Entryway. Ridder placed a Khotan rug from Turkestan on the floor of her own entry. The handrail on the staircase was covered in red and silver leaf for a colorful accent. Because the entryway is the first thing guests see, Ridder believes that this part of your home should have an impact. She consistently uses bold styles and textures in the entryways she designs, blending big light fixtures, mirrors and wall art, wallpaper, color, and unique floor treatments. She also keeps practicality in mind, and often has grasscloth installed in entryways where strollers and bikes are bound to bump into the walls. MacIsaac writes: "Entryways don't usually require much furniture, but they do need to be well furnished. In decorating a transient space, form is more important than comfort."
