act as an entry mat. Your style tips are perfect and never fail to make me imagine something bigger, better and, sometimes, more colorful!!
Diane!!! Things can get pretty nutty while filming, sometimes I just get in such a giddy mood!!! 🤣🤣 Your hubby sounds so hilarious, I am so glad you guys found a good compromise with the rugs!! Funny enough, couples budding heads on design styles are actually pretty common - I will definitely talk about how to compromise this issue over on the Dezign Club!!! 👏🏼❤️ It is launching THIS August and it's going to be PACKED with tons of resources and even more design tips and tricks!!! 🤩 Make sure you are early to the party and sign up here www.lisaholt.com/thedezignclub to get ALLL the details about the launch!!! 💖 YAYY thank you so much for this sweet comment, I am so glad I could help solve your design dilemmas!! 💕🥰❤️
I have the mirror, the bench, the closet, the rug, good lighting and the 🪴 I think I'm good Lisa! Thank you!
I watch 99% of CZcams videos in x2 speed (idek why maybe it’s adhd maybe it’s a style statement) but I absolutely love the natural pace of your videos, the way you present things is just brilliant
You have NO idea how honored I feel Sophileh!!! 🥰🥰 I am so glad you can stand my goofiness in these videos, I can be pretty nutty at times!!! LOL!!! 🤪🤣 Thank you so much for this super sweet comment, you just made my entire day!! 😘☀️💞
I don't believe I have ever lived in a place that actually had an entryway. It's always "open the door and we're in the living room"! And no room to put a bookcase/screen between the door and the rest of the room.
LOL Ann!! 💕💕 I totally get that!!! 🌟💚 You definitely don't need any sort of grand entranceway to make some of these tips work - in fact, part of not fighting your architecture is not trying to cram too much if your space won't allow it!! 🤩🤩 Having a few racks for coats or a little bit of greenery as you enter your home can make a HUGE difference regardless of the space you're working with...you've totally got this!!! 🤩👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you SO much for tuning in and leaving your candid thoughts - I ALWAYS love hearing from you guys!! 😘😘
I was so excited to see this topic. I just got my new house completed, and am super proud of my entryway. Even though it's a tiny 6'X6', I have made it super glamorous. I have placed the best and most expensive chandelier of the house there, super beautiful wallpaper, and super glamorous laminate for the floating drawers (for the dog leash, masks, sanitizers etc.). And the hooks for the umbrellas are beautiful golden leaf-shaped ones. All in all, the most beautiful space in the house. Feel so validated! Yay! I got this one right! I don't even care that I'm bragging!! :D
OMG this sounds like a FUN entryway!! 💖🤩 I love what you did to it and how you're so proud about it!!! SO glad that you could check all the boxes about your newly renovated place and that you are LOVING the results!!! 👏🏼YAY thank you so much for sharing this and for supporting!!! 😘✨💗💗
"Make sure that rug screams your style" is my new style tip direct from LH!
Heck yes a brolly stand!!! 👏🇬🇧
LOL, your video editor kills me, they are hilarious! I love water closet-type bathrooms for the same reason - you can really go big style-wise in smaller spaces. Luxe materials become more affordable because you only need small amounts to make a big impact.
Melody!! SO true - I am soo glad you really enjoyed this video!! 😍🙌🏼 I will definitely pass along the compliments to my editor, I have the BEST team ever!!! 💁🏼♀️🌟 Thank you so so much for this sweet comment and for being part of this AMAZING community! 🥰 Truly doesn't go unnoticed!!! 🧡😋👏🏼
Enjoyable video! Thanks for talking about lighting:) I ordered a lamp today for my entry.
Judi!!! OF course!! 💗 That is so exciting, I bet it will look STUNNING in your entryway!!! 🤩🤩🤩
So very helpful. Some folks are complaining that the photos don't show athe verage/small spaces that most of us deal with, but the design principles still apply. I got a LOT out of this video!
I so agree...
