Vintage drawer pulls add architectural interest, and cabinets provide storage and keep clutter at bay. A twenties-era mirrored vanity will be the center of attention in any foyer.
    • Chair or Bench: A chair or bench makes a foyer appear welcoming, and provides a place for guests to place coats or purses. Look for unique seating options such as salvaged church pews or an interesting trunk or ottoman.
