Foyer in a home with a floor to ceiling closet, drawers, hooks on the wall and a built-in bench

Open foyer: Alair Homes Toronto

November 08, 2026 in Interiors

A dedicated, functional entryway or foyer can be hard to find in the city, especially in older or narrow homes. This foyer went from being an enclosed space to an open and spacious place to come home to or welcome guests.

With a large area, coat closet, drawers, hooks and a bench, there’s plenty of room for everyone to get ready to go out or return home.

Build: Alair Homes Toronto
Interior designer: Brian McCourt Designs

Even bathrooms without a lot of natural light can still feel comfortable. Lighting can be added throughout the room in addition to the main overhead lights so you have the option of turning it on or create a mood with accent lighting.

Sunsets lately 🌇 The countdown to the shortest day of the year is on and then we’ll get more daylight from there. 47 days to go if you’re counting down too 😂

It’s ok if you don’t want to add colour to your kitchen. If you like neutrals or black and (off) white, there are ways to incorporate them like @belyndacheninteriors did here.

The island is black, but with some detail on the side to add

This is very much my kind of kitchen 😍 It’s the details like the skylight above the coffee + tea station, rolling vertical storage, and the overall design that make this both beautiful and functional.
