Make a real feature of your hall or entrance which gives your guests a taste of what's in-store when they enter your home.
Use colour in entryways and hallways is to use it to create the illusion of larger spaces. Take note that most houses have small hallways and entryways unless we are talking about palaces and mansions. Anyway, the general rule is that the lighter the colours on the walls, the larger the area appears to be.
Thus, stay away from dark wall colours and décor especially when it comes to curtains and rugs. Pale-coloured curtains, rugs and runners make the area stretch since the hues recede from the eye. Think of pale blues, greens and yellows, all of which are the colours of the outdoors, thus, creating the illusion of space.
However, the far wall should ideally be a darker hue than the walls nearer the door. The entryway or hallway then appears to be wider than it really is. No need to get a new can of paint for this purpose as even a curtain will do the trick, not to mention that you can choose patterned curtains to add flair to the area.
Festive touches can be as simplistic or lavish as you wish. Decorate the stair banister with garlands, ribbon and bows – if you don't have a banister a simple garland draped over a mirror, or a piece of mistletoe are great ways to welcome guests!
