How to create a welcoming hallway
The hallway is often the first thing someone sees when they enter your home. Here’s what you can do to make the space as inviting as possible.
1. Welcome mats
Not just welcoming, a doormat also has practical benefits as it can prevent muddy footprints on your flooring.
2. Shoe and coat storage
Adding some shoe storage, a coat rack or hooks and an umbrella stand can keep your hallway free of clutter.
3. Hallway bench seat
Add somewhere to sit while you put your shoes on, as well as somewhere to keep stuff stashed away.
4. Hallway storage
Add a console table or cabinet to give you room to keep any letters or other important items safe.
5. Hallway runners
Want to create a great first impression? Pick a runner that's as fab as functional.
6. Hallway mirror
Give your appearance one last check before you leave the house… not that you need it.
