What’s the coziest decor style? Rustic, of course! This style is so welcoming itself that sometimes just several rustic details are enough to create a comfy ambience. Today we’ll have a look how to create such an ambience in your entryway as it’s the first inner space your visitors see, and that’s important to make them feel at ease and comfy.

Wall Decor

How to decorate your walls to make them look rustic? Wood is the answer! If it’s an entryway, why not clad them with reclaimed wood of your choice – completely or partially? Another idea is to go with similar tiles or even wallpapers to spend less time on that. You can also rock a rustic gallery wall, with vintage rustic frames, artworks and signs.
