Interior designer Huong Vu offers an elevated approach to displaying photos in the entrance of your home. “Elevate your foyer with a personal touch by displaying travel photos along the hallway just above reach,” she suggests. This idea of creating a personal and unique display of black and white travel photos in the entryway gallery wall is a great illustration of that.

Vu also advises to consider the details of your photo display for maximum impact. “Coordinate frame colors with the door and maintain alignment with the wall paneling for added illusion of height,” she adds. By doing so, your gallery wall will not only showcase your memorable snapshots but also enhance the overall aesthetic of your entryway.

11 Things You Need To Know Before Painting Doors Black

Sophisticated, stunning, and striking are all words that come to mind when I think of black doors. This dramatic hue fits perfectly with a classic or traditional style, elevates modern and contemporary dwellings, and adds a unique update to farmhouse design. Black doors are often associated with strength, power, and opportunity, which makes them a popular choice on so many levels (certapro.com/blog/residential/front-door-color-meanings/#::text=When used to paint front,connected to stillness and wealth).

I’m a proponent of making a statement from the front door that lets visitors know what to expect when they enter your home. Continuing black doors throughout your home is a phenomenal strategy to create continuity and flow throughout your home. But it doesn’t have to stop there! Black trim, accent pieces, and furniture can help achieve a similar look depending on your style and taste. Don’t believe me? Then, check out this sensational gallery of homes with black doors below and get ready to be impressed.

Do I Need a Formal Dining Room, or Is It a Waste of Space?

When my husband and I were purchasing our first home, my mother-in-law asked me whether or not I would miss having a formal dining room. Considering it was just the two of us then, the answer was a resounding “No!” After all, I was not about to host grand dinner parties or family gatherings, and we had plenty of family to visit for holidays and celebrations. And unfortunately, our budget did not stretch to a large enough home to include a separate dining room.

Fast-forward six years, and my answer may have changed. Now, with two kids, we’re much more likely to host family gatherings, and having a large, separate area would be a dream. Many of our readers and contributors agree with me, while others find that a larger kitchen serves the same function with more connectivity (jjonesdesignco.com/blogs/the-great-debate-open-concept-vs-traditional-floor-plans). If you’re unsure where your opinion lies, read on for the best advice and insights our readers can offer. You may find you end up changing your mind after seeing what they have to say!
