Where Minimal Meets Meaningful: Jamie Lee Curtis’ Entryway Shows How Subtle Antiques, Gentle Lighting, and Artful Restraint Can Create a Space Rich in Personality
Jamie's entryway welcomes and entices; it is the ultimate blend of old and new
There's a unique charm and character that comes with decorating with antiques. While there's nothing wrong with modern furniture or decor, old treasures have a patina and personality that newer pieces lack.
While many associate antique styles with maximalist homes, Jamie Lee Curtis' entryway proves that minimalist spaces can welcome past-loved styles too. Featuring a rustic birthing chair, vintage paintings and retro lighting, the pared-back pass-through space proves the quiet versatility of antiques in their many forms.
Jamie's space might be simple, but it's filled with thoughtful details that can be recreated at home. From lighting to plants, these six picks will help you create a welcoming, warm, and well-accomplished entryway inspired by Jamie Lee Curtis.

A vintage haven, Jamie's entryway is the perfect balance of old and new. While there are plenty of characterful details, it's all pared back with a neutral color palette and minimal styling. It's welcoming, rather than overwhelming, and proves the power of holding back.
A timeless style, this vintage birthing chair is just like Jamie's. Rustic in shape, it'll bring a charming warmth to an entryway – not to mention it'll come in handy when you're slipping your shoes on and off!
Vintage art brings quiet charm and elegance to empty walls. Much like Jamie's paintings, this vintage European landscape is quaint in subject, adorned with a gilded frame. It's hard not to love this timeless classic.
A long-loved lighting staple, the IKEA GULLSUDARE light is delicate and simple. Shining bright amidst the darker furniture and paintings, it's a clever choice in Jamie's entryway.
Through Jamie's entryway is a rather lush fiddle leaf fig plant, standing proud in a minimal white plant pot, much like this ceramic planter from Wayfair.
Elevate your art with this embossed bronze picture frame. In homage to Jamie's stylish entryway, hang even your most contemporary paintings in this charming accessory for a lived-in, nostalgic feel.
For a light-flooded space, opt for the Lena sheer curtains. A clever choice that balances the dark wood furniture in the entryway, Jamie opts for a similar style to ensure plenty of daylight trickles through her space.
Jamie's entryway is the perfect balance of old and new. While the styling edges on the minimal side, she's not held back on scattering antique treasures, from art to furniture; it's a welcoming space that beckons you to enter.