You know what I love about you. You appreciate every singel style and show examples of everything even though not everything is everybodys taste, or even yours. Thats true love of interior design. Not just loving your own specific style but recognizing every style had its own beauty. Plus your personality is so natural, warm fun and cozy❤️ Just wanted to let you know☺️
Thank you, Lisa! So glad you share your tips each week. The existing mudroom needs life and your tips have given me excellent ideas that I can implement. I appreciate the depth you go into with each step as well. You seem to answer my questions automatically. Thank you for helping me over here in Point Clark, Ontario.
I love to see images of different homes as I use your channel for inspiration not to copy and paste. Some really good ideas I liked around colors and placement for flow. Keep inspiring with great content!
I’m so happy I’ve hit all the marks in this video . I really struggled with my terra cotta colored tile in my entry UNTIL I changed my mind set and embraced the architecture like you mentioned. I was able to bring warm neutrals in like I wanted and threw in a couple of cool colored entry doors for a pop of color. It all came together when I quit obsessing about the floor color and just accepted and followed the flow. Love your channel and so pleased that I found you! ❤️
Nettie!! SO glad you could relate to this video - I love that you just embraced the architecture and did what YOU wanted to add in!! 😇 Thank you so much for sharing this and supporting the channel - THIS is why I love making these videos!!! 🥰🙌🏼💛
Awesome!!! I love your style and you’re funny too! Thanks for being light-hearte, authentic and laughing at yourself😃I do it all the time myself. Life’s hard enough so your style segments inspire me and give me a chuckle. 👍👏🏼👏🏼
Yay! After (in fact, WHILE) watching your ideas I decided to do something about my entry and Was lucky to instantly find a beautiful wooden second-hand sideboard for a few quid! I fetched it and threw out my ugly large old leftover "nowhere else to put it" lowboard. When my kids came home from school they actually gasped at the transformation of the entry hall! It looks so beautiful - the difference the right piece of furniture in the right place can make is amazing! Also, the hall seems bigger. I love it! Thank you for being such an inspiration!
As always another brilliant and enjoyable experience 😊
William!! ALWAYS coming through with the kindest comments - thank you!!! 👏🏼💕Thank you so much for including me in your Saturday AM plans!!! 🤗🧡🧡
Enjoyed this one big time. Thank you Lisa Holt.
Of course D!!! Always here to help solve your entryway dilemmas!! 😆💚 Thank YOU for all the endless support!! 🥰💖
Thanks for the tips! Always love your videos.
Top video Lisa. I learnt a lot. I've got a decent sized entry to set up, and your tips are just what i need. Thanks!
Hi Lisa! The way my mind works, I have a much easier time remembering a story, than a list. This video really provides me with a great story arc, and I just know I will remember every important step. Thank you, I can't wait to watch more of your videos. I really appreciate your effort and teaching style.
Mimi!! This is so wonderful to hear - I am so glad that the flow of these videos really helps you understand the topics!!! 🙌🏼 I always listen to you guys and strive to improve my videos any way I can so this makes me so happy to hear this!!! 😝💗 Thank you so much for this nice comment and for supporting the channel!! 🤗💙😘😘😘😘
For my very narrow (122cm) corridor I desperately wanted to hide all the coats and shoes so I used a narrow PAX wardrobe with mirror doors. Two in one! But thanks to you, I know that in a little space I’ll add a TINIUS stool and it will look perfect! Incredible how much I learn from your videos! Thank you ❤️
YAYY I am so glad that I could help out with your entryway dilemma!! 👏🏼❤️ Thank you so much for watching and for all the constant loveeee!!! 😝😘💚
What a great video. A brilliant merge of style and function. And I loved the history lesson (from which our functional context comes).
Can clutter count as a gallery exhibition/art installation in entryways? XD
😜
🤣🤣
YES! YES! YES!!!!!
Absolutely! Lol.
Ours is the donation bin pre-drop off. Very eclectic.
This was a FANTASTIC breakdown of the elements of an entryway! You made it simple, in my brain, do- able and I’m really excited to just incorporate a few of the elements until I buy fancier stuff!! Thank you Lisa! I am a super big fan of yours I can’t wait to join the design club!
I decided to take a drink every time she said transitioned. Took me ten minutes to write this.
