A well-designed foyer not only gives guests a first impression of the home’s unique style, but also serves as a welcoming and comfortable space for visitors and homeowners alike as they come and go from the home. Knowing Taylor Johnson client Morgante Wilson Architects has plenty of experience designing inviting — and functional — entryways, we pitched K. Tyler, interior design principal with the firm, as a source for a Chicago magazine “how to” feature on decorating a foyer. Read the full feature for K.’s advice on everything from keeping the space clutter free to adding a personal touch through interesting accessories.

This foyer designed by Morgante Wilson Architects features a smoke glass chandelier and custom table.
