Follow these tips and make your entrance hall a more inviting place to be:
1. Indirect lighting for a warm light
Indirect lighting immediately creates a cosy feel. Pendant lights, on the other hand, can be dazzling for smaller people and obstruct the vision of taller people. A wall or floor lamp is a better option for the entrance area.
2. A pleasant fragrance that lingers in the memory
Scent is at least as important as décor. Choose a scented candle or reed diffuser with a delicate and pleasant scent. Visitors store this scent in their subconscious and, in the future, associate it with you and your home.
3. Reveal your personality
Pictures of you and your loved ones allows visitors into your private life. Photos from the past are also a great conversation starter as they quickly arouse the curiosity of your guests.
4. Individual wall design for a visual experience
Want to surprise your guests? Choose an extravagant mural and transform a plain background into an eclectic picture wall. Landscape murals will help make your room appear larger while patterns or flowers will create a more extravagant ambience.
5. Somewhere stylish to hang the coats
There’s a wide range of creative and individual coat-hanging options out there. For example, a coat rack made from a thick branch or brightly coloured wall-mounted knobs.
Put yourself in the shoes of your guests and imagine you are entering your home for the first time. What do you notice? It is often a good idea to change your perspective and look at the familiar environment with different eyes. It’s never too late for a refresh. On that note, have fun decorating, crafting and dressing your entrance hall.
