Consider the entrance hall your opportunity to sweep guests off their feet. There’s no shortage of entryway ideas; whether visitors are welcomed into a soaring space crowned with a sparkling chandelier, or a cozy foyer with warm wood floors and a bouquet of blooms, the entryway sets the tone for the rest of your home. This transitory spot is the perfect place to showcase a sleek console table and statement mirror, a bold painting or sculpture, or an ornately tiled floor with a vibrant color palette.
If you’re looking for entryway decor ideas, why not take a cue from some of the most stunning entrances featured in the AD archives to ensure that the foyer of your home is as spectacular as the rooms that follow? You know what they say: You rarely get a second chance to make a good first impression.

Create an Art Gallery
At Obercreek, the Hudson River Valley farm of investor Alex Reese and his wife, architect Alison Spear, the stone-floored entrance hall is lined with family portraits, hung frame to frame on the pale gray walls. Heirloom Windsor chairs flank the front door, and the 19th-century settees are upholstered in a flame stitch by Scalamandré.

Simplify Your Color Palette

Embrace Multipurpose
A custom-made table anchors a New York City apartment entrance hall that decorator Vicente Wolf conceived as a mini-gallery, with works by Richard Prince, Brice Marden, Eric Fischl, and Thomas Houseago. The large space could easily house a splendid cocktail party, since the long table could serve as a bar, if necessary.

Honor Your Heritage
Placing family heirlooms front and center in a home can serve as an immediate conversation starter with guests. The 13th-century entrance hall inside this Irish castle was remodeled in the 1830s after a fire; the 17th-century Brussels tapestries came into the family in 1935.

Bring in Nature
Even in a New York City apartment, Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent manage to create a home that feels connected to nature. Earth toned flooring, artwork, and furniture—French limestone floor, a Matt Connors painting, and a 19th-century French pedestal table specifically—create a sharp contrast from the grittiness of the city the moment they step through the door.

Hang A Mirror

Try A Floating Shelf
A floating shelf has a lot to offer: it takes up a smaller footprint, allows for more storage space on the ground than a console table would, and adds some serious visual appeal, too. In the entrance hall of Jimmie Johnson's home in New York City, a FontanaArte mirror hangs over a Wendell Castle shelf.

Mix Styles and Periods
In the entrance hall of this New York apartment by Steven Gambrel, a late-19th-century mirror from O’Sullivan Antiques is mounted above a circa-1920 Art Deco console from Florian Papp and a pair of vintage Axel Einar Hjorth stools from H.

Go Full Farmhouse
Especially if your entryway serves as a quasi-mud room, a farmhouse entryway is the way to go. The traditional style is celebrated for its laidback charm and utilitarian approach, and these are exactly the traits that make it a wonderful fit for an entryway, as seen inside this Karin Blake space.

Embrace Petiteness
Even in a small entryway, you can still have plenty of fun.

Add Open Shelves
Entryway storage is of the utmost importance. Whether you need more space to store odds and ends, or you just want more room for displaying your favorite knick knacks, open shelving is a perfect way to do so without minimizing visual interest in a space by closing things off. This modernist home’s Charlotte Perriand wall cabinet is particularly stylish.

Make It Tented
Tenting a room always adds to the fun, and this Miles Redd-designed tented vestibule is no exception. The space feels almost feels fantastical, with a curtain-like console table mounted at left.

Go Unconventional
Depending on the fixture, overhead lighting can create a less than welcoming vibe in a space. Adding a table lamp offers a cozier light source and with the right lamp selection, a lovely decor object even when the lamp isn’t switched on. In antiques dealer and interior designer Jean-Paul Beaujard’s own home, a mirrored lamp does just that.

Add Stools
In this Aspen ski home designed by Alexandra and Michael Misczynski of the Los Angeles–based design firm Atelier AM, stools add a place to comfortably take off clunky ski boots in the entryway. If storage space is limited in your entryway, opt for stools with hidden storage to covertly stow tote bags, scarves, and the like.

Bring on the Books
Oftentimes the best design ideas are the simplest. Built-in shelving and loads of books can add a colorful, homey energy to an entryway. Just take the Kate Lester-designed home of Abby Wambach and Glennon Doyle for example. To balance the space, a gallery wall appears at right.

