Entryway Wall Art Gallery
The next idea in our entryway wall decor list is to turn the wall into an art gallery. Is it a great idea? The answer is going to be yes. Why? Well, if you want to make a good first impression, you might as well present the best decor in the entryway. And exhibiting your favorite paintings is a good way to do so.
Notice how the entryway gallery wall is painted in black. This allows the mostly white paintings to stand out even more. The contrast between the wall and the paintings create a focal point that no one can miss.
Decors Above, Drawer Below
Let’s say you want to make use of the entire wall, rather than one half of it. Well, a wall full of decorations does look good.
You just need to arrange the decorations properly and ensure that it doesn’t feel overwhelming. The above decor is an excellent example of this.
The wall sure does have a lot of decorations. And yet, they don’t feel cramped, let alone overwhelming. This is due to the proper arrangement. There is enough space in-between the decorations. The contrasting colors make the wall even more appealing.
Farmhouse Style Entryway Wall
Want something that feels warm and familiar? Consider entryway wall decor with farmhouse style. Such a decor gives off not just warmth, but also a sense of familiarity. Due to these perks, the rustic decor is great for the entryway.
Take a look at the wall. Look how white is used as the background color and there are lots of wooden surfaces on it. These are the main characteristics of the farmhouse style.
All of which complete each other to create a warm and familiar space. Want to make it warmer? Add a rag on the floor.
Entryway Wall Mirror
There are plenty of ways to make a country decor more appealing. One of them is to add a mirror on the wall. A mirror on the wall brings many benefits. For example, it makes a small room appear larger than it actually is. Of course, there is functionality to it as well.
To make the best out of a mirror entryway wall decor, choose one that is large enough to see your reflection in it but not too large to overwhelm the space. To complement the country look, pick a mirror with a black frame and circular shape.
Entry Wall Decor
There is no need to fully occupy the wall to make a statement in the entryway. Sometimes, entryway half wall decor can be great, too.
This one is an example of half wall decor. Notice how the upper half of the wall is decorated with just one piece of artwork, while the lower half is for drawers.
Using entryway half wall decor is also a great idea if you want to prevent the entryway from looking too crowded. This applies to entryways of any size but particularly to the smaller entryways.
Framed Sign
Do you like to hang your favorite phrases or sayings? If you do, a framed sign will be a fitting entryway wall decor for you.
Framed signs on the wall certainly make a statement in the room and the phrases or sayings inside it make it more personal.
The wooden frame and the black font make the sign a lot more noticeable, turning it into the focal point of the entryway. It will be difficult for the guests not to notice it.
Entry Wall Shelf
Should you focus on the decorative or the functional aspect? The answer is, why not both? Certain decorations, such as a shelf, allow you to not just decorate the entryway wall but also provides extra storage that is always needed.

To Do List
Are you a busy person? If you are, you’d like an entryway with functional decorations. Rather than artistic entryway wall art, go for organizers instead.
The organizers need not be complex or elaborate. For example, a black chalkboard and a daily to-do list will do. It adds functionality while making the entryway looks interesting.
Small Entryway Wall Decor
Next is not an ordinary wall decor. Rather than using the usual decorations, you turn the wall into an art ‘gallery.’ Hang any piece of your artworks on the wall.

- an art gallery?
If the answer is a yes, then consider creating modern entryway wall art. You don’t need a lot to create such a display gallery.
Paintings with modern art and simple unfinished wooden frames will be more than enough. Don’t forget to add a modern bench to complete the look.
Scrabble Tiles Wall
The last is a rustic scrabble. Unlike the previous ideas, this entryway wall decor is a bit on the more playful side. Instead of decorating the wall with artistic artworks, photography, or functional decorations, it is a rustic scrabble. The regular scrabble may not look as attractive. A rustic one will surely grab attention.
What will the words that appear on the scrabble? Of course, that is for you to decide but here’s a good idea: the names of your family members. Write out your name, your spouse and your children. It is a playful yet personal way to greet your guests.
