Foyer, More Than Just Another Pretty Space!

By Therelishedroost
As I get ready to move into a new home I am struck by the fact that I really never had much of a "foyer" in my present home. Don"t get me wrong I am not complaining as it served its purpose of welcoming guests in but was never really a space used for more than that. The new home has a large foyer with loads of light and french doors leading to the outdoor terrace. I think it may be my favorite room in the house because I love light.  I need to come up with a way to make this space more than just a place of entry and rather a place that can be lived in.  How do you use your foyer?
Here are a few of my favorite foyers that feel lived in.
