Pinterest Entry Glow-Up
I wanted an entryway that felt like me, not a catchall dump zone with unmatched shoes and keys. So I headed to Pinterest, gathered the top trends, and gave my hallway a full-blown mini makeover.
These ideas completely transformed my space. Swipe through and steal what works; your dream entryway might be one pin away.
Mirror Moment
First thing I added? A big, rounded-edge mirror above my console table. Not only does it bounce light and make the space feel bigger, but it’s also ideal for last-minute outfit checks.
Pinterest is obsessed with this curved style, and now, so am I. Tip: Choose one with a gold or black frame to nail that minimalist-luxe vibe.
Statement Lighting
Overhead lighting was fine, until I replaced it with a rattan pendant and everything changed. Pinterest made me do it, and I have zero regrets.
It adds texture and warmth and makes the whole entryway feel intentional. If you’re renting, try a plug-in swag pendant for the same effect; no rewiring is needed.
Art Ledge Switch-Up
Instead of a gallery wall, I leaned into the Pinterest-favorite art ledge trend. One floating shelf, layered with prints, postcards, and a small sculpture, brought instant personality to my wall.
It’s easy to swap pieces as the seasons change, too. Pro tip: Mix frame sizes and styles to keep it casual and curated, not overly staged.
Earthy Rug Swap
Pinterest showed me how much impact a runner rug can have, and I immediately ditched the basic mat. I went for an earthy-toned kilim-style runner that added warmth and a vintage feel right away.
It now anchors the space, softens foot traffic, and hides dirt surprisingly well. Pairing it with neutral walls and natural wood keeps everything feeling grounded and pulled together.
Layered Greenery
I kept seeing layered entryway plants all over Pinterest, so I brought the look to life with zero regrets. A tall olive tree in the corner and a small pothos trailing off the console added that airy, organic touch.
It instantly made the space feel alive without cluttering it up. If your entry lacks light, faux options totally work, just choose ones with realistic leaves.
Scent Setup
A pretty entry is great, but Pinterest reminded me that scent matters too, especially when guests arrive. I added a ceramic oil diffuser with citrus-lavender oil and a dish of dried eucalyptus near the door.
Now my entry smells like a boutique hotel the second I walk in. It’s such a tiny touch, but it genuinely elevates the vibe without adding visual clutter.
Catchall Bowl Styling
I always had a bowl for keys, but Pinterest inspired me to actually style it, and that made all the difference. I chose a shallow handmade ceramic bowl and placed it on a stack of coffee table books on the console.
Now it feels intentional, not just functional, and adds texture and color. A tiny brass turtle paperweight on the stack sealed the Pinterest-perfect look.
Mixed Hooks Wall
One trend I kept seeing? Mixing multiple hook styles instead of just lining up five identical ones. I used black metal hooks, wooden pegs, and one vintage brass hook, and the wall instantly felt styled, not just utilitarian.
It turned my coat wall into a design moment while still being super functional. Layered with a hanging hat and a small art print, it’s now a favorite corner.
Accent Wall Pop
Scrolling through boho entryway boards, I spotted one detail over and over, a single painted accent wall. So I grabbed a warm terracotta tone and painted just the entry nook, leaving the rest of the walls neutral.
It made the whole space feel cozy, framed, and super inviting. A small change, but honestly, it gave the entryway a whole new vibe.
Pinterest-Perfect Tray
One surprising tip I picked up? Trays aren’t just for serving, they’re entryway lifesavers.
I used a cane-wrapped tray to group my candle, catchall, and diffuser, making everything feel more intentional.
It created a little zone instead of scattered items across the surface. The look is organized, enhanced, and still totally Pinterest-worthy every single day.
Natural Wood Touches
Pinterest entries are all about that warm, natural wood accent, so I added a slim wall shelf in raw oak. It brought texture without heaviness and helped break up all the white paint with something more grounded.
I placed a mini vase with dried blooms and a vintage candle on it. It’s subtle, but it makes the space feel curated and layered with care.
Arched Details
Arched accents are having their moment on Pinterest, and I brought that trend home with a peel-and-stick wall decal. I placed it behind my console to create the illusion of built-in architecture without picking up a hammer.
The soft arch draws the eye and adds a chic, modern twist. It’s renter-friendly, budget-safe, and totally on-trend without being over the top. You can also try it with a plant garland over your mirror.
Unexpected Color Pop
Every Pinterest entry seems to have one unexpected pop, so I added a punchy, cobalt blue vase to my neutral setup. It brought a fun, modern feel that instantly refreshed the whole palette.
Don’t be afraid to experiment with something bold, even if it’s just one piece. That tiny dose of color creates contrast and personality in seconds.
Console with Character
Instead of a basic table, Pinterest nudged me toward a vintage-look console with slim legs and an open shelf. The shape gave the space breathing room while the distressed finish added personality right away.
I styled it with a small lamp, a framed quote, and stacked trays for storage. Now, the entire setup feels curated rather than just placed there for convenience. Looking for more chic pieces like this? Check out these chic console tables for narrow hallways that bring both style and function.
Bench and Baskets
Hooks are helpful, but Pinterest says benches are better, especially when styled with throw pillows and woven baskets. I found a slim wooden bench, added two patterned cushions, and slid baskets underneath for hidden shoe storage.
It instantly looked polished and practical. Bonus: guests always have a place to sit while removing their shoes (and complement the setup). Ready to up your entrance game even further? Here’s how to make a killer entrance with easy, stylish touches.
