Space Solutions for Your Festive Entryway

Here are some simple ways to style your space beautifully, no matter its size.

Small Entryways

In smaller homes or apartments where the front door opens directly into a living area, focus on vertical styling and simple, thoughtful layers.

  • Hang a small wreath on the front door and place a miniature Christmas tree or festive branch arrangement beside it to create a welcoming focal point.

  • If you have an entry pendant or chandelier, add ribbon bows, sprigs of foliage, or a paper ornament.

  • Where space allows, include a narrow console or small stool as a landing spot. Style it with a festive candle, garland, decorative figurine, or welcome mat to bring instant warmth.

Medium Entryways

If you have a little more space, use a console or hall table to anchor the area and create a festive vignette.

  • Drape a garland across the console or mirror.

  • Layer candleholders, ornaments, and bowls of baubles for depth and sparkle.

  • Add a diffuser or Trudon candle to welcome guests with festive fragrance.

  • Finish with a small tree or welocome mat.


Large or Expansive Entryways

Generous spaces can handle bolder, more dramatic styling, making them the perfect canvas for a grand festive welcome.

  • Anchor the space with a centre table or large console as your main feature.

  • Add natural beauty with a tall vase filled with pine, magnolia, or eucalyptus branches, bringing in texture and movement.

  • For balance and height, include tall candleholders, lanterns, or glass hurricanes to create a soft, glowing atmosphere.

  • Alternatively, create a statement display around a full-sized tree in the centre of the room, surrounded by ornaments, ribbons, and fairy lights for a magical first impression.

Enclosed Entryways or Narrow Hallways

Even a small or self-contained entryway can feel festive and connected to the rest of your home. Because this space is transitional, it’s a wonderful place to experiment with bold accents such as artwork, colour, or wall treatments.

  • Hang a garland along the doorframe, banister, or mirror to draw the eye upward and add natural texture.

  • Enhance a gallery wall with subtle festive touches like ribbons, a wreath, or small ornaments tucked among the frames.

  • If your hallway opens onto a staircase, trail a garland up the banister and weave in ribbons, fairy lights, or small decorations for continuity.

  • Ensure there’s plenty of room to move, keeping the layout functional and free-flowing while still feeling festive and welcoming.
