A CHARMING HALL
Whether small or large, the fact of decorating the hall with charm fulfills a key mission, because it is the preamble to what can be seen in the rest of the house. Being a transit area, no one will stay in it long enough to enjoy its details, so its decoration focuses on generating sensations: joy, charm, sophistication… To get it right for sure, we show you how to decorate a hall white to make it a cozy and beautiful place.
The hall is the place where we usually leave all our things when we get home. For this reason, we want to give you some ideas to turn it into a space that, in addition to being beautiful, is practical and functional.
TIDY RECEIVERS
When we get home, we need a place where we immediately leave all our things; Therefore, we recommend you maintain visual order in your hall with these ideas. Do not fall into chaos and apply a design that fits your needs. Before furnishing it, the first thing you should do is analyze your habits. Then, study the space you have, do not forget that it is a transit area; therefore, circulation must be facilitated and there must be at least 90 cm free.
Choose practical and functional furniture to maintain order at home. The most practical thing is to design halls equipped with a practical console. A sideboard with drawers to store small things is also interesting, as is a standing coat rack and a shelf with hangers at different heights. On the other hand, we cannot forget the shoe rack, very recurrent to store shoes and a side table where to put some decoration.
Designate a small area to wait for other family members or to change your shoes. The benches are very practical and, in addition, you can take advantage of the lower area to put boxes and have extra storage space.
If you want to save and optimize space, compact furniture is the ideal solution to store all kinds of things in a few meters. In this way, shelves, drawers or hooks are very functional and multiple models can be found on the market. To find out more, scroll down the screen and get inspired by these modern and current receivers.
1- A VERY COMPLETE HALL
Multifunctional furniture is ideal for small spaces. In this hall, a bench with a coat rack has been chosen. In addition, the drawers will serve as a shoe rack. We like the industrial style of the furniture…
2- BEACH STYLE
In summer, you will have to put a different spin on it. Now scarves, coats or gloves will be exchanged for hats, towels or diving goggles. Use lightweight baskets to store and keep pool items close at hand… Allocate some boxes for flip-flops and towels and racks for hats.
3- GREAT ALLIES
Designate a small area to wait for other family members or to change your shoes. Benches are very practical and, in addition, you can take advantage of the lower area to put boxes and have extra storage space, like this hall.
4- EVERYTHING IN ITS PLACE
It is important to have an assigned place for each object. Get several pieces of furniture that divide the hall into different parts: an area for shoes, another for bags and backpacks, or keys. This way they will know where to leave everything at first.
5- DECORATED IN TUNE
Hall in neutral tones with a mix of style.
The chromatic unit allows integrating the different finishes in the same space. The mix of materials and finishes enriches the space. Getting everything to fit is possible if we play with light and neutral tones. A marble console and antique gilt legs go perfectly with the circular wooden mirror and country-style bench. The details, all in wood and white, seamlessly add to the charm of this hallway.
If you have recessed spotlights, you don’t need a very powerful auxiliary light source. In these cases we can allow ourselves the luxury of installing a ceiling model as original as this one, medieval in style, with sails.
6- VERTICAL DECORATION
Hall decorated with paintings and plants
Get the wall composition right by making a paper template in advance. Is your hall narrow and long? Do not give up on creating a unique space due to lack of space, study your possibilities and give it another chance. A fantastic solution is to play with the wall decoration with a striking composition of paintings that occupies a large part of the surface. You will be able to highlight it even more if you paint the wall in a light tone, white or very soft gray that guarantees the prominence of the paintings.
If your entrance has little transit area, bet on furniture with very little depth, like this wood and iron bench. Some plants aligned with it are the ideal complement.
7- FACTORY-STYLE
The light source in the hall must be warm and discreet; an applique is the best
The industrial style is one of the trends in vogue for this fall; metallic finishes alternated with natural woods and modern typographic messages that will put a different note in any space. In this case, this trend has been chosen with a storage cabinet, bench and coat rack dominating the hall; in turn, a metal locker-type chest of drawers and a picture with a message complete the space wonderfully.
