Entrance hall: the calling card of your home!
Learn more about how the entrance hall decor reflects your personality and can be very functional!
The entrance hall is our first contact with the house. It says a lot about who lives there and reflects their personality, tastes, and lifestyle. Remember that the first impression is the one that lasts!
Therefore, you should pay close attention to the decoration of this space. See the entrance hall as much more than just a place where we hang our coat and bag when we get home!
However, it’s a transitional space, where we spend very little time. Therefore, it should be functional, allow for organization, but also be welcoming and comfortable for guests.
Make your personal style clear.
Reflect your personality: pictures, plants, and small decorative objects immediately make it clear who you are!
Small details, such as colorful handles or designer coat racks, surprise and add a fun touch to the environment.
Entrance halls are often small or narrow. Mirrors help to increase the perceived size of the space. And on top of that, they allow for that last-minute touch-up to your makeup before you leave!
Round mirrors give a romantic feel and look beautiful hanging in the entrance hall. But you can also opt for large mirrors, even ones that cover an entire wall.
Just remember to balance this object with the rest of the decor and lighting to avoid visual clutter.
Don’t let problems enter your home.
When we arrive home, we should leave the street outside! The entrance hall serves this purpose. If it’s raining, that’s where we hang our umbrella to prevent moisture and dirt from entering the other rooms.
Incidentally, coat racks also serve to keep a coat handy for cold days or even a hat for when the sun is very strong. This way, the family is always prepared to face any weather.
Organize your hallway with functional furniture.
The entrance hall serves this purpose: it’s a space where we can keep some important items handy for when we have to rush out of the house. But be careful with the accumulation of objects. In addition to obstructing the passage, they can create visual clutter.
Invest in furniture that helps organize the space and, at the same time, helps avoid excess. The entrance hall is not a storage room, and functional furniture is the best way to put everything in its place.
Speaking of leaving problems outside, that also applies to dirt. Carpets are essential so that you and your guests can wipe your feet before entering, which makes cleaning the house much easier!
Furthermore, many people have the habit of leaving their shoes in the entrance hall. For this, a shoe rack is essential. It’s a piece of furniture that, in addition to being very charming, has become indispensable during the pandemic, as taking off your shoes before entering the house reduces the risk of contamination!
A console table can help keep things organized, and it’s also ideal for placing objects on or even leaving your keys. When combined with a mirror, it becomes a true ally for those who are always in a hurry – leave those essential items you keep forgetting on the console table, and you’ll never have problems again!
Illuminate the environment.
It’s important to pay attention to the lighting in the entrance hall. Imagine you’re coming home at night: the lighting in the hall is ideal to prevent you from tripping and hurting yourself. Furthermore, in a well-lit environment, you can better organize yourself and leave the problems of the outside world behind.
A well-designed lighting project will give that “home sweet home” feeling as soon as you enter the room!
Finally, a valuable tip: the entrance hall needs to be in harmony with the living room. The transition from one environment to the other should be harmonious, in terms of color palette, decoration, and lighting. Think of these two spaces as complementary.
