We changed the original yellow glass to clear frosted glass to bring in bucket loads of bright white light. We changed the flooring to vinyl planks but laid them in a herringbone pattern. We added a bright blue console and arched mirror to make the entry more functional and welcoming

Soluções inteligentes e acabamentos nobres resolveram este apartamento em Flores da Cunha, RS. Com um total de 127 m², o imóvel ganhou mais espaço através do acréscimo da sacada. Mantivemos a configuração principal do apartamento, mas trocamos pisos, revestimentos, guarnições; reformados as portas; acrescentamos o forro de gesso; principalmente investimos em esquadrias com vidro duplo. Aliado a posição solar em que o apartamento se encontra, esta solução trouxe melhora termo-acústica ao apartamento, não necessitando a instalação de ar condicionado em nenhum ambiente. Tudo muito prático e moderno, o projeto deveria ser sofisticado e principalmente confortável. Os revestimentos em cores sóbrias dão o tom chique ao apartamento, enquanto os detalhes denotam modernidade, como o lustre (Hope) da sala de jantar e o quadro de Vitor Senger, com a representação de Marilyn Monroe. Na cozinha, ilha com pia e torneira gourmet, cooktop e coifa, pensado para o uso prático e fácil manutenção. A pintura branca extra-brilho dos armários contrasta com o preto do granito. O toque de jovialidade e bom-humor está presente com as cadeiras Christie Floral. Mais aconchegante ainda, o dormitório do casal possui cama enorme, cabeceira estofada, puff e tapete super macio. A imagem da ponte do brooklin impressa em uma chapa de mdf e os espelhos do closet oferecem profundidade ao espaço, chamando a atenção de quem entra no quarto. Tudo sob medida, com design mais apurado, onde cada peça é pensada e projetada para uma vida mais duradoura. O vazio de certos pontos dão leveza e oferecem uma boa circulação.

Mis clientes, además de tener muy buen gusto, son unos enamorados del arte. Mitchell diseñador de moda y Marc que trabajó siempre en el mundo del estilismo y la imagen, atesoran una gran cantidad de piezas de arte, entre los que destacan esculturas, figuras, jarrones y objetos de porcelana y cristal de distintas épocas, todas teñidas en los más diversos colores. Estas piezas podemos encontrarlas en cada rincón de este ecléctico y elegante apartamento, y algunas de ellas las podemos ver en esta foto sobre la consola de madera fabricada a medida por un artesano en el norte de Europa, o sobre las baldas de cristal de la vitrina iluminada por led, que diseñe para este precioso y coqueto hall.

Small Entrance with a Pivot Front Door Ideas and Designs

The entrance of your home is a critical area to design well because as we all know, first impressions count. As the first thing that visitors will see when they arrive, your entrance is your opportunity to offer guests a warm welcome while introducing the personality of your home. Equally important, it welcomes you home every day, so make it somewhere that you’re glad to come home to. The entrance to your home begins the moment you get to the front door, so make sure both inside and out get the attention of your decorator’s touch. Make your foyer the best possible introduction to the rest of the house, and if you wish, you can have a bit of fun with the doorway; paint, tiles, door handles and lighting are all ways to make front doors a statement – a dramatic entrance, if you will.

What front doors can I choose from?

Your first decision when updating front doors is what type of external doors you want to use, taking into account style, security and accessibility. Investing in a high quality front door is always worthwhile – this is a purchase where a little extra money goes a long way. Hardwood exterior doors remain the most popular choice of front door; as well as being the most economical, timber also opens the door to an endless selection of paint, hardware and embellishment. However, natural wood doors do have their downsides – prone to warping, they require more upkeep and may require replacing if not adequately cared for. Whether you opt for solid oak external doors or an oak veneer option, wooden doors are a match made in heaven for period architecture – it’s hard to imagine a Georgian house without a solid, six-panel door, or a Victorian home sans its gleaming hardware and stained glass panes. If you prefer non-wooden exterior doors, the alternatives are UPVC doors, GRP doors (collectively known as composite doors) and steel doors. UPVC front doors are often the most inexpensive alternative to timber and offer added insulation benefits; because the material itself can be a comparatively insubstantial, UPVC external doors are built into steel door frames for added reinforcement. GRP (glass-reinforced plastic, or fibreglass to you and me) doors offer the same properties, with a woodgrain effect that can provide a happy medium for lovers of timber. Steel doors are less widely used in the UK than the US, and make great contemporary front doors thanks to their sleek, modern appearance.

