The architect Ana Rozenblit, of the Spaço Interior studio, offers suggestions to make this environment more welcoming and receptive to visitors.
If the first impression is what remains, having an elegantly furnished entrance can be the right way to present your home to new visitors.
Architect Ana Rozenblit, head of the Spaço Interior studio, gives advice on how to introduce a decoration that dialogues with the other rooms of the residence and meets the needs of the residents.
Harmonizing the style of the entrance with the living room is essential for integration into the home. “I always recommend considering the size and impact the resident wants to have when they have someone in the house,” says Ana.
To this end, he suggests inserting captivating objects that give life to the space, such as carpets, shoe racks, mirrors and flowers – which help to renew the appearance of the path that opens the way to residential environments.
How to furnish the entrance
Remember: this is a place of passage. Therefore, it is essential to free the environment from obstacles. “The room must be comfortable and with a layout that does not make people crash”, analyzes the architect.
Ana suggests investing in design pieces, sideboards, sculptures and paintings. “Thinking about the look, we can work with decorative lamps, mirrors, wallpaper and other resources that will allow us to achieve the wishes of the residents,” she adds.
On the other hand, if the intention was to develop a more intimate atmosphere, she states that she likes to use objects like books and plants, entrance doors with different colors and friezesas well as adding elements that convey the feeling of welcome.
With lighting, the elements that give the viewer movement are welcome in the hall. “The coverings, furniture and accessories with more sinuous and curved shapes are ideal for achieving this goal.”
He claims that the entrance can print the style of the social area of the house, following a language in unison, or give a different impression, making it a separate environment.
House vs apartment: is there a difference in the entrance?
Although there are not many distinctions between the entrance hall of the apartments and that of the houses, the decisive point to analyze is whether the project included a dedicated space for the hall. In houses, this room, which precedes the living room, is usually found only in large residential buildings.
“In the apartments, the lift gives direct access to the hall, becoming standard. In a house it can have a larger size, a different format and be more personalized”, explains the professional.
But, even if your home does not have a layout with an entrance, it is possible to dedicate a small space to make the place of the environment.

One small entrance there is no reason to leave it without functionality and with white walls. Architect Ana Rozenblit explains that one of the first steps is to think about the lighting design: with the right pieces, in line with the wall colors and the appropriate decorative elements, the corner can receive the addition of an extra space.
“With inviting lighting, the room will awaken the desire to come in and feel at home,” he says. The area can also be used to install a bookcase, expose a gallery wall, as well as gain space by placing mirrors.

Larger spaces can result in cold and uninviting. Therefore, Ana suggests creating a dedicated place to house bags, shoes and umbrellas and, if possible, the inclusion of a couple of armchairs helps to introduce a more familiar style.
As for the lighting, opt for special pendants or chandeliers to highlight the environment, a way to reinforce the style chosen to furnish the space and make a beautiful and suggestive impression on those who enter the residence.
