The hall is the first thing that our guests see. Despite this, it may be the part where you spent the least time decorating your house, but it is the first impression your guests will have upon entering your house. For this reason, Habitissimo offers you a list of the mistakes you should not make when decorating a hall.
Neglecting style
As the hall is a passageway, we may not give it the same importance as another room in the house. Because it is a transit space, the furniture we choose should be scarce and not too large, but this is not synonymous with the fact that it does not reflect our personality. Decorate it according to the global style of your house and integrate small touches to your liking such as a mirror, plants or a painting.
Saturate space
Even if you have an extensive reception, the key to success is always to keep in mind not to overload the environment. Suspended furniture, cabinets lacquered in the same color as the background or with mirror fronts are visually lighter and more aesthetic. Remember the maxim that less is more.
Forget about lighting
Light is essential in any room. If you are lucky enough to be able to open a window or glaze your front door to let in natural light, don’t hesitate. If not, you can always use artificial light, soft lighting will give a warm and cozy touch to your home.
Do not use the possibilities of color
Colors have the power to transmit different sensations: warm and neutral tones will create well-being environments and blues, greens and grays will calm us when we return home. In addition, color can help you differentiate environments if you do not have much physical space, paint a wall in another color and will help you delimit the hall area.
If your house has a gotelé, maybe the time has come to remove it to wash your face. Start with the hall that according to habitissimo has a cost of 400 euros and change the first impression of your guests.
Not think about our needs
When distributing the hall, think about the first things you do when you get home and what items you need to achieve maximum comfort: where to leave the keys, the coats, if you want to store your shoes at the entrance … Set aside each section of the storage to a function and aim to keep order so that chaos does not reign in your hall.
Do not take advantage of space
Sharpen your wits to the maximum to take advantage of every corner. Choose a piece of furniture with little depth but that takes advantage of the entire height of the wall or install a system of hangers in the form of rails. A gap in the wall, a partition or any apparently useless angle can become the perfect place to install your storage corner.