OMG hahah 😂😂😂 This is hilarious 👏🏼
It took me five years to come up with a look for my entryway. Lots of things have transpired over those years. I lost my mom, and had thoughts of scrapping the makeover to move away from near where she lived. I had huge sums embezzled from me. And I've taken on other distractions. But finally, the inspiration has come. An atrium vibe, with pops of black window frames & a black bird cage against white walls. And since the hall is narrow, only a wallpaper mural on the wall will do. It's going to be magnificent!
Thank you Lisa for giving the guidelines. Grand spaces with big budgets are fun. Everything is new or perfectly refurbished in beautiful colors. How do you create a lovely space with what you have? Or as you downsize. Regardless of budget or personal style. That’s what is most helpful and interesting. More examples of that would be great.
I love your videos! You pack a lot of information into them - basic info that you layer advanced, cohesive (learned the importance of that concept from you, thanks) details onto so that novices can get things right. Your years of experience and level of mastery really come through. Many thanks for your gifts to all of us. You bring joy and beauty into my life and I suspect into many others’.
K!! This is the absolute BEST kind of comment to get...I am so honored to be a part of all of your design lives!!! 💚🥰 There is nothing more fun for me than using all of my experience to help YOU guys improve YOUR homes - I try to make these videos as helpful as possible!! 💕👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you so much for just making my DAY with these kind words...you guys are the best!! 🥰💙
I enjoy watching and learning from you.
You amaze me every time I watch one of your videos. I learn so much! Thank you!
Thank you! I absolutely adore your channel. You have the most delightful presentation style, so upbeat and charming and always great positive ideas. Channels like this make CZcams great!
I love today’s entry way lecture. I learned a lot which I can apply to my mini foyer. Thanks so much Ms. L❤️🇨🇦
YAY I am so glad I could share all this yummy info to you guys on entryways!! 👏🏼 Thank you so much for tuning in Yolanda!!! 🥰❤️❤️
Lisa ... I loved this entry way advise its so important to help people be comfortable. I Love the mirrors that reflect light and flower arrangements ❤️It’s I think one of the most important areas to set the stage for the whole home! Don’t forget the mud room /garage because I needed a spot for keys 🔐 and shopping 🛍 bags, changing shoes etc. An entry for myself from pulling into the garage! Utility room for homeowners .. at least here in California 🧐🛍🏡👑
Victoria!! I am so happy you loved all the advice I touched on!!! 💖 It's definitely a must to have a GORGEOUS space to put all your things down after a LONG day out and about!!! 🛍 💁🏼♀️ Thank you so much for watching and for alll the support!! 🤗💕🌟
love your positive vibes! Thanks! :)
I just got back from a killer bike ride. I turned on CZcams to relax a while and found this video. Up and down my steps I went to find an anchor chair. Moved a few accessories around and my entry way is looking more welcoming.
After 2 hours grinding gears in the south Georgia heat and humidity, YOU got me moving once again! I call THAT true "inspiration"!
OMG Emily, SO funny that you were actually taking my tips LIVE!!! 🤣❤️ Hahah!!! I'm glad I could motivate you to help spruce up your entryway!! 🥰 Now get some rest from all that hard work and exercise!!! 🙌🏼😴💙
I really appreciate the historical references to the development of the entry way. A little foot note to add is that Frank Lloyd Wright utilized a cozy low ceiling entry way that would make the impact of going into the main open living space all the more dramatic. PS I must be doing something right because I've incorporated all 7 of your rules. Keep up the good work.
James!! You know I LOVE sharing history in these videos - isn't cool to see how much design has evolved?!?! 🤩🙌🏼 Must me a good sign to know that you have all these rules - great job!!! Thank you so much for watching!!! 😊💞💞
“Flotsem n jetsem” LOL. I love your videos for awesome design content and your real, true to life funny character! Keep’em coming!!
Karen, I appreciate that! xoxoxo
Thank you Lisa for another great and informative video! LOVE the history lesson, and the way you addressed all the elements of design. Classy and quirky as ever you hit the mark for me!
