The entrance of your home is the visiting card of your home, a crucial space to make a good impression and set the tone for the entire decoration.
According to interior designers, certain items can disrupt the functionality and aesthetics of the house.
Here are the 6 things you should avoid at the entrance of your home to create a welcoming and organized space.
1 – Shoes scattered on the floor
Accumulated shoes at the entrance can give a sense of disorder and lack of care. Designers recommend investing in an organizer or specific shelves to keep them out of sight. This not only improves the aesthetics but also makes circulation in the area easier.
2 – Very small or slippery rugs
An unsuitable rug can compromise the safety and visual harmony of the entrance. Choose non-slip models and those proportional to the space. Designers suggest opting for durable, easy-to-clean materials, such as natural fibers.
3 – Misplaced mirrors
Although mirrors are great for expanding the space and reflecting light, placing them incorrectly can cause discomfort. Avoid placing them directly across from the door, as this can create confusing energy flow according to Feng Shui, in addition to being non-functional for the entrance.
4 – Objects or furniture blocking circulation
Large furniture or bulky items can hinder the natural flow in the entrance. Opt for compact and functional furniture, such as narrow consoles or benches with storage compartments. The goal is to keep the space practical and uncluttered.
5 – Piles of mail and keys
Leaving letters, bills, and keys scattered can give the entrance a messy look. Designers suggest using organizer trays or discreet hooks to keep these items organized and easily accessible.
6 – Excessive or out-of-context decoration
Avoid overcrowding the entrance with too many decorative objects. Less is more! Choose pieces that complement the style of your home, such as vases, paintings, or lamps, without compromising the functionality of the space.
Designers’ Tip
The entrance should be practical, inviting, and reflect the personality of the home. By avoiding these common mistakes, you ensure an organized, beautiful, and functional space that can make a great first impression on anyone entering your home.
Invest in furniture and decorative items that harmonize with the environment and avoid excess. This way, your entrance will become a true welcoming point for you and your guests.
