The shabby chic entrance is a romantic welcome to your guests, a business card for those who come to visit you for the first time. There is a saying: "You will never have a second chance to make a good first impression." In short, the first impact is what really matters.
Do you know that it only takes 7 seconds for your brain to decide if it likes something? And this also applies to homes. A quick glance is all it takes to feel comfortable (or, on the contrary, uncomfortable) in a room.
This is why it is important to furnish the entrance in a pleasant way: it is the first thing that guests see of our house. Instead the entrances are often small, a bit sacrificed and with little light, and for this reason too they are neglected in the home furnishings!
If you want to give new life to your entrance, you must first decide in which style to decorate it: it is very important that the furniture in the lobby is consistent with the rest of the house. Do you love the shabby style and the Provencal delicacy? Then this is the line you will have to follow! Let's see together how to furnish a shabby chic entrance so that it is elegant and functional at the same time.
First of all, let's try to understand what are the characteristics of a state-of-the-art, romantic and surprising shabby chic entrance. The term "shabby chic" indicates a style with a lived-in look but which retains its refinement. Furniture with a classic line, a little French, but artfully pickled: these are your perfect allies.
The most classic shabby chic color is white, better if combined with beige, pastel tones, taupe, caffellatte and the natural grain of the wood. If the entrance is very small, the white walls and the addition of a mirror will always be a good idea.
If instead you have a larger surface available, amaze everyone with a beautiful striped wall! Whether you decide to buy a wallpaper or to paint the wall, it doesn't matter: beautiful wide vertical stripes, in pearl gray, lavender or light brown, will give the room a wonderfully refined look.
And now that we have thought about the walls, let's move on to the funniest part of furnishing a shabby chic entrance: choose furniture and decorations!
The entrance has a strategic importance: it is an environment of passage, where often we happen to support our things just returned. Each element must have its location. There will be the place where you always put the keys, the one where you take off your shoes and put on the slippers, the one where you put your bag...it takes very little to mess up the entrance, if it is not well organized! So make sure to always arrange the furniture with an eye to aesthetics and one to practicality.
What do you need to furnish a shabby chic entrance?
Let's see if this situation is familiar to you. You are on the sofa, finally taking a relaxing break, when you receive a phone call: it is that friend of yours whom you haven't seen for a long time and who would like to spend a moment visiting you, because she is in the vicinity of your home. You look around and ... let's say that the house is not exactly tidy. Help, just today!
If things like this happen to you too, maybe you need shabby chic entrance furniture to hide everything out of place in a flash. Yes, we know this is like cheating, but you can always tidy up after your friend is gone! This is why the pocket emptiers and racks must never be missing in a shabby chic entrance: they embellish the environment, act as a support surface (which you can decorate with candles and knickknacks) and are much more capacious than they show external.
In the shabby chic entrance furniture, it is better to focus on cabinets in white, ivory or beige, or in dark wood. One thing is certain: whatever their color, their practicality will conquer you.
There is not always room for a real wardrobe in the entrance of the house. On the contrary: in most houses, this room has a very modest size. However, you may need a cabinet to store your shoes as soon as you enter the house, and then put on your slippers.
A shabby entrance bench with baskets and drawers is the perfect solution! In one fell swoop you will have a padded seat to lean on to remove your shoes and comfortable storage compartments to always keep your slippers close at hand. In this way you will no longer have to turn barefoot around the house, nor needlessly soil the floor.
In pickled white it will stand out beautifully on a colored wall, while in natural wood it will give the room a warm and comfortable look. Let yourself be inspired by the shabby entrance benches of our online store, you will find a selection of small Provencal style chests perfect for decorating the entrance!
Here it is, the queen of every self-respecting shabby chic entrance: the console! A quick tour on Pinterest will confirm it: a shabby entrance console immediately makes any room more beautiful. Not sure how to choose the perfect console for you? In our online store you will find a selection of coffee tables and small consoles that will make a great impression even in the entrance of the house!
This type of furniture requires absolute symmetry: place it on the wall in front of the entrance and hang a clock or a nice mirror right above the console.
Decorate the shelf of a shabby console with a few but well chosen ornaments: candles, decorative plates, ornaments...you can also place some objects at the foot of the console, such as a couple of lanterns or a small stool. Complete with a carpet in natural colors and...we bet it has already become your favorite corner of the house?
Finally, what can't really miss in a self-respecting shabby chic entrance? But a nice umbrella stand, of course! Better still if in delicate pastel shades and decorated with writing and with a motif with a retro charm.
Umbrella stands are accessories that are often underestimated from a decorative point of view, but they can give your shabby chic entrance an extra touch of sophistication. It is certainly not pleasant to go home after a rainy day and create a giant puddle on the floor, just as it is not the best to leave an umbrella around the whole house and not have it immediately at hand before going out.
In our store you will find a series of elegant and functional umbrella stands, small homedecor elements to furnish a shabby entrance without losing sight of the style of your atrium and to be combined with empty pockets, consoles and indoor benches.
Now only one thing is missing to furnish an entrance in a shabby chic style and make it truly unique: some accessories made with your own hands! Let's see some DIY ideas together.
The shabby style lives on do-it-yourself! Of course, buying a brand new piece of furniture is always nice, but integrating the furniture with something handcrafted and made by you will make the house infinitely more precious and more "yours".
If you are a creative person and have good manual skills, here are three DIY ideas for decorating your shabby chic entrance!

In the furnishing of the shabby ingressy we always start from recycled materials. For example: how about creating a nice coat rack with pallets? All you need is a pallet, chalk-type paint (which gives the surfaces a nice pickled appearance and can be spread without first sanding) and some vintage handles, which you can find in the markets and antique shops. Remember to create a shelf with nails and hammer: it will allow you to decorate your hanger with flowers and ornaments.

The entrances are often not completely separated from the living area. On the other hand, we live in the era of open spaces. So why not partially divide the rooms using a small shelf? You can make one by attaching some painted wooden boxes together (with glue or nails)!
Exploit all the decorative potential of wooden boxes to create truly original cabinets. A little tip? Do not arrange all the boxes in the same direction, but alternate: in this way you will be able to fill the shelf on both sides, decorating both rooms in one go. If you want to give movement to the composition, place the staircases, taking care to place some vertically and others horizontally. With such an original piece of furniture, your shabby chic style entrance will be even more beautiful.

That's right: you can furnish your shabby chic entrance using a recovery door. First of all you will have to decide whether to paint it in a nice themed color (white, taupe, pastel tones...) or leave it in natural wood. In this case, however, you will have to sand it and polish it to bring it back to its former glory. And now that you've fixed the surface...indulge yourself!
You can transform the door into a real equipped wall: add handles to hang coats, shelves to decorate with plants and knickknacks, smaller hooks on which to store the keys...even a mirror! The only limit is your fantasy. Glue, nails and hammer will help you secure every element to the door surface.
Now that you know how to furnish a shabby chic style entrance, don't waste any more time: we bet you can't wait to get down to business!