Carol, you know how much I LOVE my history lessons!!! 🤓 I am so glad that I can be informational to you guys while having loads of FUNNN with it!!! 🤗Thank you so much for watching AND for being part of this WONDERFUL fam!! 🤍🌟🤩
Thanks for the tips Lisa. I'm going to apply as many as I can to my small apartment condo entry. The laundry area is right off the entry too, so challenging but you have given me some ideas.
Excellent presentation with design principles to follow! No mountain of kicked off shoes allowed in foyers!! LOL
Whoever edits your videos is great, I love the little comments they put in the video like the "floatsam & jetsam?". Maybe relax on the soundeffects a bit but the overall style is so entertaining.
Terri!!! Thank you SO MUCH for the feedback, I will definitely forward your compliments to my AWESOME editor!! 😝💜 Thank you so much for watching!! 🤗
Love this video, so much helpful tips and ideas!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Zygler!! YAY I am so happy you enjoyed this video!!! 👏🏼💕 Entryways are the first impressions of your home to your guests, definitely important to keep in mind!! 🤗 Thank you SO MUCH for this nice comment - and thanks for including me in your Saturday AM!!!! 😘😘💜
Love LOVED this Lisa. All great tips and breaking it down simplifies it so well. I remember (LONG ago) when I thought I needed WAY too many things going on in my entry. As you would say "WHAT WAS I THINKING!" Coming across you and your vids have not only entertained the cr@p out me but made my decorating life easier! Can't wait for August!! Thank you Lisa!!
Ahahaha i loved the little Fifth Element reference you snuck in there! 😜😂 that’s one of if not my favorite film of all time! Lol
... this was very helpful as usual, i’m still working on my garage studio/bedroom/multi-use space/ idk-what-to-call-it lol, & I definitely need to get some rough weatherproof rugs for shoe wiping to cut down on how much dirt or dust comes into the space, & a runner or two. I’m actually quite pleased with the nearly 9 x 12 rug I got from Home Depot (went with the Abigail Britta midnight, i think its a really beautiful pattern check it out, only thing id note is the color in person is much brighter/lighter/more turquoise than in the online photos, but I dont mind & still find it overall restful & peaceful to look at which is what I wanted. i got the 8x11 & it was only like ~$150 all total inc. S&H I think i got a great deal!) & your older video on rugs was one of the most helpful to me for that process! Thanks again! 👍🙂
Oh! Can’t wait!
YAYYY suzi!!! It's going to be a fun one!! 😍💕😍💕
love these tips, our new home won't have much space in the entry way but I'll definitely do my best to follow your 7 rules!
Thanks so much for the very helpful entryway design tips and inspirational imagery! So wonderful!
Jamilia!!! SO glad you found this to be helpful!! 💖 I love showing visual examples because I feel like it makes what I'm talking about easier to understand!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 Thank you so much for this kind comment and for being part of this AMAZING fam!!! 😘💛💛
As always, thanks for the inspiration. It is good to know the rules, check my elements against them. I dream of Michael Taylor entryways. I'm working with a windowless, narrow Edwardian era entry (12" wider than the rest of the hallway). There is oak flooring; a green/butter trellis runner, pale "butter" walls; a large, rustic basket tucked under a dark wood demi lune; a tall, beveled mirror with scallops and pediment and a crystal table lamp to bounce light. It all looks best when there is a full (crystal) vase of flowers on the table.
I would love it if you would do a video on different ways to style your back yard with umbrellas. I am in need of some shade back there, but a more permanent structure is not yet in the budget.
Lucy!! Have you checked out my video about outdoor spaces?! I cover 9 EASY tips to upgrade your outdoor spaces for the summer!! 🦩☀️ Hopefully that will give you some insight on this topic!! 👏🏼💕
@@LisaHoltDesign Didn't catch it. Can you post a link? I am specifically interested in what looks best with one of those large umbrellas without making it seem like everything is crowded in underneath it to maximize use of its shade. Thank you! With all the other projects I have going, that's the best I can do to expand the space a little. Plus, once summer hit, lining up a really solid, reasonably priced contractor to do back yard work has been like pulling teeth, so I've focused on other things.
