Entryways, hallways, and stairwell landings are often the last place people think about applying design. These spaces in your home can actually offer unique opportunities to cozy things up and add a pop of pizazz. Here are a few tips to make sure you are making the most of these forgotten spaces.
Unexpected Seating Area
Many walkways can accommodate a quaint place to sit, take off your shoes, rest after a quick run up the stairs, or find some privacy to read a book. A small accent chair with a chic round table looks warm and functional. Add a lamp and a small picture frame or two for a more personal touch.
Bold and Stunning
Try pairing large, oversized art with a table that fits the space. It always sets a chic tone. Investing in the perfect statement piece pulls together a dramatic entryway or hallway that leaves a lasting impression. A sofa table can easily serve as a display and would look great with an oversized painting hanging above it. Try to find a thin and stylish table that allows a painting to the be star of the walkway.
Play with Textures
You can create an interesting impression of the décor throughout your home with a mix of textures scattered around your walkways. Consider a dramatic faux fur rug paired with an understated table. If your rug makes enough of a statement, consider a smaller table and maybe add an interesting lamp.
A Long Walk
If you have a spacious walkway, consider a full treatment of design. Go bold with your lighting, make your art pop, and add multiple pieces of furniture. A large walkway can shine with a seating area for two using understated accents chairs and a small table. If the space you are working with seems oversized, be sure to make it feel cozy with lamps, rugs, and personal touches.
