I've been collecting these images for awhile and now that I re-look at them, I realize the majority lean in the minimalist direction. Maybe I'm on the right track to begin with. Great! One more thing I can check off the list.
For now anyway...

Empty Entrance Halls

I wonder how many people actually use their entrance hall - entering as one is likely to do, in the suburbs, through a garage door to the kitchen. I like a hall to be as sparely furnished and elegantly utilitarian as possible.
ReplyDeleteOur hall , admittedly in a high-rise, is of necessity used every day and is furnished with a rug, a bench and an individually-framed 20-piece map of 17th century Paris - oh, and the recycling bags that always seem to need taking out of the door.
A digression: have you ever seen what was the entrance hall, now merely an ante-room, at the Morgan Library in New York?
Love the zebra rug! The spears and swords may be a little too much though.
ReplyDeleteOur stairway is very narrow, so as not to give the feeling of crowding when walking up the stairs I have left them empty (also did this in our upstairs hallway), and I rather like the look and feel- like a sorbet for all the other elements around it!
ReplyDeletehappy weekend!

It seems that you could perk up your entry hall very easily with 3 items:
ReplyDelete1) A mirror at eye level (one always need to make a last minute check before heading out the door - lettuce on teeth, etc.)
2) A light on the table or perhaps a pair of sconces on either side of the mirror
3) A potted plant or a flower arrangement on the table
Fast, inexpensive and entirely within your minimalist sensibilities. :)
