3 Simple Ideas For an Inviting Hall

Your hall is the first room that visitors see, so it’s worth spending a little time getting it just right. Use these handy tips to make your hall the inviting, comforting space it can be.

1: Pick a warm and appealing colour scheme

Go for a modern tone such as a refreshing olive green to really make sure that your hall feels cosy and welcoming. Pair it with either a new carpet or some rugs to give it a carefully designed look.

2: Get the furniture right

It doesn’t take much to make a hall look crowded, so it’s well worth taking the time to pick the right pieces. A console table is ideal as a place to present a family photo, or if you have space, to create a little telephone nook.

3: Think about lighting

It may seem obvious, but there’s a lot you can do with lighting. Try switching from a ceiling lamp to wall mounted, designer light fittings for an extra dash of welcoming elegance. You could also place mirrors in strategic places to maximise the light from the door.
