Farmhouse-style foyer features a rustic wooden main door with a glass sidelight, a wrought-iron candlestick pendant fixture, and a machine-washable faux cowhide rug spread out over wide-plank, distressed hardwood flooring. The foyer serves as an entranceway and also a hub for getting to other levels of the house via a staircase made up of large slabs of bleached wood and black metal railings.

The flexibility of Farmhouse style works well in creating an inviting entranceway. In designing a space, the design allows for a lot of wiggle room, with fewer rules and more options to explore. Think of elements such as vintage shiplap, distressed wood, and exposed beams for starters, but whatever is chosen can be incorporated into a foyer in a number of ways. The beauty of Farmhouse is that it often has its own organic way of finding common ground between vintage and contemporary components. Take your shoes off and look through our curated gallery of Farmhouse-style foyers to provide some ideas for your own design project.
