The entrance of a house is the first room that visitors see as soon as they open the door, a sort of transition between the exterior and the interior. It is almost as important as any other room in the house, as it anticipates the style of the home.
Surely you have entered a house and you have had a strange sensation, of disorder, of badly placed furniture, without sense, boring or badly decorated furniture. It is not always easy to decide how to decorate this area, it all depends on the space we have, the needs of the user, the use we want to make of it, our personal style, etc.
Light in a space is a fundamentally important element. When you enter a house that seems dark and poorly lit, the impression you get when you wake up is not a very positive one. On the other hand, a sufficiently illuminated environment is capable of enhancing the entire room. Since it is rare for an entrance to make the most of natural light, it is good to insert a suitable source of light, through wall sconces, hanging lamps or indirect light. We can talk about furniture with a simpler design, console type or furniture with more design, thought in detail and personalised to the needs of each person. For smaller spaces, some options are furniture with little depth, whether they are consoles, a floating shelf or a multifunctional shoe rack. Simpler furniture with a more austere decoration so as not to detract from the limited space available. They can be functional and not only aesthetic, for example, a piece of furniture with drawers to be able to store everything that generates a visual distraction and, therefore, an overload of space. Multifunctional benches with hidden drawers are also good options.
Placing the right mirrors in the right place will help to dress up the walls of your home, making it more stylish and elegant. In this case, less is more, as the type of mirror, material, design or colour is just as important as the surrounding environment. They provide an optical effect of spaciousness and generosity in the space.
When we have enough space we can opt for furniture configured to our whim; wardrobes with different compositions and designs, to store coats, shoes, scarves, bags, and everything more typical of a home entrance.
In some homes, opening the door leads directly into the living room, and there is no space in between. However, it is important to create a reception area that is differentiated from the rest of the room, so it is preferable to place a piece of furniture that is partially open to the rest of the room to give it a sense of spaciousness. It can be a bookcase, an entrance unit with a stained glass window on top or a wooden slatted structure. This is a great solution for creating entrance spaces that seemed impossible before.
Not everything should be furniture and design pieces, we can also opt for wallpapers, a great ally to give personality and uniqueness to a space. There is an infinite variety of patterns, designs, colours, geometries, and an endless number of options. With these ideas and tips you can now surprise your guests.
