Our hallways are the first thing that greet us and our guests in our home, they deal with the daily rush hour and house everything from muddy shoes and damp coats to hats and umbrellas, yet the hallway is often the last on our home improvement list.
With five simple solutions we show how you can introduce the feeling of warmth and create a greater sense of space using the GoodHome interior project approach on any budget. Your hallway is the introduction to your home and so you want it to feel welcoming.
The feeling of warmth can be achieved by considering the combination of colour, surfaces on walls, the floor or ceiling and the level of natural light available. Lighter tones are recommended for narrow spaces with limited light. Also, consider a paint that has reflective qualities that can help make the most of the light you do have.
Where light is in abundance, you can play with colours and surfaces. The way you apply your colour is just as important as the colour itself. It can help you make the most of the size, space and proportions you have in your home. Try introducing a warm shade halfway up your hallway walls, with a lighter shade on top, to create an illusion of space and light. Choose from one of the 80 curated colours in the GoodHome paint range, which is designed to suit any home.
Maximise your space — Shoes, coats, keys, bags, umbrellas and pet leads all find a home in our hallways. In a narrow hallway you can make the most of the space available and the proportions of your hallway by thinking about it vertically.
By that we mean, think about the space above you, and keep the floor clear. If you have a bigger hallway, consider the space horizontally, then you can get creative with clever storage solutions. Inject some of your personality — It is the first thing your guests see when you welcome them into your home, so you want your hallway to reflect who you and your family are.
Why not draw extra attention to them by subtly framing with a contrasting block of GoodHome Hempstead durable walls and ceilings paint? Alternatively, mirrors are a simple trick to inject a greater sense of space and light. A finish that you can keep fresh and clean — The hallway is one of the highest traffic spots in the house. With soggy dogs shaking off the damp from the evening walk, muddy kids disrobing and shopping bags crashing around after your weekly haul, the walls in your hallway are destined to be scuffed.
Make sure to choose a paint that can withstand the test of time and cover a multitude of sins. GoodHome durable walls and ceilings paint is washable and scrubbable.

Take control and add some colour — Make your living room a place that reflects your style by adding colour and personality to your space. This is the first step to understanding and appreciating the space you have before considering what colour and style you want to introduce.
Gone are days of feature walls that address just one wall. You have four walls and a ceiling to play with. Think about the area you want to make a focal point and create some ideas that will help add your identity to it. Paste the walls — Yep, I said it, paste the walls… wallpaper just got a whole lot simpler. Simply paste the wall no pasting table required and hang.

Map out your space — Work life is becoming more a part of home life than ever, as people are increasingly working from home.
Keep your work separate from family time by creating a dedicated workspace. When creating this space, consider the whole room to ensure it works in harmony with the rest of the space. Possibly the most important decision is the percentage of the room you want to dedicate to your workspace, as this will impact the size of desk and the kind of storage.
This is your starting point. Let there be light — Consider natural light. If you are going to spend long days at your desk, a good level of natural light will help with concentration. If natural light is a luxury, add a desk light or floor lamp to the area to help keep the energy up and concentration on point during a long day. Create your zone — To keep work and play separate, an idea is to create a zone. There are a number of ways you can approach this.
Adding a different colour to this area, for example. The use of colour here will create energy and stimulate the mind. Be sure to consider how the colour works with the rest of the room. Wallpaper is another simple yet effective option. Functionality — When considering your desk and storage, consider the size of your space.
In a smaller space think vertically, taller storage units and are best in comparison to wider units and pin boards in a larger space. For a lot of staff, it's proved to be quite a positive experience. I would say productivity levels have been very good working in this way. Lots of people have commented to me about the opportunities that working from home gives them. But we do recognise there are some downsides to it. I think people miss the social interaction that comes from working in the office.
From a development perspective, having those face-to-face conversations are really important to people, in particular for some of the more junior members of staff. In finance, we have a number of apprentices working for us.
We can hopefully get back in the office at some point and provide them with that face-to-face development that will really help them. Bryant: At the start of the crisis, when the outcome was very uncertain, we absolutely went into that mode of conserving cash and protecting spending. We cut back on any nonessential spend that we had at the time. We worked closely with our suppliers to make sure that we protected cash flow.
We looked at the government support that was available and took advantage of some schemes. But then for our business, as we came out of an initial difficult trading period, sales recovered very well, and actually we've had to almost turn the taps back on and reinvest into the business to support the areas that have been seeing significant growth.
So that's investing into our website, investing in more staff in stores to care for that increased demand, and increasing the cost that we have to support the logistics network to manage the stock coming into the business.
It has given us some options of things to do, and it has been really pleasing that as things have recovered, we've been able to make sure that we reward our staff appropriately. Bryant: So it absolutely still remains to make sure that we can maintain safe trading. That is the number one priority. Securing stock availability is probably our next biggest priority at the moment. We've seen some challenges for suppliers. They've obviously got social-distancing measures in place, and increased demand has created some pressures on some of the raw materials that they need.
So we're having to work very closely with them, very collaboratively, and also with our third-party logistics providers to ensure we have products available for customers when they need them.
What are the biggest threats currently to the business, how are you overcoming those, and what indicators are you tracking? Bryant : As always there are multiple risks and opportunities faced by our business.
I think one of the biggest challenges is the polarised demand levels that we're seeing across our categories. In that space, we're tracking availability ratios, so how much of the range or what proportion of the range is available to customers in each individual store and online. We're also tracking stock levels and how many purchase orders we have in the supply chain.
And then absolutely focused on what customers are telling us and what they're seeing, and so customer feedback measures like net promoter score help with that. We take a holistic view to factor what's going on, and then obviously the business adapts to that. Reveal deeper insights into your organization's relationships with RelSci Contact Aggregator.
