Hallway Can Have
Bright 'Appearance
Because the entrance hall is
primarily a ' passageway between
the front door and the interior
of the house, some homemakers
thoughtlessly slight its furnishings
and decoration. 4 -
Interior designers regard this
as a mistake.
A visitor gets his initial impres-
sion of the house from the hall-
way and an attractive hall will
get the house off on the right
foot, decoratively. It should be
inviting and cheerful rather than
impersonal and drab.
