Use matte paint

The entrance hall is one of the dirtiest areas in the house. It's important to choose not only good flooring but also plan wall finishing. Matte paint has several advantages: the color is transmitted as accurately and deeply as possible, and it's easy to maintain. The surface doesn't reflect light. Additional life hack: if you want to visually expand the space, use light shades.

Combine mirror and wall console

Storage in the entrance hall can be a challenge — you need space for clothes and useful small items, but not to clutter the area with wardrobes. The solution is to mount a wall console directly with the mirror.

The look is interesting, while the furniture appears airy, cleaning becomes easier, and additional storage spaces are created.

Use lighting fixtures as a decorative accent

Natural light doesn't penetrate into the entrance hall, so the more light sources there are, the better the space will look. Use the fact that lighting fixtures can serve not only a functional but also a decorative purpose: for example, three wall sconces on one wall can become a beautiful accent.

Use decorative wall panels

Wall panels can be used to play with contrasts (e.g., light finishes and wood texture), but their application can also be more practical: if you need to mask a structural element of the building and decorate it in the color of the entrance hall, wall panels can help you achieve this.

Change the interior panel of the front door

Whether in new constructions or secondary housing, the door doesn't always blend well with the color palette of the entrance hall. A great solution is to replace the interior panel of the front door with a color you prefer, rather than replacing the entire door.
