The hallway or entryway is the first part of the house which anyone will see when they come to visit. The color and freshness of this entryway refresh in the above photo by Heather Bullard are truly inspirational.
When we start looking into refreshing the house for the spring months, we often forget about this vital area of the home and it can be left neglected and dull.
This spring if you want to create a bright and open entryway space for yourself and your family, read on for inspirational ideas for you to try.
Upgrade the floor
Considering the entryway to the home is usually a small space to work with, one of the easiest ways to refresh the space is to upgrade the flooring.
If you currently have a dull carpet which has seen better days, replacing this with a high traffic tufted carpet or wooden flooring can be a great idea and it will make the space feel more welcoming.
You can even go one step further with the flooring and make it into a feature by choosing a bright color or pattern. Have fun with it and make an impression.
Open it up
Although a lot of us still have small corridors to welcome people into our homes, there are also many of us who don’t. If you are looking for something which is a little more modern and spacious why not get rid of the wall which closes your hallway in and open up the space.
When we open up the space into the home it can create much more light and space which can make a good impact on the space.
Add a touch of life
If you have a space in the hallway which can welcome people to your home, you will want to use any method that you can to create a stunning scene which makes people want to come in and see the rest of the home.
One of the more unconventional ways you can do this is to add a fish tank to the area. A fish tank can be a great way to add some new pets to the home but it can also be a great method to add color and life to an otherwise dull part of the house.
Designer Light
Most of us have an entryway which consists of a hallway next to the stairs, and this is a space which can be difficult to upgrade. However one of the ways we can make our home feel comfortable is to add a designer light or chandelier on the stairs.
A home should be a place where we can relax and where we enjoy entertaining our friends and family. Bright clean spaces are always inviting.
Add personality
A house isn’t a home without some personal touches to make it pop. If you want to make the entryway look more exciting and more characterful, you could use the long space to create a collage wall. This collage could consist of artwork, film posters, photographs and anything you like.
You can create a crazy wall with different sized and colored frames or keep things simple with a few of your favorite images. Have fun with it and make it your own.