I would love an outdoor video for bad climates. It all looks lovely ... until it rains ... I also see a lot of videos with outdoor furniture that will have to be moved indoors or thoroughly covered over winter, and that really doesn’t help
@@katarinawikholm5873 Yes, I had to move my outdoor furniture off my back deck, and down into my basement for the winter. Knowing that task would be coming, I intentionally bought relatively light weight pieces, so the task was easy, and didn't take long. The outdoor umbrella I bought today could be more of a challenge to get down there, since it is so tall, so it may have to spend the winter under my covered back deck. Always good to measure before buying, but I needed the umbrella, and got a good deal on it.
Thank you, Lisa, for another wonderful video. You have inspired me to put some thought into revamping our entryway!
OMG I am so glad I could inspire you to revamp your entryway!!! ALWAYS here to help solve your design dilemmas!!! 🤍🌟🤩
Thank you for all the energy you have. It makes me want to do things differently. Getting my house ready to sell. I want to make it look a home. So the little things to invite the buyers. Love your ideas.
After Labor Day! It’s a great time to transition. Hopefully, in-person school will resume, and we’ll all have time to THINK.
We need a lampshade tutorial! (“We” meaning “I””☺️). Bought beautiful lamps at a PB outlet, (80% off!), but sourcing the right size shade has been a joke.
Have you read the online rules for determining lampshade size? OY VEY!🤦♀️ And...can a square or rectangular shade work on a round base? I taught English. Please teach me some geometry!😘
Hello everybody! How are other apartments in Europe?! Here , in Germany we are lucky to have a rental with a small entry way in 100m2 apartment where I tucked two armchairs and a small coffee table and we have an incorporated library (with place for shoes and coats )where I change the design pieces from time to time …Lisa, as always a very interesting video, I would also like to see more apartments design:)
Hi to you in Germany.I am originally from Hamburg but live in the USA right now.You said it all..My brother is still in Germany and goes through what you are saying..So true

UK here, my 'hall' is so small you can't swing a cat! I've never had a brolly stand, I just let them drip on the doormat. Oops. 😆
Lol. Me too
I have a cute brolly stand I got at John Lewis back when I lived in the UK. But these only work for full-size brollies and where I live now most people have pocket ones as it doesn't rain as much. So I let them drip into the bathtub instead.
Brolly is short for umbrella? I learn something today ,thanks😀
@@lsamoa 😊A pretty ceramic cache pot (meant for plants) to match your decor works well for those compact ones ☔. I have a shorter fat one & a taller cylinder one side x side. Sadly, it doesn't 🌧️ rain a lot in LA, but I have a big collection of parasols🌂for UV🌞protection.

(using my pal's YT acct)
@@teresacarle294 Good idea! Thanks for the tip :)
It’s like you read my mind! I’ve been wondering what to do with my empty entryway for the last couple of weeks
Wow, talk about perfect timing!!! 🤪😂 LOL hopefully this brought a lot of insight on what to do in your entryway!!! 🤗💙💙💙

Hi Lisa - I didn’t realize how much history defines the entryway. All lovely suggestions. I too have small space. Constantly rearranging to get the most out of it. My front door opens right to my kitchen table. A real challenge. Am I on all your list for the Dezign Club? ?Great show🌸🥳

Hi LIsa, great ideas! I was hoping to get more info on how to store tons of shoes that clutter the entryway. Thx.

Brilliant ! Love how you bring in the history
:) The rail-less stair gives me the heebies (full disclosure, my sister calls me "safety sister")
We've made a start, but our eentsy entry needs work--I think you'll like that we have a painting in our entry called "Are we compatible" ;)
Same thought! Maybe I've just lived with kids too many years, or maybe because I have a real tendency to trip on the stairs!
@@annbrookens945 the only ambulance ride I've ever taken was after a fall down stairs. I hate to think what my injuries would have been if there hadn't been a railing!
That would never pass building code here!
I had to replace the stair railings my townhouse because it was a safety concern. Blah
Our entrance is not large and kind of opens directly to the elevator. We have a floor to ceiling mirror, as ladies like to check with a last glimpse, a Rimadesio side board with marble top "misused" as a shoe storage, a Catellani & Smith lamp and a Lepli ottoman from Poltrona Frau to sit for the shoe change. Marble, silver and a pale green palette. A thing that is very important for me and the first thing people notice is the scent. It has to smell nice when entering your home.
