New Jewish Homes: How The Entrance Hall Can Be The Perfect Starting And Finishing Touch

New Jewish Homes: How The Entrance Hall Can Be The Perfect Starting And Finishing Touch
  • Opening Intro -

    When it comes to home décor, the entrance hall can easily be swept under the rug.

    In many cases, it gets treated as a means to an end; a short halfway point between entering the house and exiting the house.

-------------------------------------

But if you are putting the entrance hall at the bottom of the list of your interior design to-do list, then you are making a mistake.

This is especially true when it comes to Jewish households. Whilst the kitchen and dining room is decorated according to the Jewish faith (owing to the fact that so many holidays revolve around food), other rooms such as the entrance hall can often find themselves being left out.

After all, how and why should you decorate a room that no one really lingers in, apart from when they struggle to take their shoes off?

Easy. The entrance hall is the first room you see when you arrive home and it is the last room your guests will experience before they leave.

In this way, it should be given the exact same treatment as any other room in the house, especially when it comes to signifying your Jewish identity and virtues as a household.

For your consideration, here are just a few ideas on how you can give the entrance hall the pampering it deserves:

A Simple Table Can Work Wonders

When you walk into any luxurious hotel, you will notice that there is always a table in the lobby bearing flowers and seasonal decor. It always adds a bit of professionalism and luxury to the place you are visiting, so why not do the same for your own house?

It’s amazing how much of an impact a simple table can make to your entrance hall, and it is the perfect way to display any family photographs or décor pieces. If you don’t have any decor pieces that are specific to your faith, however, then don’t panic.

There are a number of interior design and art options within online Israeli Judaica sites that could be perfect for your home.

 

 

A Mezuzah Case Can Immediately Make An Impact

If you are part of a Jewish home, then a mezuzah case is certainly appropriate for your entrance hall. Designed to be placed beside the door frame, this is an important piece of the Torah which is housed inside a beautifully crafted case, making it both a practical and meaningful design idea.

Once again, there are plenty of variations to be found online, so do a bit of research and find something that will stand out and grab the attention of anyone entering your household.

Instill Some Color Within Your Walls

Home décor does not have to be complicated. As we mentioned, even just a collection of flowers and houseplants are a perfect feature for any entrance hall.

Not only do they look beautiful, but they will introduce a bit of color into your room and give your guests a wonderful fragrance as soon as they walk into your home.

Whatever you choose, it is certain to make you smile every time you open your front door.
