The Trick To Making Your Entryway Feel Bigger

The entrance is an important part of the house. This is the first impression people have on your home. So how do you make good use of this part?

There are many crafts and accessories to dress up your home. Too many decorations will make your home look complicated.

If you only add one decorative feature to your entryway—or, OK, to the sliver of wall space next to the front door that you call an entryway—let it be a mirror. This is actually quite practical: Coat hooks are useful, but can they open up a cramped space? Can a small shelf double the natural light in a room? Can a bench tell you if you have blueberry in your teeth before heading out on a date? Didn't think so.

Step through the door and you're greeted by the massive piece, as tall and wide as your arms spread wide. You could practically leap right through it. And everything from the wallpaper pattern on the ceiling to the sunlight streaming in from the living room are reflected in its surface. Unlike horizontal mirrors, round ones don’t lower the ceiling, Instead they look like wide-open portals, adding a certain expansiveness wherever you hang one. This is a particularly useful feeling to convey in a small entryway with a dropped ceiling.

The number of mirrors should be well controlled. There can’t be too many mirrors installed in the entrance, otherwise there will be a feeling of confusion in the field of vision, which is easy to cause hallucinations and shocks. In the long run, it will lead to mental weakness. At the same time, a pot of green plants can be placed in front of the mirror to bring the vitality of nature into the room.