Read More74 hallway ideas to make a great first impression | House & Garden
“It is easy to forget that an entrance hall is a room,” says decorating maestro Rita Konig. “It often receives corridor status, but it is, in fact, an important space. As the place for arrivals and departures, it sets the tone for the rest of the house, so it needs to be welcoming.” For this reason, pay as much attention to the stuff in a hallway as you would in any other room, and don’t use it as dumping ground for furniture or art that has no home elsewhere.
Just because you’re moving through a space regularly to get to another room where you might spend longer, that doesn’t make it less important – if anything, it makes it more important. The hallway is nearly always the part of a house that you and your guests will encounter first, so make sure it leaves an impression, perhaps by hanging a statement piece of art in it or by introducing an unusual colour.
Hallway ideas: decoration
Since hallways, especially in city houses, tend to be narrow, the walls are an important feature. Opt for a warm paint colour, some elegant wall panelling, or a patterned wallpaper to lend the space character. Also consider adding wall lights, for a gentler glow than an overhead light. This is a great place to display art. We’ve seen some brilliant examples of statement pieces taking up practically an entire wall, but gallery walls are also a great option in a hallway, perhaps displaying a collection of photographs or botanical prints.
“Traffic is a consideration when you are decorating,” notes Rita. “The floor, for example, has to be practical while remaining in keeping with the style of the house.” We love a flagstone hallway, or the traditional tiles you can still find in Victorian houses, but sisal or jute can also be a great, hardwearing option for this space.
Don’t forget to take into account the other rooms you can see from a hallway – if you have easy views into lots of rooms or one particular room, try to keep the colours of the walls tonal, and think about positioning hallway mirrors to allow unexpected glimpses throughout the house. Pocket or sliding doors can also work well for the rooms that lead off a hallway, especially if it is a dark or narrow space, allowing the doors to be open most of the time, letting light flood in.
Hallway ideas: furniture
“The furniture here should be good,” continues Rita. If you have enough space, consider a hall table, either a console table that can provide a space for keys, post, along with flowers, lamps and decorative objects, or something a bit grander to go in the centre of the hallway if you have a larger space. “The hall table can be quite magnificent – just as it is in many of Robert Kime’s projects, and in William Yeoward and Colin Orchard’s house in Gloucestershire.” A bench or pair of chairs can also be a great feature, allowing people to perch and take off their shoes, or providing a place to wait as you prepare to leave the house.
Hallway ideas: storage
Finally, hallway storage is absolutely key if you want to maintain tidiness. Hallways are always prone to get cluttered up with shoes, bags, umbrellas, coats and other paraphernalia. A bench with storage built in underneath can be a great option, while wall-mounted storage or a simple row of hooks can work well in super small spaces. If you have a bit more room, a coat rack, wardrobe or built-in joinery can look rather distinguished.
108 photos (real) and 5 Ideas
Many people pay too much attention to the design of the hallway, forgetting that every room in the apartment should be functional, and the appearance of the interior is far from the first place. Let's take a quick look at design theory, then see real photos of functional hallways.
- 5 apartment hallway design ideas0007
- Entrance hall in a modern style: photos of errors is NOT built on finishing. There are almost no free walls, so the main thing is how you design the furniture.
- Modern hallway design can only be maintained with built-in furniture. Details about the layout rules with a bunch of diagrams and photos: Entrance hall for a narrow corridor. nine0011
- the number of items in the hallway rolls over, repairs will never be too simple. It is important not to overdo it, so we take minimalism as a basis.
- We strictly limit the number of colors to 3 (white, black/grey, wood). Why? We consider: the inner lining of the front door, the door trim, rug, floor, wardrobe, clothes in it, shoes, walls, switches, intercom, ceiling. All this has its own colors, moreover, the rug is either gray or black, the ceiling and the intercom are white, the floor is often wood-like - i.e. these colors are always there. If you add bright colors to the design of the hallway, you will get porridge. About the color in the interior. nine0011
- If you want a modern, beautiful entryway with a twist, invest in a built-in wardrobe and hidden LED lighting (see photo).
- Soft decorative plaster in a practical color (gray, black, sand).
- Decorative brick (required for the entire wall, no corners, it's 2021 outside!).
- Paintable wallpaper in the same soothing colour, without the aggressive pattern.
- Simply painted walls in white, light grey, or another very pale color (no dark paint colors!).
- Height mirror
- At least 2 open hangers
- Place to sit down
- Open space for shoes, of course 1 , drawers and other things, this could further improve the functionality of the room, but 4 things above should be in any hallway. Pictured below is the perfect hallway cabinet:
And right away with an example. The best photos of the interior design:
Let's start with the finishes of T. K. it is done at the first stage of repairing the hallway, but already on it you need to imagine how the furniture will be located. Often the finishing of most of the walls is limited to a primer. will still be covered by cabinets. nine0003
Hallway wall decoration
There is a golden rule: a lot of space - a lot of design, little space - fuck design , think about functionality. Therefore, we will break the story about the decoration in the hallway into 2 points.
Small hallway design
When the size of the hallway is small, you don't need to think about how to make it beautiful. You need to think about how to make it functional and neat. This means that wall decoration should be limited to the choice of strictly one material in a neutral color. Wall decoration options in the hallway:
For the walls in the hallway, we put decorative plaster first because it is the most practical material. In a small hallway, you will constantly rub against the walls with outerwear, bring and take away some items, no, no, and touch the wall with shoes or something dirty from the street. And it is decorative plaster that is not afraid of all this: it is durable, it can be washed, because of the texture, small spots are not visible on it. Decorative brick has the same advantages, it shares the first place with plaster. nine0003
