Entrance hall, hallway, foyer, call it what you will, this is the first impression of your home, therefore it needs to symbolise your style immediately. Whether it is English country living you are
channeling with a welly rack at the front door, or Georgian splendor with an elegant
coat stand, it’s all in the detail. Whatever the size, this room shouldn’t be
overlooked as it’s the ideal place to showcase your homes style. Here at Butterfly Lane we love a grand entrance so here are some inspirational images to help you with your design journey...
There are three pre-requisites that everyone needs to consider to
accomplish a stunning entrance space.
The Front Door
Did you know that the colour of your front represents the mood and
feel of your home? Blues represent
abundance and prosperity, yellow provokes wisdom and confidence whilst green is
said to represent balance, peace and compassion. Now, I don’t think this is supposed to be taken
too seriously when forging your colour scheme, however, it might help you with
your final decision.
Along with the colour of your front door, think about the door
furniture. I am a massive fan of large
brass door knockers, they look so regal and extravagant. Here are a couple of inspiring front door
images.
Furniture
Getting the right furniture is so important to use your space to the
utmost. I suggest the following key
pieces:
A Console Table
A stunning console table is needed as a focal point to the
room. It will also showcase beautiful
decorative accessories, along with housing an obligatory vase of fresh flowers,
the perfect welcome for your guests.
Somewhere To Sit
Invest in a stunning chair, sofa or chaise
longue. They are such a great feature to
have in any room, and can express your individuality perfectly.
Mirrors
They create the illusion of space and also
on a practical note, necessary to apply your lippy as you dart out of the door!
Coat Stand
I love a coat stand, however not to use practically as they can look
cluttered and untidy, but they can look stunning in a hallway, with a few
placed umbrellas and hats.
Lighting
It is important not to overlook the importance of lighting when it
comes to interior design. A good lighting
plan will bring together ambience, feature and decorative lighting without
sacrificing functionality. Combined with
elegant design, the right lighting scheme can give a luxurious feel to your
home. Think lamps, wall lights and
chandeliers, along with feature lighting going up the stairs.
Make an unforgettable first impression and create an entrance hall
of splendor and beauty...X
