Who loves a California Casual style home as much as I do? I recently designed this beautiful California Casual style foyer that is ideal for any home that has a large foyer space with an open staircase. Sometimes, it can be challenging to figure out what you could do with this extra space, typically viewed as non-functional.
I think that one of the most overlooked space in a home is an exposed staircase. It’s so easy to do built-in shelves under the stairs to create additional charming storage space. You can add wallpaper for the back wall of the built-ins like I did with this design to make the items on the shelves stand out more. Secondly, I’m currently obsessed with utilizing tile on stair risers. Stairways can be a major feature of the home, but the stairs themselves can be the star of the show instead of the railings or banister.
With the extra space around the staircase - you could do a few different things with it. For example, I added two lounge chairs and an accent table which would be a perfect place to sit down and put your shoes on or off or have a little impromptu quick conversation with someone stopping by for a chat.
If your foyer is large as this, I highly recommend you to get a unique chandelier to take advantage of that large open air. I selected this unique wrought iron chandelier with rotatable arms that allows you to rotate it as you like for your home.
Most foyers have a long wall space which is often used for either a bench or sideboard. I used that wall as an accent with textured wallpaper in a darker tone so the light natural woods of this sideboard really are accentuated. You can decorate it with a large round mirror above it with a table lamp and accessories just like I did with this sideboard.
