Here we show you how to celebrate the versatility, visual buzz and beauty of a redecorated front hall

Your hall plays a crucial role in your home. This one features furnishings by Amara.

ENTRANCE halls and other circulation spaces — are they real rooms? As often narrow conduits, they can prove an area of real struggle in terms of decorating, storage and furnishings. Still, their role when you think about it is absolutely crucial. 

First of all the hall is the penultimate decompression area for you and yours — shedding that outdoor armoury and transitioning into our private, soft place to fall. Secondly, the front hall is the first place most of your visitors (and eventually a buyer) will venture through. It’s a place of first impressions aesthetically, while still having to shoulder and conceal heavy duty storage. Welcome in some simply changes to let your hall take everything that rocks up to the door in new season style.
