Traditional Entryways

13 photos

First impressions are the business of a traditional entryway, which uses pattern and furniture where a modern hall would leave bare wall. Two looks stand out: botanical or toile wallpaper, and white panelled walls with a wooden staircase. The furniture earns its place: an apothecary chest, a carved hall tree with an inset mirror, a demilune table with curved legs.
