The Psychology of First Impressions: Why Your Home’s Entrance Speaks Volumes About You
We spend a lot of time on this podcast talking about the masks people wear in public, but what happens when the mask comes off at the front door? The truth is, your home is a physical manifestation of your subconscious, and the entryway is the opening statement of that narrative. Whether you are hosting a dinner party or just having a neighbor drop by, the way you curate your entryway—from the scent in the air to the various foyer lighting options you choose—sets the stage for how people perceive your personality and lifestyle. We often think we are being subtle, but our guests’ brains are working overtime to categorize us before they even take off their shoes. It is a raw, unfiltered look into who we really are, or at least, who we want the world to think we are.
