INVEST IN A RUG
If you’ve got endless floor space as far because the eye can see, flourish the space with a rug. Before forking out on your favorite rug, confine mind the design of your home.
Adding a contemporary rug to a classically styled home may look odd. Given hallways often span the length of a home; consider a rug which will bring the character of your residence together. Consider the design of nearby rooms.
CREATE A READING NOOK
Don’t let your hallway become a forgotten space. To make a mini-library, add or carve a shelf into the wall and accompany it with an aesthetic, comfortable chair.
Add a cushy chair, a settee and a piece of sea sunset art to make a restful, restorative room.
CREATE SPACE FOR STORING
A home can never have enough storage or enough elegance, so don’t let a handy hallway attend waste. Add a practical cabinet then make it beautiful by adding art. Sit art objects on top of the cupboard and decorate the wall with canvas art. Any excuse going to homeward boutiques and shopping online, right?
PUT SPACE TO PRACTICAL USE
Let’s be honest. Hallways, particularly if they’re at the doorway, often find you being the place we dump stuff. We dump our mail, our bags, our shoes, our hats, our umbrellas.
I mean, what’s an anteroom for if it’s not for ‘making ourselves at home’? If you realize your anteroom isn’t getting to be the proud reception you dream for it to be, then add practical elements sort of a coat rack, an umbrella stand and a shoe cupboard.
Lay some ground rules. If you’re living alone, you’ll escape with bringing your bicycle inside. If you’re a family of 4, that’s getting to be a no. Despite what you would possibly be tempted to think, everyone within the household has good intentions to stay the house neat and tidy, but you’ve got to assist them along. Design the space to fit your family’s needs, regardless of how big or small, clean or messy that family could also be.
BE PRACTICAL
To avoid the hallway getting used as a dumping ground, add storage and establish ground rules.
