Prepare for the rain
The umbrella stand doesn't seem like it at first glance.But its addition, firstly, will make you think before leaving - am I ready for bad weather today? Secondly, it will provide a place for drying a wet umbrella when you return to a dry warm house. A couple of spare ones can be stored there for forgetful guests - the weather is unpredictable. 
Organization of important trivia
The problem with the type of small things thatAccumulate in the hallway, is that this is a very important little thing. Letters that you were going to take with you and send along the road, but forgot, accounts from the mailbox, which would be nice to pay as soon as possible. It is necessary to provide for them a place - it's easier than to deal with the consequences of unsent letters and unpaid bills. Store such papers in a basket or attached to a cork or magnetic board. 
Key moment
That's exactly what you do not want to lose amongTrifles in hallways, so these are the keys. Surely there is not even one bundle here, let's count: spare keys, keys from the mailbox, neighbors' keys to the apartment, who asked to water the flowers while they are on vacation, and so on. Organize the housekeeper - a nice purchase or homemade. Or at least put a special basket. 
It is impossible without a mirror

Not to mention the importance for the decor of the object, which increases the amount of light in the dark corridor.

Highlight several areas, such as the entrance area and the mirror. And think about lamps with photocells reacting to movement - so you will not stumble in the dark, going out into the corridor at night. 
Living decor
Nothing creates a relaxed and communicativeAtmosphere as well as living plants and flowers. To arrange a green composition directly in the hallway and set the tone of the evening at once is a great idea. Just keep in mind that most plants need much more light than in a small standard corridor. But a bouquet of cut or even high-quality artificial flowers will please your guests - and you too. 
The art of hospitality
Another great way to set the mood from the threshold is- a bright attractive accent in the design of the hallway. For example, a picture or a poster. Such a color spot attracts the eye, evokes interest and generally allows guests to relax and feel at home. And you will be pleased to see a valuable item for you every day first thing on your return home.
