The Entrance Hall (also called the Grand Foyer) is the primary and formal entrance to the White House, the official residence of the President of the United States. The room is rectilinear in shape and measures approximately 31 by 44 feet. Located on the State Floor, the room is entered from outdoors through the North Portico, which faces the North Lawn and Pennsylvania Avenue. The south side of the room opens to the Cross Hall through a screen of paired Roman Doric columns. The east wall opens to the Grand Staircase.
Architect James Hoban's original floor plans show a similar room, but with single columns separating the Entrance Hall and Cross Hall, and with the Grand Stair entering into the Cross Hall. Mid-19th century photographs show the room as rebuilt by Hoban following the 1814 White House fire. In these photographs two Ionic columns support a series of shallow arches, and a frieze of bas-relief anthemion encircling the room. The shafts of Hoban's columns are recorded as being a blue marble.

Custom Luxury Foyer Interior Designs (Grand Entrance) In my view at the very least you want sufficient space for shoes, coats and perhaps some form of storage for guests’ bags, etc. (see mudroom lockers and foyer storage options here) A very popular home design element with foyers is to use the space for a staircase, which is smart because stairs take up quite a bit of space, they’re necessary and therefore the foyer becomes more functional. I prefer foyer designs that are more open so that you can see other parts of the home. Of course two-story foyers are nice with view of an upper landing – but these are typically found in luxury homes. Consequently you’ll many of these designs in this gallery since we mostly feature luxury homes… because luxury homes provide great inspiration for yo...
Custom Luxury Foyer Interior Designs (Grand Entrance) Want to offer a grand entrance to your home? Check out these 54 luxury foyer interior designs that are nothing short of stunning. Welcome to our extensive gallery of luxury home foyers. This is our second gallery on foyers… given our first gallery (see our first foyer gallery here) was such a big hit, we decided to do a second gallery. It’s not easy deciding how much space to designate for a foyer. On the hand, the space isn’t very function like a kitchen or living room. On the other hand, the front entrance of your home is the first impression your home offers to visitors. Of course if you have a $10 million dollar design or custom build budget, you can pretty much create a cathedral… but most people don’t have $10 million for a hom...