The finish and color of the walls and floor also influence the choice of style. The aged exposed brick and raw wood as a platform are the perfect allies for furniture with an industrial air. Everything comes from Maisons du Monde.
8- PLANTS, A PLUS OF STYLE
Hall decorated with plants
When choosing plants, look at the amount of natural light to choose the most suitable one. A small setback in the wall can be enough to create a reception area at home. The key is to create a simple decorative universe and highlight the importance of the composition. This corner, for example, only has a practical wooden console, but the tropical air achieved, thanks to the painting and the plants, makes it a refreshing and very attractive space.
Decorating with plants is an art that significantly improves the environment. If you opt for a large variety, place it next to the wall so as not to get in the way. As a complement, a pendant will be super decorative.
9- PLACE A MULTIPURPOSE PIECE OF FURNITURE
Hall with multipurpose furniture
Decorate the hall without giving up its functionality. As in this proposal from the Ikea firm. A wardrobe with sliding doors offers double utility: on the one hand, it is perfect for storing shoes, but if you add a mat and some colored cushions, it also becomes a bench.
10- TURN THE HALL INTO A THEMED SPACE
Hall decorated with plants
For example, in your green corner: it will be a breath of refreshing air. A few pots on a pretty stand, like this side table, and some botanical prints complete the props. Of course, make sure that the plants receive enough light, so that they are healthy.
11- HALLWAY WITH SHOE CABINET
Take off your shoes when you get home. What better place to hang up your coat and take off your shoes than at the entrance of the house? A shoe cabinet, like this one from Car Möbel, and a multiple coat rack take up minimal space and solve a lot.
12- CHOOSE UNIQUE PIECES
Hall decorated with singular pieces
Furniture with character brings personality to the house as soon as it crosses the threshold, as in this case. This hall is perfect with a chest of drawers with a slat front, a colorful painting and the original Zontik umbrella stand.
13- SOMETHING NEW, SOMETHING OLD
Eclectic entrance hall washable red round rug
The eclectic style is a trend, it takes the mixture and in this photo it is evident. Three elements fill a hall with life: an old wooden table, a modern plastic chair and a rug with an original design, like this one. The result, total luxury.
14- GOOD COMBINATION: PAINT AND PAPER
This solution adds a different touch to any room in the house. If your entrance is large, you can wallpaper one of the walls and paint the other walls, matching or contrasting, with the colors of the wallpaper. On the other hand, if it is a small hall, try just a wallpaper skirting…
15- A HALL WITH AN ENGLISH AIR
Cozy and very colorful, this entrance has been dressed in wood and wallpaper to wrap the space in warmth. Natural furniture and floral print are still in fashion. Grouped mirrors are also carried. In addition, a wink has been made to the “inside-outside”, with a garden chair.
16- GIVE A RUSTIC TOUCH TO YOUR HALL
Country style hallway with staircase
Four well-chosen things change the look of a post ungracefully. In this case, it has been furnished with a country-style bench, from Scumble Goosie, “sheltered” by blankets and cushions from Zara Home. To accentuate the rustic aesthetic, a jute rug, esparto basket and plants were added.
17- COLOR AND CAREFREE: SURE SUCCESS
Hallway with vibrant colors
What good energy transmits this entry! To this end, vibrant colors have been used: the yellow cabinet, the red sign, and the blue fan and mirror.
18- DON’T OVERCHARGE
Receiver with wooden shelf
You know the saying: less is more. Look at this corner that has been resolved with a long shelf, a mirror, a lamp and a couple of chandeliers.
19- WINDOW IN THE HALL
It is worth distributing the decoration around it so that the light and the landscape become the protagonists of the space. The white Enmmie curtains do not cover the jambs, they are from Leroy Merlin, like vinyl paper, the acrylic and washable rug, ideal for houses with country gardens.
