As you know, the first impression is really important and this is true both for people and when it comes to properties. The entrance hall tells a lot about you, your style and your character, more than you may think. This is why you should organise it well.
Your luxury villa deserves to make a good first impression and we are here to give you some advice on how to personalise the entrance hall of your house.
Each house is different and so are the entrance halls. Dimension, space layout and light are all important elements to define the character of the entrance. However, the first rule to keep in mind is that aesthetic is essential, but only if well blended with functionality: a well-lit, comfortable room that allows you to store and organize objects is just as important as the style and design details that characterise it.
Whether it is a narrow hallway or a very large room to welcome you into the house, the way you organise the walls can make the difference when it comes to customising the entrance to the house. An element you won’t leave out is the mirror: the reflective elements allow to give depth to narrow spaces and to enhance the light points. Just remember that they should never be placed in front of the door, while they are perfect on one of the side walls.
Another way to personalise the entrance walls is to use paintings, photos or prints. Green light to personal taste, but we suggest you study the arrangement of the elements first, to make sure the final result has balance and harmony. Pay attention to not choosing too aggressive images or very bright colours, unless the shock effect is exactly what you are aiming for!
Speaking of colours, if you are thinking about how to take advantage of the entrance hall with a touch of paint, remember to choose shades in harmony with the floors, furnishings and the rest of the home. And if you want to know something more about paintings, here we tackle the topic of how to paint the walls of the house.
This is an essential choice for any type of room and especially for the entrance, precisely because it represents the first contact with your home. We suggest you avoid dim lamps and blinding spotlights: always choose a temperature and intensity that match the type of space and the colours of the environment. From a design point of view, you are spoilt for choice: pendant lamps or wall spotlights, but also floor or countertop lamps. The décor lighting solutions are original and personal and this will allow you to enhance the entrance in a unique way right at first glance.
And if your house front Lago Maggiore has a window at the entrance, with a postcard view of the garden or the lakefront, you just have to enjoy the luxury of natural light during the day.
If you want to take full advantage of your entrance hall, another useful tip is choosing the right furnishings. Your choice spans from minimalist solutions for the narrow entrances - in this case we would choose a sideboard with mirror and a coat stand - to more structured combinations for bigger rooms.
In a really functional entrance hall, for example, console tables, settles or other storage elements can’t be missed out, since they allow you to organise the space and objects. If there is enough space, a small armchair or a design chair will add comfort and colour to the entrance, while also serving as a holder for coats and bags. Last, but not least, creating little wall niches or low partition walls will give your entrance a dynamic and harmonic shape.
Putting a plant in your entrance hall is the ideal way to ensure a welcoming and personal environment. You can choose ferns for example, since they create volume with their lively fronds and are very easy to care for. Or a small evergreen tree like the ficus or the dracena, better known as the Chinese money tree.
Place them on the ground, choosing vases that match perfectly with the colours and furnishings, or use shelves. Another solution of great impact, but only if space and lighting allow it, is the installation of a vertical wall garden, which will make your entrance truly unforgettable.
With these little tips and tricks on how to enhance the entrance of your home, you are now ready to transform and customise your villa Lago Maggiore.
