This is how you create a larger entrance

Is the hallway in your house small and narrow? With a number of easily applicable tips you can make this space transform it into an apparently larger entrance.

In the height

Making use of the walls is always a good idea if you have a narrow, small hallway. For example, opt for a hanging coat stopper instead of a standing one and hang photos or art at different heights. For example, it is less noticeable that the hall is narrow, because the attention is drawn to the height.

Placing a tall cabinet can also help, but make sure that it is not too wide. As a result, the hallway can appear extra narrow again.

Use the right color

Are you thinking of painting the hall in a dark color? Then know that this makes the room optically even smaller and narrower. What can be a solution in this case is to paint everything in the dark color: from ceiling to floor. This ensures that everything becomes one whole and that looks more spacious.

Do you find a completely dark hallway a bit too much of a good thing? You can also darken the lower halves of the walls and paint the tops with a light color. This also gives you a spatial effect. Making the wall really half dark is not useful, because this can destroy the effect. So calculate a few more centimeters for the light part.

Rug in it

A long but narrow hallway? A light, elongated rug can do wonders. This emphasizes the length of the hallway and not how narrow it is. Check with yourself whether a rug is a handy option for you, because such a rug is also for danger of falling can take care of.
