The first impression: inspiration for a breathtaking entrance hall

The entrance hall is a room to which little attention is usually given. However, the first impression is extremely important and this also applies to homes. So don't neglect the interior design, because your home will be appreciated more if you attach importance to it. Read on for tons of inspiration and useful tips. Decluttering The entrance hall is not a storage room, so it's important to declutter. Coats and shoes definitely belong in the hall, but other items are better placed in the storage room. With less clutter, the entrance hall will immediately seem much larger. Useful decoration In the entrance area, useful decoration such as a bench or a storage cabinet can serve well. The following items are essential in your hallway: Storage space Don't let the little corners of your hall get lost and use them as storage space. You can store a lot of things under the stairs by installing a built-in cabinet. A beautiful dresser allows you to remove a lot of things from sight. You can then display beautiful decorations on top to enhance the ambience of your hallway. Coat racks are very handy in your entrance hall. Everyone wants to hang up their coat somewhere when they come in. Don't use real coat racks, but choose hooks on the wall. That way, the coats do not take up any extra space. Bench It's not easy to take off your shoes while standing up. A bench is therefore the ideal piece of furniture for your hall. A bench with storage space underneath is perfect for a small hallway. Mirror A mirror is always a good idea. It makes your space look bigger and it's useful to quickly check your hair before you go out. Hang the mirrors on the long side so that a narrow space immediately appears wider. Lighting In an entrance hall, there is often little or no natural light. Integrating appropriate and sufficient lighting is therefore very important. A cosy table lamp or standing lamp will give that extra dimension. A natural touch Your hall is the ideal place to display some trendy houseplants. They immediately give the room a natural touch. Pink plants are very trendy these days and are an ideal candidate for the entrance area! See-through The entrance hall will already give a glimpse of the style of your house and will make you want to see the other rooms, even if it's often the only room people get to see. You can already give a sneak peek by working with a glass door. This can be modern, completely in glass, but also industrial with a glass and steel combination. It will create a spacious and open feeling and the hall will therefore look much larger than it really is. In smaller homes (link to Small and living large), this see-through view will stimulate the feeling of spaciousness even more. Bringing it home Don't have a hallway? Then it's also important to integrate smart storage solutions in the space you enter. For example, hang your coats in a built-in cabinet in the kitchen and hide your shoes in a drawer. That way, the temptation to quickly throw everything around is significantly lower.
