Sara’s tips on how to make an entrance

Entrance Challenges

Selecting flooring for the entrance hall is challenging. You want a great first impression while ensuring the flooring is robust and hard-wearing due to high traffic.

Setting the Tone

This area sets the tone for your home. For a warm look, consider engineered timber in layouts like wide plank or herringbone. For an active lifestyle, hard-wearing options like laminate, vinyl, or tile are ideal.

Adding Colour

To incorporate color, choose a neutral base floor and add a durable runner rug. Indoor-outdoor rugs are great choices, as they can be easily cleaned and are perfect for this space.

Importance of Storage

When planning your entrance hall, allow for storage to prevent clutter from accumulating in this transitional space.

Bold Design Choices

As a less-used area, the entrance hall can feature bolder colours or patterns. Consider adding texture with wallpaper or paneling, and use mirrors and lighting to brighten dark spaces.

Focal Points

To transform your hallway, upgrade lighting after your flooring. Creating a focal point, such as a console table with lamps and a feature mirror, combines practicality with elegant design.