20- WARM WELCOME
This yellow wall conveys the impression that we enter a warm house. The boots lead us to imagine family scenes, and under the bench, the basket with newspapers evokes peaceful afternoons of reading. Natural Yellow Painting looks beautiful.
21- CUSTOM COAT RACKS
Receiver with wooden plinth and hangers
In very humid areas, wet raincoats and jackets cannot be stored in a closet. It is convenient to hang them on a coat rack until they dry. These boxes, one for each member of the family, indicate the place that corresponds to each one. A fundamental factor is that the materials withstand humidity without spoiling.
22- GIVE ME THE COAT…
Do you usually organize meetings at home? An alternative to the famous pile of clothes that are stacked on your bed is to place a coat rack in the hall. Ideally, it should be a model that does not hinder the passage and has an attractive design to make it decorative. If you hang a basket with flowers, it will enrich the environment even without coats.
23- CARPENTRY, IN CONTRAST
The simplicity of a hallway can be offset by a bold use of color. These walls have been covered with a turquoise background paper. Starting from it, the entrance door has been painted in Nordic blue while its jambs, as well as the doors that lead to the rooms, have been covered in ivory.
The contrast is so attractive that a chair -in tune with the door-, a plate on the wall and a rug are enough to decorate the environment.
24- LEGACY PARTS
Hall with antique furniture
Consoles, desks, printing, furniture with multiple drawers… Antiques, or designs that evoke the furniture of yesteryear, give the hall a stately air. If they also have compartments, they will be perfect for classifying mail and storing keys.
Here, a framed print on the wall, a retro lamp above the cabinet, and a rug on the floor complete the look.
25- ART GALLERY
Hall with bench: paintings and photographs
A composition of photos and prints will achieve a personal atmosphere, which will say a lot about you and your tastes. There are various options.
Black and white images, with dark frames, will give a sophisticated air to the hall; the sepia, framed in natural wood, a nostalgic touch; and color images, unified with white frames, will add dynamism to the environment.
A bench can help fill in the space. On it, the blankets of the Lexington firm transmit a message: you have arrived at a safe place; come in, snuggle up and rest.
26- MIRROR ON THE WALL
Receiver with baseboard with moldings
In addition to being very useful to confirm your outfit before going out, it has a deep frame where you can place vases or candles.
The wall, decorated with a base of moldings, raises the decorative level of the hall, which is warm thanks to the wool mural and the texture of the Hübsch cushions, as well as the bench and the mirror, in 60 x 90 cm,
27- WAREHOUSE SPACE
Hall with boxes, baskets and coat rack
And what to do with the barrage of hats, scarves and gloves? One solution is to organize them in containers and keep them close at hand. That is what was done in this hall.
Boxes with wheels were placed under the coat rack, which make it easier to move when cleaning, and baskets. In the design with a lid, unattractive accessories are stored, such as folding umbrellas or children’s balls.
28- BICOLOR WALLS
Hall with two-tone walls
When the hall is a corridor, there are resources to avoid the tunnel effect. One of the most effective is to use a different lining in the first half of the hallway, to visually shorten it.
Here a skirting board was made in an Essene turquoise color under the Aura tone, broken white. A DIY shelf was placed opposite, made with fruit boxes decorated to match. Titanlux Candence paints, ecological, odorless and with the A+ certification for maximum indoor air quality.
29- IN SMALL SPACES
Any hall, even if it is tiny, can be gracefully decorated. Look at this image. If the wall appeared bare, no one would say that the house has a small hall.
The mirror includes a shelf of only 10 cm, ideal for leaving keys or mail on it, but narrow enough not to hinder the passage. A coat rack allows you to hang your bag when you get home.
30- DECORATE THE DOOR
The interior part of the hall is one more element of the decoration and therefore has its importance. Moldings, panels and a charming doorknob will make the hall have its character. This was also decorated with letters; elephant shaped bumper; trolley and racks.
