Entrance halls are typically bereft of detail and points of interest so look out for items that can really spice up the room, such as an eye-catching mirror, unusual light or bespoke vanity table. You can also create a gallery wall with a selection of framed photos and sketches, but make sure all the frames and the same or similar style and the background colour of the wall is light. Staircases are features themselves so make the most of them by revamping bannisters for example. For the actual stairs, stripes work well if you are considering laying a carpet runner up the steps, but ensure there is an underlay to soften the noise of people running up and down the stairs. Adding lights up the stairs can dramatically enhance the illusion of space. If your hallway is in need of an overhaul and you require bespoke storage solutions then Fitted Furniture London Barbara Genda can offer the perfect solution.
