Decorating The Foyer With Flea Market Finds

Today’s guest post is from Susi, a writer for Arcadian Lighting. Founded in 2002, Arcadian Lighting started selling decorative home lighting fixtures and lamps online, and has become one of the top Internet retailers for home lighting products. Visit their website and cool blog for more information. The foyer is often the room we forget to decorate. With a small budget and a keen eye, you can find amazing pieces for your foyer at the flea market. Here are eight of our favorite foyers that have wonderful flea market décor. The great thing about flea market décor is you can mix it in with pieces you already own for a inexpensive but stylish new look. Enjoy!

This is such a clever use for vintage suitcases and reclaimed wood... make a console table. If only you could open the suitcases and use them as storage.

Traditional style furniture and prints are great flea market finds for your foyer. A drop leaf table makes a perfect console table. Love the vintage phone.

A collection of flea market finds makes for a charming foyer. The dresser provides storage for shoes, keys, mail, umbrellas... you name it. Love the upholstery on the vintage chair and the lovely little wall sconces.

Recovering a piano bench is a colorful suzani and painting the base transforms it into the perfect seating for an entry. A vintage Mission style umbrella stand is put to good use holding vintage canes.

Small flea market finds can create an interesting still life in the foyer. Unusual lamps and objects add personal character in the space.

  1. Years ago I went with a classic terra cotta tile in my kitchen. The white trend has come in strong but a classic is timeless and my tiles are still warm and welcoming and beautiful.

  2. I love all these foyer ideas. The suitcase table is the best. I just recently redecorated my foyer and I really do love it. But I should have changed the wall paint, so I will be at it again the minute I get a chance!

  3. I think the suitcases could be used for storage. Fill them with seasonal/holiday stuff. That way it's out of sight the rest of the year.