How do I decorate my doorway?

Renovating or replacing your front doors is one of the quickest ways to give your home a makeover, and affords the perfect opportunity to add a splash of colour to the front of your home. To improve your front door’s kerb appeal you can flank the doorway with decorative trees or flowering plants in attractive planters and “dress” the door with shiny hardware. Door knockers and door knobs can be more than functional with a range of styles and materials available to add some personality to exterior doors. A traditional brass door knocker can be the perfect complement to a solid oak doorway painted in a rich shade of green or blue, whilst contemporary chrome door hardware will look perfect against a white or eggshell door. If you are looking for an elegant front door option, opt for a hardwood door with built in obscured glass panels to let light into your hallway. If you would rather avoid a glass paned front door for security reasons then smaller decorative glass panels can also be inserted into the surround or door frame. You can choose stained glass panes for decorative effect, patterned or textured glass will allow light in but protect your privacy or get your home name or number etched into a glass pane for a practical but personal touch.

How should I light my front entrance?

The warm glow from a doorway is one of the most welcoming sights that can greet us when we arrive home. An entrance light is of practical importance – we have all spent time fumbling for our house keys in the dark – but it also offers an opportunity to add warmth and character to front doors and entrances. A wall mounted lantern is a charming traditional choice, or for bright, directed illumination opt for a security spotlight. There are a whole variety of switching options available – you can choose a motion sensor light that switches on right when you need it most, a timer light that will offer illumination on a fixed schedule or a switched outdoor light. Pointing light upward is a good way to avoid harsh glare, or choose recessed lighting if you prefer not to have a hanging light in front of your external doors. An entrance is also a great place to display lighting as a decorative feature – choose a table lamp that echoes the lines and colours of the hall beyond it.

What furniture and storage do I need in my entryway?

It’s important to keep the entrance to your home as open and clutter free as possible, so selecting a few practical items that will help with storage and offer a warm welcome is the best approach for this area. Coat stands, umbrella holders and shoe racks are practical foyer additions that will keep the area tidy. For the knick knacks and paraphernalia that so often accumulate by front doors, sideboards or console tables are helpful and opting for a something with a drawer is a clever trick to ensure these things can be stowed out of sight. If you have the space, an armchair, occasional chair 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. A wall mounted shoe cabinet is a must have for a tighter space, getting shoes off the floor and neatly stowed away.

How do I decorate my foyer?

Particularly in the entrance to the home, colour can be a wonderful tool to set the tone of the house. Neutral palettes can create a serene atmosphere appropriate for greeting guests; alternatively, you might find yourself being a little bit more adventurous by choosing a whimsical wallpaper or a bold wall colour that could look overwhelming anywhere else in the house. In either case, the foyer can be blended seamlessly into the home with details that connect it to adjoining rooms. Even if your entrance is not self-contained, instead with exterior doors that open straight into the house, visual tricks make it possible to create the illusion of an entryway by defining the space as such. Changes in flooring, a well-placed rug, a screen or curtain, or even furniture such as a console table or coat rack, can be used to delineate the space and distinguish the entrance from the rest of the hallway. Decorating walls and furniture with photographs or artwork is a simple way of bringing your personality into the foyer and plants, lamps, candles, vases and ornaments can be displayed on windowsills, tables or shelves. As a final thoughtful touch, mirrors placed next to front doors are a practical choice for those last minute appearance checks, as long as it’s not directly opposite the doorway, which could back-light the user – decidedly not helpful!
