Kris Jenner uses a luxurious focal point to elevate her simple white entryway – I love the bold impact of this easy-to-recreate upgrade
A white entryway gets an impactful upgrade in the socialite's foyer – a blue vase, greenery, and pedestal table completely remake the space


I have a confession: I hate white painted spaces. I know the shade is popular because it's versatile, and simple, resaleable, but it often comes off looking too soulless for my taste. Luckily, in my time as an interior design journalist, I've learned that there are simple ways to upgrade these plain schemes to make them look more interesting and attractive. Kris Jenner's technique is my favorite to date.
The matriarch of the Kardashian clan took to Instagram to share her white entryway idea, which she has elevated with a pedestal table. Her simple white and marble piece of furniture brings visual interest and a sense of history due to its intricate carving. Atop the table, a hand-painted blue and white planter is home to several arching dried green leaves. It adds color, warmth, and personality to the otherwise unadorned space.
What is so visually interesting about Jenner's entryway makeover? Most importantly, the table creates emphasis as a striking 'focal point.' This is a design technique that directs the eye within a space. Since our brains process the things that are easiest for us to compute based on patterns as the 'most beautiful,' this is a surefire, psychological way to enchant your guests. In this case, the pedestal table and plant add height and interest. The 'focal point' technique is especially useful in an entryway where you are looking to make an immediate impact on visitors.

An antique planter like this is great for adding character to a pedestal table in an entryway. I love this antique one from Etsy, but there are also lots of great options at 1stDibs and on eBay.
This gorgeous faux marble table has a luxurious look at the right price. The modern shape adds a little something extra – it's hard to believe it's actually so affordable.
Grace the vase in your entryway with faux eucalyptus stems for a beautiful, evergreen greeting for your guests. I love that eucalyptus is slightly more gray for a subtle appearance.
Considering the interaction between the pedestal table and staircase is also essential for designing a similar space. Jenner has worked with the shape and colors of her staircase to create a look in which all of the elements work harmoniously with one another. The curve of the table plays off of the curve of the staircase, creating an inviting and attractive symmetry. Jenner's colorwork is equally apt; though the focal point adds color to the space, there is nothing particularly dark. Instead, she lets the black staircase railing be the only black accent in the space, making its delicate, dark color all the more impactful.
To recreate this look, it's important to choose an artful blend of modern aesthetics and decorating with antiques. Contrast is key. For instance, in Jenner's entryway, the antique marble of the pedestal table and the vintage plater perfectly meshes with the modern white and cream color scheme. Against one another, both elements make the other appear more interesting. In my opinion, a mix of elements is the most important part of a beautiful design, and it's extra impactful in Kris Jenner's simple entryway.
Using a focal point, paying attention to shape and color, and blending a variety of design elements are the simplest ways to elevate a neutral room. With techniques like these, white-painted spaces aren't so bad.
