Entryway Upgrade Essentials

The entryway is the most impactful space to upgrade in your home. A small investment in the right pieces transforms the first impression your home makes — and by extension, how the entire home feels to guests and to you. Here are our top entryway upgrade essentials at Studio Living.

The Entryway Mirror

A mirror is the single most essential entryway upgrade. It creates a focal point, makes the space feel larger, and serves the practical function of a last look before leaving. The BEAUTYPEAK 40" Round Mirror in Gold is our top entryway mirror — its warm gold frame creates an immediate sense of warmth and welcome that sets the tone for the entire home. For a more dramatic statement, the BEAUTYPEAK 48" Round Mirror in Black offers a bold circular form that commands attention in any entryway.

The Entryway Light

Warm light transforms an entryway from functional to welcoming. The Upgraded Torchiere Floor Lamp 36W is our top entryway light — its slim profile fits in any entryway corner, and its warm upward light fills the space with a soft, welcoming glow that makes guests feel immediately at ease. Its dimmable control lets you set exactly the right level of warmth for any time of day.

The Entryway Plant

A tall plant near the entryway signals that the home is alive, cared for, and welcoming. The Artificial Dracaena Tree 6FT with Gray Planter is our top entryway plant — its 6-foot height creates a dramatic organic presence that makes any entryway feel more alive and welcoming without any maintenance demands. For a smaller entryway, the 6.56ft Dracaena Draco Artificial Tree offers a slightly more sculptural form in the same impressive height.

The Entryway Surface Object

A beautiful object on the entryway surface signals that the home has been curated with care. The Alice Lane Bubble Candle Dish in Smoky Glass is our top entryway surface object — its sculptural bubble surface and warm smoky glass color add a beautiful, considered detail that makes guests feel the home has been thoughtfully prepared. Place it on a console table or shelf with a scented candle for the complete entryway surface experience.

The Entryway Bookshelf

A small bookshelf near the entryway adds a personal layer — books, objects, and meaningful items that reveal who lives here and make guests feel they're entering a real, inhabited home. The Furinno 3-Tier Tree Bookshelf in White is our top entryway bookshelf — its small footprint fits in any entryway, and its organic tree form adds a distinctive personal touch that makes the entryway feel genuinely designed.

Upgrade the Entry, Upgrade the Home

The entryway upgrade has the highest return on investment of any room in the home. A mirror, a warm lamp, a tall plant, a beautiful surface object, and a personal bookshelf — these five pieces transform the first impression your home makes and set the tone for everything that follows.
