Taking full advantage of your hallways

Architect LondonThere is a lot to say about the architecture of our capital. After all, you can find so much variety here it is unbelievable. Many of these buildings were built by skilful architects. Our firm just so happens to be the employer of some of the top choices for an architect London has. Therefore, if there is a project you need help with, we are the ones to talk to.

First impressions always count. Therefore, the hallway is most definitely one of the home’s most important areas. The trouble is that many people don’t give it that much thought. We are not saying it has to be a space you invest a huge amount in to decorate. It simply needs to make the correct statement. We are likely all guilty of making certain hallway decorating mistakes too. They won’t impress the guests. Fortunately, it is easy enough to avoid them.

Flooring

Firstly, there is the error of picking light colour flooring. Hallways are high foot traffic areas that can struggle with dirt. Even a ‘shoes off’ policy won’t change this. There are a few things you can try depending on how large the hallway is. Avoid light colour laminate or tiles and go for dark wood floors or patterned tiles. You can easily sweep them and it will be hard for them to show marks.

Great storage

You need to make certain the storage for your coats, shoes, and clutter is right as well. In addition to looking ugly, a pile of shoes is a trip hazard. See to it that there is sufficient storage for each inhabitant. There should also be some space set aside for your guests. For coats, add as many hooks as possible rather than letting everything pile up.
