The entrance hall, without a doubt, is the main business card of a residence, because it is the environment where visitors have the first contact. For this reason, it is necessary to take great care and attention when designing and organizing the space, to ensure good harmony between the environments.
Besides, there is nothing better than coming home to an inviting, cozy, and beautiful corner that makes a great impression and provides a sense of well-being.
According to architect Renata Medeiros, the entrance hall is a preview of what's to come in the house, so it must follow the same style as the other rooms: "With the hall floor being the same as the interior, for example, it gives an idea of continuity, but when it's in an area isolated from the rest of the house, you can bet on a bolder decoration," she says.
Check out the incredible tips offered by the architect below to make your entrance perfect and create a composition that helps to reflect a bit of your style and personality. After all, this is the main function of the entrance hall: to welcome those who arrive!
1. ideal colors for an entrance hall
Renata explains that the entrance hall has the function of receiving guests, so it must impress and at the same time be receptive. "Give preference to neutral colors, because they go well with everything, are timeless, elegant, and please all tastes. Earth tones, which are warm, or wood, a natural element, provide a greater sense of comfort."
2. decorative items that make the entrance hall more attractive
As it is a place of passage, the entrance hall should be free of obstacles, allowing people to enter the space comfortably, without bumping into anything. To decorate the environment, invest in sideboards, design pieces, sculptures and paintings. For a more intimate and cozy look, prefer plants, books and magazines. The entrance door can also be a decorative element: bet onfriezes, differentiated colors, and in imposing handles.
"If the space is small, before investing in decorative elements, gather the family and welcome them, open the door, give kisses and hugs. Remember that, generally, people arrive together, so see if there is room for what you have in mind," advises Renata.
3. tricks for betting on small and large halls
To make small halls larger, the ideal is to use a mirror, crystal, or the bronze and smoked glass, which are on the rise. Large halls can seem cold and uninviting, so risk a place to accommodate bags and umbrellas, or even an armchair or two, in order to occupy the space in a more familiar style.
4. ideal lighting for an entrance hall
According to Renata, the lighting must be inviting, because the hall has the objective of awakening the desire to enter and feel at home.
In addition, it is good to pay attention to the type of lighting fixture and its location so that it does not dazzle the person who is arriving: "Indirect lights embedded in the plaster ceiling or in niches and openings in the wall are beautiful and make a good impression.
