1 INJECT COLOUR AND PATTERN
Rooms such as hallways are often left behind when it comes to planning impactful designs. However, they can be the perfect place to experiment with bold colour and pattern.
An entryway is one of the main rooms in the home that connects us to the outside, so enhancing this relationship and using green shades in the space can create a unique, indoor-outdoor effect, bringing in the beauty of nature's palette.
As shown here, the patterned green wallpaper is complemented by the green chair, with rustic natural materials such as the stone flooring and beautiful wooden console table elevating the connection with nature even further.
2 SELECT SMART STORAGE
An entryway is often a home for shoes, coats, bags and many other everyday objects, so planning practical storage solutions will help to make the space feel more calm and organised.
