Small condo entryway ideas are always a challenge, but they’re also one of my favourite design puzzles to solve. This particular condo’s foyer was once a narrow, nothing-to-see-here kind of space, but a mirror-and-bench moment instantly breathed new life into it. Now, it feels inviting, intentional, and (bonus!) functional.

Just off the entry, we carved out a small den, proof that compact square footage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing personality. We wrapped the space in the dreamiest deep red, somewhere between wine and cranberry, creating a cocoon-like feel. A petite desk and cozy reading chair make it perfect for work or unwinding, while her sons have claimed it for laptop setups and games.

I’m sharing the before photos (because who doesn’t love a transformation?) plus two “Get the Look” boards, one for the entryway and one for the den. My client is wonderfully generous in sharing all the sources, so if you have any questions, please reach out.
