Entry hallway decor ideas
Comments (3)Adding a mirror in the hallway will give you the illusion of having a bigger space and it's perfect near the entrance because everyone needs to have one last look at themselves in the mirror before heading out....See Morestaircase entry/hallway/entryway lights
Comments (2)What is your style/style of your furnishings? Is the staircase fixture the same as the entry fixture? If it is, and you like that finish/style, a quick fix would be to get rid of the boob light in the hallway and move the staircase fixture to the hallway. If you want different fixtures altogether, choose a semi-flush mount fixture for the entry and the flush mount version of the same fixture for the hallway. Then pick out a larger complimentary pendant or chandelier for the staircase....See MoreEntry Wall Transition With Adjacent Hallway Entry
Comments (9)@3onthetree - thanks for the feedback. #2 - I'd say you caught an error or inconsistency. I believe it is supposed to a 2 ft step with ~1 ft beams (10" actually). making it a 13 ft ceiling and not 12 ft as shown. Will need to clarify. #3 - that is correct on the original/current plan there are no headers shown. (I suspect they may be forced to put a header there to carry the load of the beams across the Living Rm - purely a guess on my part). But your last sentence on #3 really gets to the heart of the issue. All interior doors are 8 ft. so technically they have an 8 ft header. There are a several entry ways that are 'thicker' at around 12" with arches starting at 8' (and peaking at roughly 8' 6"). That means the Entry and Vestibule have always been 'unique'. Bringing the entry out 4 inches from Vestibule wall allows me to introduce an arch with symmetrical columns. That somewhat matches the arch on the other side of the same public space that also has an arch protruding slightly and is between the kitchen and dining areas. So that leaves the vestibule as the odd one. With an 8 ft header it would be the same height as all the other headers with doors - albeit there is no door there. That was about the best I could come up with. Or we could leave the entry to the vestibule as designed - open all the way to 9 ft instead of the 8 ft header. But that would be more 'unique' than having an 8 ft header like doored entryies. #4. Ignoring doors - there are no other wing walls except a couple short ones in walk in pantry. But to keep consistent with the 12" thick arched entryways elswhere - the entry wall may need to be tripled with 2x4s not doubled to get it more consistent. Something like this: Or This - the later one below having the arch extend 8 in vs 4 in away from Vestibule wall... #5 - I was concerned that if we double up the thickness of the vestibule wall especially on the inside (bookcase) it would throw off the depth of the FP relatively to the other side of the FP. Currently both sides of the FP are 1'-10". Which was an argument to leave the vestibule side of the wall as-is. My 3D sketches are very crude and I did not include things like lights around the front door - just threw a door on there to give us a rough idea on how it might visualize is all. @3onthetree - thanks,...See MoreI would like some ideas for paint colours for my entry, hall and door
Comments (9)houssaon, yes she is a mix of an art deco and Mediterranean style house with almost everything in it original to 1938. She is a beautiful home with character. While none of the features of this house would be anything i would have personally chosen for my self if i had a blank canvass, I am keeping her in her original glory for as long as I can. I like your suggestions. Thank you....See MoreRelated Professionals