Fantastic as always Lisa thank you so much
Such an informative (and funny!) video, thank you Lisa!
This is awesome advice! Any tips for folks with enclosed porches? Would you treat that as the entryway, or the entryway as the entryway ;D
OOh, so great an idea, I was thinking about porches this morning, yes, they're part of the experience, I'll add that to the list of videos!!!! xoxoxo
Yes I'd set up porch as entryway.
Thank you, Lisa! I’m a big fan of form and function; things must work as well as being beautiful! There are so many cool ideas here, and I loved the history lesson and the editing. Really fun! I’m still on the fence about the whole taking your shoes off custom. I find it very uncomfortable to walk around without some sort of footwear, and I want my guests to be comfortable. I mean, would you take off your heels if you were going to a dinner party? Or, if it was winter and you were wearing galoshes, would you bring your indoor shoes? I’ve just moved into a beautiful two bedroom apartment with a generous closet in the entry. Really looking forward to making it shine. So, I ask you, again...where to put those wet galoshes..? P.S. I vote for a September start to the Design Club. Fall always seems like a perfect time to go back to school. Really looking forward to it. 🥰
Hi. Ikea, for one, has a shoe tray for drippy/dirty shoes. I have mine tucked under my pie safe in the entryway. I'm from a culture [island] where people don't wear outdoor shoes in the house. Most people have a basket of various-sized house slippers for guests to wear in their home.
@@Lili-xq9sn I appreciate your response. Thanks a lot. 😊
Hi Lisa - this is my first video of yours that I've watched - and I gotta say, I'm hooked! Loved your inspo shots and your energy! ( and , yes, I've subscribed!)
YAYA thank you so much for subscribing!!! SO glad you joined this amazing community!!! 🎉 It definitely gets pretty nutty around here, but it's all fun!!! 🥰
Thanks. I can see where my style can be incorporated the entryway. And understanding the history helps me better see how our entryway can be updated to modern day life and use-case.
I have a wall with electrical and plumbing cupboards in my hallway, so I hid them behind a textile folk-scandi hanging by a local graphic designer (Gudrun Sjödén) and added a bright yellow stool and a big zz plant.
Kept everything else toned down or quietly matching the statement and left it at that.
(Ofc I was lucky - my hallway included a 10ft high mirrored closet and a port hole window architecturally - not much else was needed)
That sounds awesome..
Hehe I like seeing Gudrun Sjödén get referred to as a "local graphic designer", like she just has a small indie shop on Andralånggatan ;)
@@lsamoa Lol sorry. I phrased it as suited the wider, largely American audience, and my bias shone through.
I live in a studio apartment...how do I decorate when my living room and bedroom are in one room?
Lisa:I am your admirer. I like your way and content a lot. Thanks for sharing your fantastic knowledge with us. Please keep showing solutions and or samples with ideas so we have the principles and then the practical part. thank you
You’re just fabulous 💜🦋 I think starting after Labor Day would be best.
I would love an entryway. Our front door opens in to our 11 x 17 living room & you can see straight into our bathroom from the front door. Not sure how to change it & be happy with it. Any ideas?
Try using a folding room divider! There is beautiful ones available today! I recently got one on Amazon for $130 and it's gorgeous.
@@sydneyw8834 Thank you for the idea.
Hang a portiére (Victorian curtain over the bathroom doorway, or 60s style beads strings or bamboo covering the bathroom entrance. ) Or paint the bathroom walls an impressive color, or incredible botanical or whimsical wallpaper. What was the architect thinking!
@@Lili-xq9sn These are track houses they built in the 50's for people who built railroads so they were probably putting them up quickly & didn't care what room was placed where..
Lisa, most of these entryways are bigger then my house. We always need a place to store out mutton’s!😂
Love, love, LOVE the reference 5th Element! You are so clever (and have great taste in Scifi)!
Thank you Lisa that was very helpful to me!
