Modern and elegant entrance: design ideas and furnishing solutions

The entrance of the home is the home’s real calling card: it is, in fact, the first room you see when you enter and the last when you leave. Consequently, it is important to pay great attention to the design and furnishing of this space.

Within a home, it is good that the entrance is not neglected but always well cared for and welcoming. Below are some ideas and furnishing solutions for entrances with a modern and elegant style. 

Ideas for a modern and elegant entrance: main features

When you want to design and furnish a modern-style entrance, you should consider that it is an environment where aesthetics must go hand in hand with functionality. The entrance, in fact, must be furnished both in a comfortable way to facilitate the person’s daily life, and in a way that expresses and anticipates the elegance and personality of one’s home.  Consequently, modern furniture, such as console tables or shelves, to guarantee a supporting function, as well as a coat stand, shoe rack, umbrella stand and other necessary furnishing accessories, become essential. In addition, a further aspect of fundamental importance is lighting. If the room that houses the entrance does not have any possibility of favouring natural light, it is preferable for this to come from an artificial source such as a chandelier or spotlights. Brightness makes the room comfortable and more pleasant to look at and live in.

Before furnishing an entrance that is both cosy and elegant, it is important to be aware of the fact that this is not a room proper, but a kind of passage area. Consequently, the décor must be essential and, above all, characterised by furnishings and furniture that are practical and comfortable for the room. For example, a good idea would be to place a modern entrance furniture. This is an excellent storage solution for all personal items such as keys or handbags. For a modern and elegant style of furniture, suspended entrance furniture is a good option.

Entrance furniture solutions: lighting

After taking care of the furniture, the next step in furnishing a modern entrance hall is to design and fit the right lighting. In the case of a small room, a good idea is to opt for spotlights or, in general, for light points to be mounted on the ceiling, so as not to create further limitations of passage. If, on the other hand, the entrance of the house is large, it is possible to opt for modern pendant lamps or, alternatively, for wall lamps. By choosing LED lights, finally, you have the possibility of regulating the intensity of the light, thus creating brighter atmospheres and others more evocative and welcoming.

Entrance furniture solutions: the choice of coat rack

When it comes to furnishing the entrance of the home, indispensable complements include furniture such as a coat stand, shoe rack and other furnishing elements with a supporting function. Before choosing a coat rack, however, it is important to consider the size of the room. This is a good solution to avoid choosing a piece of furniture that is bulky and inapplicable to your entrance. If the area in question is very small, it is possible to opt for hangers that can be attached directly to the wall: these keep the room tidy without taking up too much space. Alternatively, if size is not an issue, you can choose more striking and impactful furniture, ideal for adding elegance to the surroundings.
