Welcome Home

Nothing says welcome home than your hallway.

This is the first impression of your home.  It sets the scene and gives a hint to your style and personality. Regardless of the size of your hall you want to make sure it looks good and you are making an entrance. 

Hide the clutter

Many UK homes have small and often quite dark hallways.  Add to this the clutter we put there - coats, shoes, bags and so on - that small, dark space will look even smaller.  If you can't make strict rules about coats and shoes being taken straight to the bedroom then your next option is look at clever storage.  You can find these even for smallest of spaces.  Rule number 1 - hide that clutter.

Keep it practical

Now a cream carpet or rug is never going to be a good idea in the hall.  It is one of the busiest places in any home - the one that gets plenty of footgall which inlcudes muddy shoes and possibly wet paws.  You need flooring that is practical and hard-wearing.  However, that's not say you shouldn't be able to add warmth and texture with a hall runner.

Here at www.frithrugs.co.uk we have hundreds of hall runners to choose from.  Runners that come in various sizes, patterns, colours and designs.  We even have an exclusive runner that goes around corners.  Take a look at our hall runners for yourself at https://frithrugs.co.uk/products/

You are sure to find something to suit all house styles whether period or modern.  If you have pets and kids, we advise using a patterned runner that will hide any marks and scuffs.

Lighting

In a dark hallway without natural light opt for LED lighting as that mimics daylight.  If you want to create ambiance in a hall, a standard lamp is ideal.  You can turn it on in the evening so that the hallway is always nicely lit.  

One more thing, when you open your front door, chances are your own 'house' smell will be immediately apparent.  What do you want yours to be - last's night supper or something natural and fresh?  Dried lavender stems or a few drops of lavender in a bowl are ideal for that clean house smell.
