FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) December 2, 2011 -- Interior design : The hallway sets the tone of the house and to be considered as a space in its own right. The hallway would soothe the quests after their hellish journeys, hence the traditional cool restraint of black and white floor tiles. Yet there is always a case to be made for a bold, dramatic welcome. The entrance hall is where you can stamp your personality or reflect the history of the house with a flourish. It is a well-used room, people would walk through this throughout the whole day, but nobody spends much time there, so you can afford to be daring.

The most important thing to decide is, where the point of impact should be. Either you should make a statement with strong color in a contained area, or perhaps use a lacquer finish for something more textured. Place mirrors along one wall to widen the space. A mirrored wall with a mounted half lantern or wall light, with a vibrant color on the facing wall, adds richness and light as well as a sense of space. While decorating an entrance hall, you should remember that it has other rooms leading off it, so you need a color that will go with many others.

In a narrow hall, you will need a console table or a ledge, as you have to have somewhere to put your letters. These type of tables can make a dramatic statement as well as being practical. One fundamental rule is that you should always try to keep the entrance hall as clear as possible. Try to find a cupboard or somewhere to hang your guests' coats which is not immediately by the front door, as that can look a complete mess. Try to have a coat cupboard, since you can hide all manner of sins behind the closed doors. But if you prefer hooks, look out for beautiful Victorian brass or china hooks at antique fairs and mount them on a board on the wall. The other advantage to having a cupboard is that it relieves your own hanging space. You can store all your heavy coats there and it makes the process of leaving and arriving home much quicker.

If your entrance hall follows straight into your living space, you should create some sort of junction between the two, such as placing a bookcase between the two to divide the areas. It helps generate a sense of arrival, instead of just passing through on your way to somewhere else. Always think about flooring. If you have wooden floors or carpeting, a doormat at the entrance not only helps distinguish the space, but it also helps preserve the floor or carpet underneath. You should change your doormat every two to three years, which in itself shows you how much wear your floors get and how necessary a doormat is.

Suitable lighting is also crucial in an entrance hall. Made your lighting on two levels, as this makes for a more adaptable space. A picture or wall light gives more glamorous light when guests leave in the evening, while a ceiling light provides more concentrated light for the daytime. Think of your hall as a separate space from the staircase and light it from above rather than below.
