The entryway is the room with the best cost-to-impact ratio in the house: it's the first thing anyone sees, and it's usually small enough that a handful of well-chosen pieces makes a real difference. A console, mirror, and lighting go the furthest.

| Low | Mid | High | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Console table | $150–$350 | $350–$900 | $900–$2,500+ | Depth matters more than width in narrow entryways. A slim profile console prevents a cramped feel. |
| Mirror | $60–$180 | $180–$500 | $500–$1,500+ | A large mirror above the console makes a small entry feel bigger and adds a last check before heading out. |
| Lighting (pendant or sconce) | $80–$200 | $200–$600 | $600–$2,000+ | Overhead lighting is worth the electrician if the entry currently relies on a single overhead bulb. |
| Storage (bench or shelving) | $100–$300 | $300–$800 | $800–$2,000+ | A bench with storage underneath solves the shoe pile problem that most entryways have. |
| Runner rug | $80–$200 | $200–$600 | $600–$2,000 | Should be durable and easy to clean, this is the highest-traffic floor surface in the home. |

What a typical Havenly entryway includes
A standard full redesign includes a console table, a mirror, a light fixture, a runner rug, and a storage solution for shoes and bags. Because entryways are small, most of the budget goes further here than in any other room.
Entryway design cost—common questions
How much does it cost to design an entryway?
An entryway redesign typically costs $300–$2,500+ for furniture and décor, depending on scope. A light refresh (a mirror and updated lighting) runs $300–$900. A full redesign with a console, mirror, lighting, and storage runs $900–$2,500. With Havenly, the design fee is $159–$499, included in those estimates.
What is a realistic budget for an entryway?
For most people, $900–$1,800 is a realistic budget for a full entryway redesign: console, mirror, lighting, and a runner. A mirror and lighting swap alone can come in under $500.
How much does a Havenly entryway design cost?
Havenly's design fee for an entryway starts at $159 for a full online design package, including a vetted professional designer, unlimited revisions, a 3D rendering, and a curated shopping list.
