Seven brilliant and practical ideas for your entrance hall

The entrance hall is a mostly small room used for storage wardrobe and shoes. It is the first room that gives the impression of your home and usually a leading way to other rooms. Sometimes if it’s not properly designed or decorated, the entrance hall or a corridor may leave the impression that the room is blank. Here are some tips on how you can arrange amazing and practical entrance hall.

1. Use the right colors

Avoid dark shades in the entrance halls using the right colors for them. Many people use white, which really is the safest color. When you want to connect together different rooms, use natural colors and lighter tones that can reflect light.

3. Set table or cushioned bench

Your entrance hall can be a very interesting and well decorated and arranged area and all your friends and family will feel very welcoming. On your entrance, you can set a cushioned bench or even a table where your guests can sit while waiting or take a rest from the long journey. This way you will make your space gets an attractive and welcoming appearance.

4. Add lighting

Since your main goal is to have a bright hallway, then add lighting to it. You can add a pendant lighting on your ceiling, or just a regular wall lamp. Try amazing, big chandelier on the part of the front door and then use the rows of lamps. Combine different types of lighting. However, the best option is natural light through the windows that enters your hallways.

5. Secure place for shoes, clothes, and items

Some homeowners are accustomed to hanging their coats, hats, shoes, umbrellas and other objects in the hallway before entering the house. To avoid overcrowding, provide a large closet, which has hooks in the middle for hanging clothes and lower shelves for shoes.

Detached hangers are the most necessary piece of furniture when decorating entrance hall because you can avoid drilling trough the walls. If you have less space in your entrance hall, choose hangers attached to the wall.

6. Add plate, tray or bowls

Another way to avoid the accumulation and create more space for small items is to add a plate or bowl into which you can put your keys and other content from your pockets. In this way, you do not have to fish around and search around the house for them. Besides small containers for storing small items, you can also add other types of boxes that may favor the bigger items.

7. Be minimalist-minded

You have to stick to the basics, especially in the case if you have a small hallway. Do not add too much furniture instead, and you can decorate the walls with pictures or mirrors and add a few pieces of lighting on the ceiling. If your hallway is spacious enough feel free to add furniture, or still leave a minimalist space because entrance hall is only a passage and you do not want to block the way or make it difficult for orientation.

Floors in the entrance hall should be carefully considered and harmonized with the rest of the floors in your home. Tiles, wood or laminate are suitable and easy to maintain. Or maybe some rugs if you prefer.
