The entryway to your home is the first thing that people see when they walk in the front door. It’s also the first thing that YOU see when you walk into your home, so it makes sense that you would want to ensure that this is a place that feels welcoming, is well lit and looks beautiful. The hall may not be a room, but it’s still a part of the house that you have to pay attention to so that you can welcome people into the space. You need to create an entrance that speaks to your personality and ensures that people feel impressed when they come in the door. ​
Your entrance should make you happy and make you feel happy to be home. You should be looking at everything from the floor to the ceiling to make sure that your entrance way feels complete. The carpet may need replacing and you might need to rethink those wall sconces and invest in plaster repair around them. You should create a hall with personality, so that you can truly make an entrance. With this in mind, we’ve got some of the best suggestions that you need to get your hallways looking fantastic. Let’s take a look!

Make Your Entrance Look Great With These Tips!

  • Check your storage situation
Do you have a Harry Potter-esque cupboard under the stairs? If you do, you’re pretty golden because this means that your entrance hall is going to have some great storage for your coats and shoes. If you don't have one and the entrance hall is still a narrow place, why not consider the walls as your storage place? With wall-mounted boxes and shelves, you can really create some storage that people can reach without tripping over themselves.

  • Add some personality
Gallery walls aren't just for lounges and bedrooms, you know. Let people come in and see your beautiful family from the moment they enter the space with the creation of a gallery wall. A blank corridor has so much potential and hanging family photos and portraits is going to be the simplest solution to ensuring that your pathway has the personal touch it needs. 

  • Be a little bolder with your color choices
Do you really need a beige hallway? No! Just because Instagram has made taupe popular doesn't mean that you have to buy into it. Go bold and create a rainbow of color if you want to! Go with classic thick black and white stripes with the occasional thin strip of shocking pink or daring yellow. Make your hallway interesting to look at with a bolder color choice.

  • Add some light
Lighting up your patio is easy enough with the right outside lighting, but what about the inside? Hallways are often without windows, which means that you have to create the light artificially. Add lamps to the hallway tables or reinstall the wall-mounted lights. Don't be afraid to use large floor lamps, too, and let the light flood the place!
  • Add some furniture
The hallway may be a small place to be, but that doesn't mean that you can’t add a storage bench! The bench can act as a seat as well as a place for hats and umbrellas that always seem to get in the way!

  • Bring a bit of nature inside
With the right wall shelves, you can store vases packed with fresh flowers that scent your hallway from the moment you walk into the house. Climbing plants around the inside of the door is also spectacular, but you can go for the fake ones if you’re worried about fresh plants inside the house. 

  • Add a few mirrors
If you want to really light up the space with the extra lighting, why not add a few mirrors? The light can bounce off them into the corners, making this the most welcoming space in the house. You’ll immediately be able to dress up a drab hallway and you’ll brighten it up, making it look bigger all at once!

  • Add some texture
Lastly, you can really make a grand entrance with the right rugs! Flooring doesn't have to be boring (ha, that rhymes), not when you have a rug guiding people to the front of the stairs! If you have wood or lino flooring, particularly, you can warm up the place and offer it some texture and thickness that instantly gives people the impression of comfort.
Your entrance hall doesn't have to be boring and dark. There are so many things that you can do with it - and now you know how!
