The hall is the busiest space in the house and the area where we spend the least time. However, it will be the first impression that the visitors you may receive of your home will be the first impression they will have.
From Kaleidoscope we recommend you use this area to give the first brushstrokes of decoration of what can later be found in the rest of your house and that will improve the general atmosphere of your home.
With a proper and well-kept entrance you will be able to give it that touch of its own personality and offer an elegant entrance to your guests.
It is true that the hall is the last room we decorate, out of laziness or because we do not take it into account. It may be the great forgotten one, but today we offer you some useful ideas so that your hallway offers you that feeling of peace when you arrive home from a long day and makes a wonderful first impression among those who visit you.
Space, that great crusade
It doesn’t matter if you have a small or large space, the important thing is to get a good style that highlights your final design.
If you have space, you can use a hallway to help you create more storage areas. You don’t need a large and striking piece of furniture, with something discreet and light tones you will offer a spacious and comfortable entrance. If the space is small, don’t worry, you can resort to benches or suspended shelves. 
The bench or a shoe cabinet will help you to store your shoes when you get home and you will have them already collected. This option helps a lot on rainy days.
If you can add some shelves, do so, as they will provide you with enough space to leave the things you take home with you: keys, bags, jackets…
Remember that if you use the bench option, opt for a light design, in the same color as the wall so that it unifies with the space without attracting too much visual attention and giving the feeling of spaciousness.
The color, better clear
At Kaleidoscope, you know that we are committed to light and white colors as a winning option.
And in this area too. White is our great ally because it helps us to enhance the light and even more so if it is a space without much natural light. If we opt for white we can add color with the decoration and we do not break the harmony of this environment.
Lighting is important and we don’t always have what we need, so it must be soft: we want to reflect peace and that feeling of calm and tranquility when you arrive at your home: “finally, home!”.
You don’t need large lamps or many spotlights, a lamp that accompanies the furniture, some candles or a point of light on a painting or mirror is enough.
Mirror, whenever possible
It is true that with mirrors you have to be careful where you place them, but in the hallway it is the ideal place. It has several functions at the entrance of the home:
– Before leaving home you can check yourself and put the finishing touches on.
– It enlarges the space and visually appears larger.
– Increase the light and improve that scarce light if you have that inconvenience.
If you have children
If you have children, we already know that order is an essential basic, so the hallway is the ideal element to help you in that organization.
As soon as they enter, they must find elements (shelves, coat racks, shoe racks…) that invite them to hang and store their “junk” so that they are not messy as soon as they enter the house.
Put your personal touch
Whether you can put furniture, bench or simple shelves, that personal touch can only be given by you. For this reason, these details and accessories will be what will give character to the entrance. Details that are subtle and soft colors so as not to overload.
Natural materials or natural fibers are a great complement and offer warmth.
You can also bet on a family photograph or a painting with meaning.
These are some of the tips that Kaleidoscope wants to share with you to make your hallway a relevant space within your home.
We should not underestimate this corner, as it will be the one that says goodbye to you every morning and welcomes you after a long day.
