Making a grand entrance with a luxurious hallway

The hallway is often the first impression of a home, but it is an area that is often overlooked. In a recent article, Salon Privé Magazine urges property owners to transform their hallways and make an impressive statement:

"Giving a home or business a luxurious finish and feel."

A luxurious hallway creates an atmosphere of sophisticated style with features that captivate visitors upon entering. Stunning chandeliers and bold carpets add a sense of opulence and grandeur to the entranceway.

A stylish hall is a combination of lighting, colour and flooring. Carpets and laminate flooring in Chester and North Wales are popular hall floor coverings. Carpets provide a softer surface, but laminate flooring is more practical, especially on wet days when people entering a building drip water on the floor. Laminate flooring is easy to clean, and spills are quickly wiped up. Rugs can be placed on laminate flooring to add a touch of warmth.

Colour is important to the atmosphere of a hallway. Darker, richer tones add a touch of elegance. On the other hand, light oak laminate flooring with white or cream walls produces a sense of space, making narrow hallways appear roomier. Another way to add a feeling of space is through wall mirrors.

Lighting is another key element of a luxury hallway. A well-lit hallway is inviting, whether the light source is wall sconces, ceiling lights or natural light sources. Installing smart technology helps to automatically turn on welcoming lights as soon as someone enters the hallway.
