Entrance hall
If Sophie – the official canine greeter could talk – she'd say that the entrance has gone from bland to grand with the addition of classic moulding details, gleaming hardwood floors and elegant wood-and-glass closet doors.
Problems:
The long, narrow entrance hall was poorly lit and failed to create a warm welcome. The mirrored closet doors that ran the length of the hall served little purpose, as there was nothing of interest on the opposite wall to reflect, which made the entrance feel lopsided. The beige ceramic tile floor didn't complement the blond laminate flooring in the living room, resulting in a rather choppy look.
Solution:
The new engineered-wood flooring that runs throughout the condo visually expands and unifies the home. The formerly plain wall opposite the closet doors is now a stunning feature wall, with moulding in a simple-yet-classic panelled design. Wood-framed frosted-glass closet doors mimic the wall design opposite and create a more sophisticated and welcoming entrance. The hall closet interiors were painted a sunny yellow and fitted with organizers to maximize storage.
