DECK THE HALL

A soft leather armchair in the hallway is the perfect spot to take off (or put on) your boots. It’s also a great way to make a feature of an area that’s often overlooked. Add a hook rack for coats and hats, and a vintage side table with a seasonal display to complete the eclectic effect.
