Decorating Transit Areas
When decorating a house we usually concentrate our efforts on
rooms like the living room, the kitchen or bedrooms. These are
indeed the rooms where we spend most of our time and they do
deserve our attention.
Nonetheless, decorating the areas of transit of the house
(entrance halls, stairways, and corridors) will add a lot of
character to a home decor. Tasteful decorations in these areas
facilitate the transition from one room atmosphere to another
room style and liven-up your spirit!
Entrance halls
Even if we do not spend much time in this room, the entrance
hall is one of the key areas of the house: the place where we
come into and exit the house, the area where we greet and
welcome friends and visiting family members.
Creating a warm and welcoming decor should therefore be the main
objective when arranging an entrance hall. Do you feel at home
as soon as you enter your house? Do your visitors feel welcome?
Uncluttered space enhances the feelings of calm and breaks the
hustle and bustle of urban life. Beginning to feel more relaxed?
You are home!
Warm colors will invite your guests to come in, and represent
the joy you have in welcoming them. Also, style the area with a
few chosen accents which reveal your tastes and personality. It
is your home indeed!
Stairways
Stairways are another key transit area in your house. Though for
many years stairways were considered only in purely practical
terms, contemporary home decorating trends offer a
variety of
options to choose from.
Go beyond simple functionalism, use colors, works of art,
plants. The bottom of the stairs and their halfway point are
perfect to display a painting or sculpture, if you have more
space. Or stage your favorite family picture along the walls
coming up to the first floor.
Corridors
Corridors are often neglected when decorating a house. True, we
do not spend much time in these areas, mostly just passing
through, going from one room to another room. But how many times
per day do we go through those passageways?
Keeping in mind that their main purpose is to connect the
different parts of the interior of the house, do not create
obstacles with too much furniture. Display works of art and
sculptures, and arrange design accents on small shelves or
consoles. Most importantly, use sconces to light up the walls,
there is nothing more depressing than gloomy corridors!
You feel that some of your rooms are too cluttered? Try to take
out some furniture and place it in the corridors. Choose long
tables or consoles and give them a new life with runners,
pictures or ceramic vessels. Voila!
