A Welcoming Entrance

We are entering a new year and I will begin it talking about the entrance. I have a new project in which I have to create an entryway for a customer. It is great starting 2013 with a new project! Let's get some inspiration:



When you arrive home, the entry of your house or apartment is the first room you see. It should provide a good feeling. After all, what is better then arriving home and step on a harmonic ambience that makes you forget the troubles and difficulties of the day-life, reminding you that this is home, a peaceful and comfortable place? 




The entrance sets the tone for the whole house and it is the first impression guests will get of your home. Therefore it is important to create a welcoming ambience.





You can use a nice sideboard or commode to keep keys, correspondence, shoes etc. 




However, avoid clutter at the entrance. A front entry way that is cluttered and blocked may signify that the occupant is feeling restricted. This is Feng Shui. Clearing the hallway may allow the occupant to become unblocked emotionally.

I love the hallway above. Although there is a grand entrance space, the designer preferred to keep it simple, placing only few pieces of furniture and some pictures. It is clear and open. Beautiful!
