Entrance Hall Decor Ideas
Hi Everyone,
Looking for some advice on our decor ideas for our Entrance Hall, my wife likes the idea of a deep blue which I also like but I'm just a bit scared of dark paint! I've attached a couple of visuals I put together in photoshop (dark blue & a lighter option).
The newly fitted kitchen on the right will be dark blue. We like the mix of oak, grey metal and blue!
The wall halfway upstairs we were thinking a nice grey grasscloth wallpaper as we don't want the dark blue continuing upstairs.
All advice/opinions greatly appreciated!
Thanks

What is a good furniture layout for this awkward open living room?
Comments (2)Hello Cody, If the TV isn't going on the mantle wall than the only other available wall is the 13'5" wall. You might think about moving the TV to this wall and balancing it with art or plants. Your sofa can be turned with its back to the entrance/stairs and a small console table can be placed behind it to act as a visual stop. Your chair can be placed where the sofa currently sits or you could add a pair of new chairs to this area near the stair alcove which would create a smaller seating cluster there. Small benches could be placed in front of the fire for additional seating, when and if necessary. This one is a challenge, but if you don't mind the TV as focal point and the sofa perpendicular to the fireplace, this could work. Best of luck with your decorating and please let us know if we can be of assistance, Elizabeth Cabell, ASID, CID Cabell Design Studio...See MoreHow to position my round table?
Comments (8)Hi 4eva zx, It's not optimum if you don't want to build a bespoke TV wall/console where I've placed the TV here (suggest that you get something where you can swivel the TV towards the sofa, or slightly extend that wall so the TV can be directly in front of the sofa), but in terms of spatial efficiency, your round table would be better placed like so: This is so that it's near the kitchen and you can use it for meals for more than two people. This placement will also allow you to make this family heirloom a visual focal point and conversation piece for your home. If you ever need to use a bigger table for gatherings with more people, you can simply put a rectangular top onto the round table and seat 6-8 people – the placement provides for space that allows this. Find a good ID or decorator who will work towards incorporating this family heirloom in your new home, and you'll be able to enjoy it for years to come. Hope this helps!...See MoreHow to make my condo look bigger and more appealing
Comments (18)Hi, I agree with Gary, do a hotel setting to make it more appealing. Here’s an idea. Remove the partition, move the closet down and add a big slider freeing up the space for a spacious bedroom with lounge seating/dining by the window. Think about the tv wall where it can have a proper work desk space. And do you have balcony? Perfect !...See MoreHelp with a 5R HDB Layout
Comments (15)Hi Miaw, ok your plan looking good. some comments. 1. would you consider a smaller foyer. some suspense at entry before the wow moment 2. island can be bigger where you can put your sink and some stools. 3. I think some walls not necessary to make it feel more space 4. that store room blocking the window, would you like to open this to bring more natural light, fresher by cross ventilation air moving from one window and out to other. 5. the common bathroom is outside at wet kitchen really? Anyway I think that open kitchen would be fabulous with some rich stone finish !...See More

3 years agoThanks people - Kate the flooring will be Amtico Cornish Oak laid in a herringbone pattern.
We're thinking of having light oak doors to match the flooring but I do take Minnie's point that it sticks out a bit against the dark blue. The woodwork on the stairs is a bit of a mish mash of woods and although I have softened the darker shades of it by sanding it's never going to match the flooring/doors. I was thinking of clear varnishing the stairs to keep the wood theme but maybe it's better they are painted over in a colour(s).

PROCONSIDERED LIVING DESIGN
3 years agoI'm going off topic here, but would you consider removing the handrail on the right of the stairs? as there is a wall there… I think it makes the staircase look crowded, and maybe paint something in your hallway? you want a bit of a wow factor when you enter you house, something to make you smile when you open your front door, It's a lovely, generous sized space with great proportions and could take a great light fitting and a large artwork too
