Entryways: Projects for You
The most popular entryway furniture that forms a constant element in many designs includes sliding wardrobes, mirror wardrobes, dressers, and shoe cabinets. Attractive options also include dressers and comfortable benches or chairs for putting on shoes. Additionally, various decorations, from moldings to artwork, can be useful.
One of the most popular types of furniture chosen by our clients are entryway wardrobes. A built-in wardrobe is an ideal solution for the foyer: it's worth considering when creating corridor designs for your home. Not only does it allow for effective storage of clothes and personal items, but a light, glass-fronted wardrobe visually enlarges and brightens the room.
A built-in wardrobe with sliding doors is especially good, particularly in entryways with limited space, as it does not waste space when the doors open. That’s why such solutions are recommended in our apartment entryway projects, where every centimeter of space counts. If there is enough space in the entryway, it’s worth considering adding a shoe cabinet to the overall arrangement. You can store everyday or off-season shoes in it, not only freeing up space but also hiding everyday and seasonal footwear.
Another great solution for the entryway is multifunctional furniture, such as a shoe cabinet with a bench function. Popular in northwestern Poland are also other multifunctional pieces, such as a shoe bench with a mirror and hooks. Shoes, personal accessories, and storage for small appliances can all be kept in a built-in wardrobe with drawers and compartments.
In addition to built-in wardrobes and multifunctional furniture, there are other types of furniture that every entryway should include. The hallway design might also incorporate wooden or metal coat racks, umbrella stands, or hat racks. You can match them to the custom furniture style, available space, or desired aesthetic of the apartment.
In an entryway with less space, a wall-mounted rack with several hooks and a shelf for accessories such as hats, winter caps, or scarves is always a good choice. This solution is functional and doesn’t take up much space, which is why most Polish households opt for it. Another interesting idea for entryway furniture is rolling cabinets. They can be easily moved according to needs. You don’t have to keep them in the hallway – there’s nothing worse than a cluttered entryway. Corridor designs that include such cabinets allow you to quickly prepare any section for unexpected guest visits.
Entryway Design in an Apartment: Small Spaces and You!
So-called "Gomułka apartments" are common, especially in Szczecin—they are often quite small, but their residents also deserve beautifully chosen entryway furniture. How should you adjust the corridor design in Szczecin if you have limited space?
Frankly, small corridors in narrow apartments can be very challenging to arrange. On a small area, we need to fit everything that's necessary, but we can't overdo the amount of furniture, and the space shouldn’t feel too overwhelming. In such cases, when designing the entryway, we can use optical tricks to make the foyer appear larger and brighter.
The simplest solution for an apartment entryway design is to use mirrors. They can be mounted on wardrobe doors, walls, or even on the floor. Light colors will also help to visually expand and brighten the space. Light pastel and cool shades, such as pale pink, blue, and mint, are appropriate options.
Another interesting way to visually enlarge a small entryway is with light wallpaper that mimics open space: a forest, sky, beach, etc. Considering both aesthetics and functionality, it's important to choose furniture and accessories that match your tastes and interests. In the entryway of a young person’s apartment, you might also showcase posters, stickers, or photos and reproductions in frames. Vertical stripes on the wall can also visually shorten the entryway and add height.
If you want the entryway to be the focal point of your home or apartment in Szczecin, it’s worth carefully considering its design from both a practical and aesthetic perspective. One of the best ways to design an entryway is to add personal touches that make your home stand out. Personal touches can include a fun doormat, unique colors, or the display of favorite artwork.
The appearance and functionality of the room are influenced by its shades and materials. Walls attract attention and should be carefully selected. To create the illusion of a larger space, it's worth using light colors. Short and narrow walls can be painted in bright, intense colors to draw attention, while long walls should provide a soft, passive background. Such an unusual entryway design in Szczecin will ensure that the space doesn’t appear too long.
