The entrance area not only welcomes us into our home, but also forms the first impression we receive about the apartment, and it should immediately be positive. But it's not that simple. Keychains, jackets, coats and shoes: all of these eventually need to be stored in the hallway. We'll tell you what practical and stylish options there are for your wardrobe.
Hallway decoration: tips and recommendations from our interior experts
The ideal hallway design begins not with furniture and decor, but with the detailed layout of the room. If you build it yourself, the hallway can, of course, be arranged according to your wishes and needs. But even with already built apartments and houses, with the right approach, you can freely design many things. When planning, we recommend considering the following five points:
• Wall Design: Accent your hallway with the right color. It is best to choose light and pleasant colors and then paint only one wall if possible.
• Choice of flooring: large tiles will make the hallway more spacious. Therefore, the rule here is that the more, the better.
• Lighting: Provide bright light and give your entryway a homey feel.
• Furniture: Choose hallway furniture that is functional, yet space-saving and not too overwhelming.
• Decoration: With the right decorative accessories, you can personalize a more practical space and visually enhance it.
• Whether stationary or free-standing: mirrors give the hallway more space and brightness by reflecting light.
Special tip - make the most of small hallways.
The most popular furniture for the entrance area
Especially in a small hallway, hallway furniture needs to be chosen carefully, since there is already little space here. Depending on the size of the hallway, a massive and bulky cabinet is often unnecessary. But not having a wardrobe isn't the end of the world, as there are plenty of good alternatives. You can either install a narrow rack that will fit all your jackets, coats, and umbrellas, or opt for a space-saving wall rack. Wall hooks take up minimal space, so you can make optimal use of your hallway space.
Cabinets
Central place in the hallway: clothes hanger. It keeps your jackets and coats handy and organized. For those who like to see their clothes, coat hooks and hangers, fancy coat racks, or a free-standing coat rack are ideal. If you prefer a neater look, you should choose an enclosed option, such as a spacious wardrobe.
Dressers and sideboards
Clean or playful, closed or open? Hallway dressers can define the look of your wardrobe. They offer plenty of storage space and serve as a practical place to store keys, sunglasses, notepads and so on.
Hallway furniture colors
What colors are the ideal choice for hallway furniture? Make sure that the colors of your hallway and hallway furniture sets depend primarily on the color of the walls and the size of the hallway. Dark entryway furniture looks really wonderful in large home entryways and in front of light walls and is not expensive at all. Dark and heavy furniture does not always produce an intimidating, bulky effect - in combination with light colors of walls and floors, as well as a spacious room, dark hallway furniture in black, brown or dark gray is presented beautifully and elegantly. However, if you have a small hallway and perhaps a dark brown wooden floor, then not only the walls, but also the furniture in the hallway should be in white or other subtle shades, such as beige or light pastel colors!
