Entryway Refresh!

July 19, 2023/ Gen Sohr

Post sponsored by Ballard Designs

Hi friends! Now that our checkerboard painted floors in the entryway are done, it’s the perfect time for a furniture and decor refresh in this space! We love turning to Ballard Designs for well-designed, classic pieces that won’t break the bank, like this Suzanne Kasler-designed Southport Rattan Chest that adds convenient storage while looking so great.

This Dayna Bench is another exciting addition to the foyer…it’s ideal for putting on shoes or dropping your bags on the way in or out of the door. It would also be perfect at the foot of a bed or anywhere else you need a bit of stylish seating!

We love the versatility of white ceramic staples like this Classic Garden Stool (add a pretty plant or a stack of your favorite coffee table books) and this Suzanne Kasler Triple Gourd Lamp (try it with the Isla Block Print Pleated Lamp Shade to switch things up!).

Ballard has a great selection of natural fiber woven rugs, like the Anis runner we just added by the door. Our other Ballard go-tos include their Dayna collection faux bamboo chairs and stools, all of the Suzanne Kasler rattan pieces, and their outdoor furniture and replacement cushions. We also adore their upholstered furniture options like the Roswell Sectional…you can pick from so many pretty fabrics to easily customize your design to coordinate with any space!

You can browse lots of our Ballard favorites below and check out even more over at ballarddesigns.com!
