PAINTED CHESTS IN THE FOYER WITH A GUEST POST !


HEY EVERYONE I HAVE SPECIAL GUEST POST FOR YOU TODAY,ENJOY!

Hi all, Susi here from the Arcadian Lighting blog. Like West Furniture Revival, the AL blog is a great place to see beautiful design projects, ideas for home lighting fixtures and trends. One design trend we're loving right now is painted furniture. Placing a painted chest in the foyer is a stylish way to create extra storage and add color to this often neglected room of the house. We've pulled 7 foyers that feature painted chests...
 what do you think?
Love them? Have one already?

Painted Chests and Table Lamps

A sunny yellow painted chest greets visitors and family in this foyer. Placing a painted chest in the foyer adds great storage in a stylish way. The identical table lamps add a nice touch of balance to the room.

Antique Chair with Painted Chests

Paired with a pair of antique chairs, the black painted chest on stand adds an elegant touch to this foyer. The glossy black finish is a stylish alternative to popular white.

Painted Chests and Table Lighting Fixture

This white painted apothecary's chest
creates tons of stylish storage in this foyer.
With painted chests, you can choose the color that best
suits your decor and style.

Painted Chests

A painted chest in the foyer can add a pretty pop of color to this pass through space. Pick a color that contrasts with your wall color for more impact.

Painted Chests
Cheerful robin's egg blue looks pretty on this painted chest of drawers in this foyer. Pick a color you love to transform a chest of drawers into something you and your guests will love. Love the terrific mix of lamps and chandeliers in this space.

Painted Chests
If you are a talented DIYer, paint your own chest of drawers for the foyer. Add details with stencils or contrast ¡°stringing¡± like the blue on this chest.

Painted Chests

Or look for a painted chest with a lot of details, like this one. It will be a conversation point to welcome guests into your home.

Feeling inspired? Comments are welcome! Don't forget to stop by Arcadian Lighting for some quality lighting fixtures  to complete your home and maybe even your painted chests in your foyer!
