WELCOME HOME INSPIRATION FOR HALLS
TIPS FOR DECORATING YOUR HALL
The hallway is the first thing you, your family, and your guests encounter when you come home. So make sure your hallway feels welcoming and organized. The hallway is like a reflection of your entire home. Here we have gathered some things to consider.
3 TIPS FOR AN INVITING HALL
Below are some important things to consider to create an inviting hall. For us, stylish and functional storage is crucial to building a well-organized and pleasant entrance. A key factor to consider is creating a welcoming atmosphere while maximizing the available space.
No. 1 - FOCUS ON FUNCTIONALITY
Since the hallway is where the outside meets the inside, it's easy to bring in dirt from the outside. Therefore, it is important to make good material choices when it comes to both floors and walls and to choose furniture that lasts over time. An optimal hallway is both functional and well-organized.
A tip is to consider that the hallway should have space for all the winter jackets, shoes, and gloves – regardless of when you furnish and plan your hallway, as there will always be a time when these items need to be stored.
It is becoming increasingly common with custom-built or built-in storage, which can then be complemented with visually appealing storage solutions such as sitting benches with storage, shelves, hooks, and coat racks.
No. 2 - A COZY AND WELCOMING ATMOSPHERE
The hall is the room that gives your guests, you, and your family a first impression of the home. Therefore, give the hall a little extra love and care by using soft colors and interior details that make your guests more likely to feel welcome when they come through the door.
When it comes to color, make sure to start from the hall's conditions. A hall with a lot of natural light does not necessarily need to be painted in a warm color, but dare to go for slightly cooler shades. If the hall, on the other hand, does not have much light, or none at all as is often the case, warmer colors are suitable to create a warmer feeling. Do not be afraid to add color to the hall that matches the rest of the interior choices in the home. – The hall becomes a nice preview of the rest of the home.
No. 3 - MAXIMIZE THE SPACE
The hallway is often the room that gets the least square meters on the floor plan and therefore becomes a smaller space. It is therefore important to maximize the available space without it feeling over-furnished.
Mirrors are a simple detail that quickly makes the room feel larger because they create an illusion of space. It is also very practical to have mirrors in the hallway, large or small, to easily take a glance in the mirror before leaving home. Mirrors also capture light from adjacent rooms and make the hallway feel brighter. Mirrors with built-in storage solutions for keys provide a two-in-one solution, perfect for a smaller hallway with limited space. Hat racks and coat hangers combined with shoe racks create an organized feeling while maximizing the space and giving a neat visual expression to your hallway decor.
HOW TO THINK WHEN FURNISHING YOUR HALL
When furnishing a hall, it is important to consider the household's flow to ease stressful mornings and avoid unnecessary conflicts and disturbances. Our tip is to first measure the hall to see how much space you have to work with when choosing furniture, and where you can place them to maximize the area.
Place hanging options near the front door to easily hang up your jackets when you come home. For example, hat racks, hook strips, hangers, or a coat stand can prevent jackets and other outerwear from ending up on the floor.
TIPS! If you have children, it is a good idea to put up a hook strip or hooks at their height, so they can easily hang up their outerwear when they are old enough.
Are you a person who loves shoes but also order and tidiness? Then it's an excellent idea to place an open shoe rack near the hat rack. Next to the shoe rack, you can place a bench, where both big and small can easily put on their shoes. Alternatively, a console table can be a practical storage solution for keys while also being an aesthetically pleasing piece of furniture to add to the hall. It is easy to decorate with interior details such as lamps or flowers, and it becomes an obvious place to have a mirror – perfect for making the final adjustments before you leave the home.
THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN DECORATING THE HALLWAY
When the furniture is in place, it is time to decorate the hallway and add your personal touch, preferably in harmony with the rest of the home to create a nice overall impression.
Baskets can be both aesthetically pleasing and practical, especially when used to store gloves, hats, and scarves. A doormat should catch dirt that comes in from outside. The choice of color is up to you, but a dark mat is recommended, especially if you have small children. If you have a long hallway, it is nice to place a runner that gives a softer impression.
Give your hallway the final touches by adding decorative details that create a cozy feeling:
- A lamp on a base – provides a soft and pleasant light.
- A small vase with dried or fresh-cut flowers – a natural splash of color.
- A larger pot with a green plant helps improve air quality and adds a touch of natural beauty to the decor.
- Stacked books create a cozy and personal feeling in the hallway while also becoming a nice decorative detail.
