8 Cool Ideas for Decorating a Tiny Entryway

What to do if there's little space, it's dark and narrow in the entryway? Based on designer projects, we show how you can easily transform even the tightest space.

Mirror Door

A mirror in the entryway can be more than just a wall fixture. If you have very little space, place it directly on the door, as in Cubiq Studio’s project. White walls help enhance the effect, as everyone knows — light shades expand the space.