The main criterion for choosing a wall material for a small hallway is practicality.
In second place is wallpaper for painting, and not just paint, although the wallpaper looks worse. But we now know that practicality is more important than appearance. And paint is one of the most impractical materials for wall decoration. Just do not use wallpaper with drawings and patterns - this is the last century, maximum light texture.
In last place is the paint, although it looks modern and stylish, but not very practical. In fact, the paint on the walls does not like it at all when someone or something touches it, and in a small hallway this will happen all the time. The most impractical black and any dark paint. There is a so-called “writing effect”, when any touch to dark paint leaves traces on it (like on velor). Moreover, the paint is applied over light primer and putty, so any chip on dark paint exposes white primer, which will be striking in contrast. nine0003
Conclusion: in a small hallway, just choose 1 material and 1 color and decorate all visible parts of the walls with it. If your hallway is very small, read my material about the design of a small hallway, there are many tricky ideas.
Also study the question of how to make the floor in the hallway and the ceiling in the hallway (the beginning of the article is sarcasm, painful).
Modern hallway design
If you have a large apartment and as a result a large entrance hall, or if you just made a redevelopment and added it to the room, then the situation is already changing. nine0003
When the space allows, you can really think about several finishing materials, but observing the criterion for choosing zones: we finish places where there is a possibility of contact with walls with the most practical material (in descending order of practicality, decorative plaster -> wallpaper -> paint), the rest of the walls are already in depending on the chosen design style.
It is important to understand that even on a large area, the hallway remains more of a technical room. No need to try to implement all design ideas here , picked up on the Internet. In some places, mediocrity even write, they say, you need to make a fancy entrance hall in order to surprise guests and cause a wow effect. What kind of guests, I wonder, couriers? Everyone else will obviously go further into the apartment and see the rest of the rooms. And in general, the desire to surprise someone or make it “expensive” usually ends sadly. You need to do it stylishly, tastefully and as simply as possible.
The design of an entrance hall in an apartment is, first of all, the ability to balance the full implementation of its technical functions, and secondly, try to make its interior stylish. The main thing is not to overdo it with the second. nine0003
Furniture layout
4 must-have items that every hallway should have:
Note that there is no wardrobe among the 4 items. Only the lazy did not write about him, but the truth is that sliding wardrobes have long been out of fashion. They stayed somewhere in the 2000s. In most interiors of modern hallways, they will look like an artifact from the past. If you still want to use a wardrobe in your hallway, then at least do not make it ordinary. Do not use chipboard under a tree, this is what is most often chosen, and it has already become boring. Use chipboard with no texture at all, e.g. white:
Going out of the apartment, you always want to take a quick look at yourself and make sure that this skirt is not full or the fly is buttoned up (whatever). That is why the mirror in the hallway should be full-length.
A pair of open hangers is used to store everyday outerwear, which most people don't have much of. Climbing into the closet for everyday clothes is not always convenient, secondly, outerwear can be wet, and hanging wet clothes in a closed closet is a bad idea. Things of guests are also more convenient not to hide far away. nine0003
A place to put on shoes while sitting should also be mandatory. Firstly, it’s stupidly more convenient, no matter how acrobats you are, and secondly, in trying to put on shoes while standing, either you or, rest assured, your guests will definitely lean on the wall and get it dirty, and you will hate them. I think there is no need to explain about the open place for shoes either. Shoes can be wet and dirty, dragging them around the apartment is not a good idea, the closer to the entrance there is a place in the hallway, the better. Well, as you already understood from the photo, the last two points in reality complement each other. Open bench with space for shoes underneath. We also sell ready made shoes. nine0003
Vertical zoning of furniture allows you to fit all things in a minimal area. Previously, only mezzanines were used from this, although even now the mezzanine can be quite competently entered into the design of the hallway in the apartment: . nine0003
The interior of the entrance hall in the apartment
The entrance hall in a modern style: photos of errors
Let's start with the mistakes made when designing the interior of the entrance hall. This is usually the most informative part. First, there will be a real photo, and already under it is a description of the error.
Isn't this mirror too small? Although okay, figs with him with the size, but why is it so high ?! Apparently the owners are practicing warm-up by jumping before going outside. We make the mirror larger and lower it lower. nine0003
The design of the cabinet is not bad, but it needs to be reflected horizontally. Make the closed high part further, and move the bench to the very entrance. Otherwise, the entrance is corny cramped. And if several guests come, how will they fit into such a narrow space? That's it. Well, they forgot the mirror, as in most of the photos in this article.
There is a place, but there is no mirror - a mess. Nothing prevented hanging a full-length mirror to the right of the door or removing a couple of coat hooks. nine0003
Well, our favorite hallway, no comments.

The apartment starts from the entrance hall. I wanted to create an impression of the concept of housing already at the entrance. The layout from the developer implied a doorway to the bedroom opposite the entrance to the apartment. Through redevelopment, we closed the opening to the bedroom from the hallway and created a beautiful composition in front of the front door. The mirror and sideboard from the Italian factory Sovet are a mirror composition enclosed in an aluminum frame. Like an abstract painting, they captivate from the doorway. The lack of natural light in this room was solved due to reflective surfaces and the same texture of wall and floor materials. This helped to visually enlarge the space and make the hallway brighter. The door to the living room is transparent from the hallway, completely transmits light, but has a mirror reflection from the living room. The choice of porcelain stoneware for flooring in the hallway and living room is not accidental.
