Making an entrance with a mood that reflects what you want to feel when you come home and welcomes your guests can be simple to curate with five factors :

1. Flooring

With our Aventuras Tile Collection created in collaboration with @capietra pietra.com/shop-all/featured/aventuras-collection-zoe-glencrossour Malla and Ziggy Border tiles make a practical, timeless statement. In tonal colours and a small scale, geometric pattern these tiles can hide the dirt and will wash well.

Our rugs created with @coralandhive can be a lovely way to layer up some pattern and colour in your hallway, adding character and soul.

2. Fabric

Adding a single front door curtain to keep out the drafts and cosy up the space means choosing a practical, patterned fabric that combines well with your flooring and sets the tone. You might just be adding a seat pad or cushions to a hallway bench, for a practical, welcoming addition.

3. Lighting

Add a printed linen drum shade for a hall table lamp to pull your scheme together.

Add a ceiling light which works well with the style of your property and keeping it simple will make it timeless. Ceiling lights featured here - Lantern by @soholighting and Neutral Lighting.

4. Colour

Wall colour really set’s the tone. If you have lots of sunlight in your hallway opting for cooler blues, neutrals or soft greens will keep the mood fresh and clean. Try Blackened by Farrow & Ball.

With or without sunlight a warm terracotta or soft pink tone will really bring some soul and the warmest of welcomes. We love Nether Red or Masquerade by Little Greene.

5. Flowers

Keeping fresh flowers in the hallway creates a lovely welcome.
