Answer
Brighten a traditional entryway by installing a brass lantern fixture with warm 2700 K bulbs and adding a vintage runner rug to soften footsteps. Choose a cohesive color palette that deepens wall color subtly, and highlight original woodwork with layered lighting. These tweaks create inviting warmth and highlight craftsmanship, making the space feel intentional and welcoming without remodeling.
