The entrance area is intended for multifunctional purposes: it gives you a feeling of sweet freedom when you return home from a hard day at work. This is where you can store small items such as keys, mail and dog leashes. In the hallway, you do your “Did I forget something?” ritual before heading to the door. Oh yes, and the hallway is the only room that is seen by absolutely every guest, no matter how far you let them in. Your entryway, no matter how large it is, should be practical and beautiful. It should give an insight into what is going on in the rest of the rooms. The chest of drawers in the hallway plays a particularly important role. Not only is it a practical place to store your mail and small necessities like gloves, but it is also a visual element and can have a strong visual impact on the hallway. That's why we've put together a few nice decoration ideas for you.
The chest of drawers in the hallway gives the first impression of the home
Add a mirror
Mirrors are suitableexcellent for small spaces. They reflect the incident light and make a narrow hallway appear larger. It is best to place it so that it reflects an opposite light source or, even better, a window. The trick also works with candles or a table lamp.
Table lamps and candles
If you want to decorate a chest of drawers in the hallway, it is best to group items of different heights together. To add height to your decoration, you can place a vase, a table lamp, or a group of different sized candlesticks.
Bring the outdoors in
A bit of nature should not be missing in your hallway. Place a terrarium with succulents and cacti, a flower pot with orchids, or a large vase with fresh cut flowers on the dresser. Choose plants that thrive on low light. Nothing refreshes a room like a beautiful bouquet of flowers. The scent of flowers and the color of the flowers are guaranteed to create an inviting atmosphere. Flowering branches in tall vases also make a great eye-catcher.
One or two trays as storage for practic (and beautiful) things
As already mentioned, your hallway can be both practical and beautiful. Arrange a tray or two on the hallway dresser to store everyday items such as headphones, sunglasses, keys and mail, as well as some decorative items (if you have space). This could also help keep the mess to a minimum.
Art or family photos
If you thought your walls were the only place you could display your art collection, think again. Select some of your favorite decorative objects to decorate your entryway invitingly and set the tone for the rest of your home. When decorating, make sure you don't put everything in the middle or on one side of the dresser. When arranging, you need to achieve visual balance.
Books
The shelf orYour coffee table isn't the only place, where you can show off your beloved book collection. Your favorite books can be displayed on the dresser. Choose book covers that appeal to you and that also fit well with the overall concept in terms of color.
