How to Dress Up the Back of a Loveseat Facing an Entry

The way that you arrange the furniture in your entryway impacts the mood and feel of your home. A crowded entry, for instance, can make your guests feel overwhelmed, while an entryway with not enough furniture can give the area a barren tone. If your home is designed in such a way that the back of your loveseat faces the entry, dress it up. The back of a loveseat is not the most aesthetically pleasing sight, so use more decorative items to spruce it up. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

1

Lean a picture frame that's roughly 36 inches by 48 inches against the back of a loveseat in the entryway to your home. Put a picture or painting in the frame. This will become the focal point so that guests see the art rather than the back of the loveseat. The design concept of picture frames on floors gives homes a loft-like feel.

2

Set a console table along the back of the loveseat in the entry. A console table is a small table that is used for decor and storing small items, and it's a common entryway piece. Dress up the furniture even more by adding plants, standing picture frames, candles or vases atop the console table.

3

Hang a throw blanket over the back of the loveseat. The throw blanket will disguise some of the back, and give guests something other than the plain loveseat back to look at. A quilt is also effective for this decoration technique.

4

Line the back of a loveseat with large potted plants. A large potted plant adds color and texture that distracts the eye from the loveseat's back.

5

Place a room divider, such as a tall panel of shutters or a tall bookshelf, against the back of a loveseat in an entryway. The room divider cuts off the area to make two separate spaces, giving the entry a narrower and cozier feel.

6

Arrange oversized baskets along the back of the loveseat. Fill the baskets with decorative items such as rolled up blankets or quilts, throw pillows, and books.
