Elle Decor has a story this month on grand entrances. Granted, not everyone has a huge gallery as their foyer, but the ones in this slide show are meant as inspiration.

My favorite, designed by Brian J. McCarthy for a Manhattan apartment, is shown above. I adore the bold herringbone floor pattern, the subtly reflective gold leaf ceiling, and the warm neutral walls paired with the ebonized floor border and doors and the Chinoiserie furniture.
We may not have always have such a grand space to work with, but we can adapt our favorite elements from interiors like these to work within our means.
