Whether minimalist or creative, this is an important space from both an architectural and emotional perspective, because it is the threshold between the outside and the home’s intimate interior, an overture in crescendo until we reach the living area. It announces the home, but is also a passageway where we leave whatever it is we're holding when we walk in, be it a bag, phone, PC, or coat, so it is important that it be designed with practical furniture and accessories. The must-haves to make this space welcoming, light, and elegant but at the same time functional, are coat racks, consoles, pouffes, and accent chairs. Equally essential is the use of mirrors, highly versatile furnishings that can be placed in any room, and which amplify the perception of space, as well as impeccable lighting that “welcomes” and creates a respectable visual impact.
