The Hallway/Il Ingresso

recently I re-read “Rose Cumming: design Inspirations.”

This book, about one of the pioneers of a  “new” field called interior design, was a gift from my friend Erica for my birthday last year.

The following quote from Ms. Cumming jumped out at me:  “I feel that upon entering a house one should at once be made conscious of the dominate note pervading its scheme of decoration.”

I was just speaking with a friend regarding how sometimes hallways are neglected spaces.

I agree with Ms. Cumming.  A hallway shouldn’t be a dumping ground for keys, shoes, etc.

If you live in a small space you could create a hallway that’s functional and stylish.

Here are three fab hallways:

How gorgeous is this staircase?  I love the contrast of the very dark wood with the white paint.

Designer Rita Konig’s kitchen is a perfect example of a hallway serving more than one purpose.

A hallway is a great space to showcase art.
