Design entrance area

Basically, there are different furniture, colors, and decorative elements in the hallway, just like in other rooms. Unfortunately, these furnishing options are often neglected, so the entrance area usually does not look very inviting and tidy. With the following basic equipment, you know exactly how to perfectly furnish your hallway.

1. The hallway furniture: Especially in the cold season, you need space in the hallway for jackets and coats. If you have a large hallway, cloakroom cabinets are no problem.Sliding doors can save some space when opening the wardrobe. For medium-sized or small hallways, a ceiling-mounted wardrobe or coat hooks, both of which do not take up much space, are suitable. But even for large entrance areas, clothes rails are a welcome alternative. This makes the hallway look not so cluttered and tidy - provided there is not too much on the floor or hanging on the walls. The same applies to shoes. These can be stored in a closed shoe cabinet. Another option is shoe racks or shoe benches, which can also be used as seating. This way, you can comfortably put on and take off your shoes. A stool or a chair are also suitable to complement the furnishings in the entrance area - if space permits.To ensure that keys, wallets, and other small items don't get scattered around, sufficient storage and surface areas need to be created. You can achieve this with a console table or a wall mirror that has an integrated storage area.
2. The colors: There are no limits when it comes to colors. The only thing that matters is your taste. If you prefer a more restrained Scandinavian style, classic white or pastel colors are suitable. This gives the hallway visually more breadth, which is especially optimal for a narrow corridor. Additionally, it appears friendly and inviting. Another plus point is the flexibility in furniture selection, as you can combine a lot with these colors.Of course, you also have the option to equip the entrance area with strong colors, as this is a space where you spend little time, so more daring is allowed. Whether it's vibrant yellow, green or blue, half-painted walls, patterned wallpapers or contrasting block stripes - everything is allowed. In addition, you can make a statement with a strong color.
3. The Decor: Depending on the type of entrance area you have, you have different decor options. You can perfectly turn a long hallway into a photo gallery or a library, if space allows. Plants on the floor or a bouquet on the dresser create a cozy and inviting atmosphere.
4. The Lighting: Usually, the entrance area is not supplied with natural daylight, so the lighting plays an important role.Bright spots provide enough light and do not require space in the form of wall lights. The latter can of course also be installed, provided there is enough space. Spot lighting can create a great ambiance.

As varied as the respective entrance area can be, so are the furnishing wishes and preferences of each individual. With our 3 furnishing concepts, you will find the right one for you.

1. The unusual entrance area: The unusual hallway offers room for experimentation.Basically, anything goes. You can work with bright colors, resort to extravagant patterned wallpapers, or stage special pieces of furniture. A darkly offset ceiling can also achieve a special effect.
2. The classic hallway: The classically furnished hallway shines through few objects. This makes the room appear larger because it is not so cluttered. Light and gentle colors like white or pastel tones bring calm and do not overwhelm the eye. In addition, different pieces of furniture can be combined. To prevent it from looking too empty, a few pictures can be hung up.
3. The practical hallway: When designing the hallway, the main focus is on its use. Many storage spaces and storage areas are essential.A narrow cabinet suitable for winter and autumn jackets is recommended. Additional storage should also be planned for bags. A shoe rack is also a must in a practical hallway. This can not only be used as storage for shoes, but also offers a seating option to comfortably put on and take off shoes. Before leaving the house, you can do a final check in the mirror, which provides a storage area for keys and wallet.
