Located in a wooded area of coastline above South Sands in Salcombe, the design for this replacement dwelling looked to create a modern home that sits comfortably within its setting but also maximises connection and views out to the surrounding landscape and coast. A simple palette of natural materials reflects the wooded surroundings. The house is predominantly clad in timber, used in panels of either thick planks or narrow battens to give variety. White render and stone make up the rest of the palette, though key areas are finished in a bright rust-red Corten steel, adding colour and character to the neutral tones of wood and stone. Nestled into the steeply sloping site and overlooking the Salcombe estuary, a key design driver for the house was maximising the view and connection with the garden, and large areas of glazing were provided no the south elevation. This glazing can be opened up to allow the outside spaces to become part of the living experience. The house is entered at first floor, with living and kitchen areas at this level, and a large balcony directly off these spaces was therefore critical to provide outside dining and living space. Below this the bedrooms are sheltered by the overhang – giving protection and privacy. The swimming pool is located directly outside of the two bedrooms, and reflects morning sunlight onto the ceilings of the bedrooms. The central entrance hall forms an axis off which all rooms flow, and the full-height glazing at both ends gives an immediate view of the sea upon entering the house. The concrete and timber staircase sits within this main axis and is a feature element of the house design. A full-length glass-roof slot is located above the staircase, washing natural light down into the entrance hall and bedroom hallway below.

Interior design project of apartment in Kyiv #UV75

BELIK interior design studio

Entrance hall design in a three-room apartment. A dark gray sideboard and a blue pouf bring dynamics to the white and beige interior. And the mirrored doors of the wardrobe visually expand the space and add illumination to it, reflecting the sun that comes from the living room. Cream-colored, as in the room, the walls became the perfect backdrop for the discreet ensemble of the entrance area of the apartment.

Entrance Lobby Designs & Ideas

The foyer is the first and last room your guests will see, so think of this space as a first chance to showcase the style of your house. Whether you have a grand entrance or functional passage it is the transition from the public to the private world. So don’t underestimate the foyer’s value, browse through foyer design images to help you explore entrances, foyer designs, and ideas that incorporate functionality and appearance.

How do I make my front entry stand out?

A front door can make or break the home’s entrance appeal. No one wants a front door that stands out for all the wrong reasons, so choose one that is unique, interesting and yet suits the style of your home. Intricately carved wooden doors are great for traditional Indian style homes. While arched door works well for Mediterranean-style homes, and a double door is a great way to make a dramatic entry statement. If your entrance is set back from the facade of your home, try using a lighter or brighter color palette for the door. Add potted plants and a welcome mat to make it stand out. Don’t forget about proper lighting to guide the visitors in the dark. Alternatively, if you want a cost effective foyer design makeover - try painting your door a bright color or adding new hardware for a fresh new look.

What furniture and storage do I need in my entryway?

Foyers have both utilitarian and design roles to play within a living space. The utilitarian aspect includes storage and space to ensure the entrance to your home is clutter free as possible. It is wise to select a few practical items that will help with storage and offer a warm welcome. Coat stands, umbrella holders and shoe racks are practical foyer additions that will keep the area tidy. If you have the space, an armchair or hallway bench will prove useful for perching on when removing shoes and definitely consider multi-functional furniture such as a storage bench for shoes.

How do I decorate my entryway?

For most Indian homes the foyer is a drop zone making entrance decor a challenge. Embrace the space and need by adding decor elements that double up as storage. Use hooks, bowls and bins creatively to ensure the entry to your home is mess free. The foyer decor and elements can be blended seamlessly into the home with details that connect it to adjoining rooms. Think flooring, a well-placed rug, curtains or just wall paint that matches the rest of house. If you have open wall space, add artwork or photographs that make you happy or are conversation-starters. As a final thoughtful touch, place a big mirror next to the front door for last minute appearance checks.
