FARMHOUSE MUDROOM FOYER DESIGN

Transporting back to the traditional rural days in the 50s, mudrooms were more than a necessity than a fancy addition to the farmhouse home interior design. Identifying as one of the iconic hallmarks of an American farmhouse interior design, the gorgeous mudroom entryway offers a whopping three-in-one function – a extensive line of shoe cabinet, open shelving units for small items like socks and other accessories and a seating bench where you can sit and take off your shoes.  Traditionally, this ‘secondary entrance’ was intended to provide large storage and ensure the main areas of the home stay clean and tidy! Now, mudrooms are back in demand with the rising popularity of modern farmhouse homes that embraces clean organized elements of minimalist interior design and contemporary interior design. Other than its highly functional character, mudrooms evokes a warm, inviting and comfortable vibe in entryways that allures guests into the home.

FEATURE WALL FOYER DESIGN

Why not create a bold visual statement right at the entrance of your home? As demonstrated by the foyer design in The Eden @ Tampines, one way to make an impact is to paint a striking accent wall in the color of your choice that best complements your foyer accessories, furniture pieces or home décor styling.
