Take care of your entrance

As the first impression of your home, the entrance is the first room to set the tone for your decor. Don't underestimate it: take care of it, because it's where it all begins. So why not make it memorable with the right choice of flooring?

# Create visual continuity

If your entrance is a hallway, create visual continuity by extending the parquet used in the living room, as here with a straight plankd of parquet laid lengthways. This visual continuity gives a sense of harmony and openness, creating a larger, more welcoming space.

You can also choose a patterned parquet floor, such as chevron or herringbone, to add a graphic touch and a beautiful perspective to your entrance.

# Or choose to define space in an original way

Break codes, break lines! Lay your parquet in a different direction to the rest of the interior and use rounded edges to soften the structured look of the floor.

You can also mark the difference between the entrance and the rest of the room by using a different floor, as in the kitchen for example.

# Use colour to create an entrance with character.

For the more daring, create an entrance with character by combining strong wall colours with a warm wooden floor. Choose electric blue, brick red or intense black to inject personality and dynamism into your space.

# Combine tiles and parquet in your entrance hall: style and easy maintenance guaranteed!

Another tip: Combining tiles and parquet in your hallway is an excellent idea for adding a touch of style without sacrificing practicality! Make sure the tiles and parquet complement each other well to create a subtle but elegant contrast. For example, if you have a light oak floor, choose tiles in neutral tones or with subtle patterns. Also consider functionality by using tiles near the front door for an easy-to-clean, water-resistant area. Separate the main circulation area with parquet.
