To decorate a two-story foyer, first think about the lighting. Install wall sconces for a warm glow. Add a runner rug to add texture and color. And maybe a feature wall with wallpaper or art can make it stand out.
You could start by adding a large statement chandelier to create a focal point. Also, consider using a runner on the staircase for a touch of elegance.
First, prepare the surface by cleaning and sanding. Then, choose the right paint color and quality. Apply primer and then start painting with a brush or roller, working from top to bottom.
It depends on the size of the foyer. A chandelier with a diameter of around 3 to 4 feet could work well for a standard two-story foyer.
It depends on the height of your foyer and the size of the chandelier. Generally, aim for the bottom of the chandelier to be around 6 to 7 feet from the floor. This gives enough clearance and provides good lighting.
You can start by putting up a big Christmas tree in the living room. Hang colorful lights on the outside of the house and along the staircase. Place wreaths on the front door and windows.
You could start by choosing a color scheme that ties the two floors together. Maybe some neutral tones for a calming effect.
For the bottom part of the two - part, two - story Christmas tree, start with a large garland wrapped around the branches. Then add big, colorful baubles. For the top part, use smaller, more delicate ornaments like glass icicles. Finish with a star or an angel on the very top.
For decorating a modern two - story new construction, focus on simplicity. Use natural materials like jute rugs and wooden furniture. In the bedrooms, choose simple bed frames and add some colorful throw pillows. For the exterior, plant some low - maintenance shrubs and add some modern outdoor lighting fixtures. Also, in the kitchen, use sleek, handle - less cabinets.
For a two - story cottage, you can start with warm - colored curtains on the ground floor for a cozy feel. Upstairs in the bedrooms, use soft bedding. Put some flower pots outside on both floors.
You can start by outlining the roof and windows with strings of lights. Maybe add some lights along the railing of the balcony if there is one.
