Those rooms that don&#8217;t often receive as much attention or dedication. Those that often get lost when it comes to renovations and the redecorating lists. We believe it is these smaller rooms that can make an equally big impact. They are the rooms we may see on a daily basis, but where we tend to get what we need and then simply shut the door. We don&#8217;t consider them altogether cosy or welcoming but view them as practical and convenient. A necessary space that serves a purpose or function.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8412 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/untitled-6-1-1259972.jpg?resize=29%2C37&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"untitled-6-1-1259972\" width=\"29\" height=\"37\"&nbsp;\/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">From the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/hallway-furniture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hallway<\/a> to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/kitchen-furniture\/utility-room\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">utility room<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/home-office-furniture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">study or home office<\/a> then, we&#8217;ve put together some ideas for uplifting colour schemes, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/accessories\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">practical accessories<\/a> and simple decorative tips for creating a space that perfectly epitomises the start of spring.

However long they may be, however narrow, grand or dark, our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/hallway-furniture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hallways<\/a> are the first aspect of our homes we see when we walk through the front door. They help to create an impression &#8211; an idea of what we can expect as we venture further inside. We associate a &#8216;welcoming entrance&#8217; as one that is light and bright. One that makes us feel welcome and comfortable. So it needs to be familiar and approachable &#8211; clutter-free and clean. Practical storage solutions like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/accessories\/baskets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">baskets<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/hallway-furniture\/coat-racks-hooks-stands\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">coat racks<\/a> are perfect for our hallways. They provide handy spots for hanging coats, storing shoes, stowing away winter accessories or holding dog towels.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8434 \" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/untitled-1-9755712.jpg?resize=74%2C25&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"untitled-1-9755712\" width=\"74\" height=\"25\"&nbsp;\/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/hallway-furniture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Accessories<\/a> too, help an entrance to feel warm and welcoming. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/accessories\/rugs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Patterned runners<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/accessories\/lighting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">beautiful ceramic lamps<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/accessories\/garden\/doormats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">characterful doormats<\/a> will add personality <em>and<\/em> practicality. We understand that colour is an incredibly subjective subject, but we always like to suggest a few shades we would recommend for your home. Beautiful soft greys, muted neutrals and light blues will help to tick that &#8216;light and bright&#8217; factor &#8211; perfect if your hallway is slightly smaller.

We&#8217;re all for making this space feel a little more special though. Whatever the size of the space you&#8217;re working with, lots of natural and practical accessories will help to transform it. We love <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/rvk_loves\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rebecca&#8217;s<\/a> utility room, and how it&#8217;s been transformed into a space that is not only well-thought-out and practical, but beautiful too. Painted in Farrow &amp; Ball&#8217;s <em>Downpipe<\/em>, it&#8217;s the perfect room to step out of your comfort zone and be bold with darker hues. Whether it&#8217;s a small space or not, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/kitchen-furniture\/utility-room\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">laundry room<\/a> doesn&#8217;t really need to be bright (like the kitchen or bedroom) &#8211; so choosing a neutral shade isn&#8217;t essential.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8434 \" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/untitled-1-9755712.jpg?resize=74%2C25&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"untitled-1-9755712\" width=\"74\" height=\"25\"&nbsp;\/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">It&#8217;s a word we&#8217;re using a lot, but practical it must be. Not only because of its overarching purpose but also because, generally speaking, our utility rooms aren&#8217;t big spaces. Floorspace may be limited, so think about the layout and what you need for it to be functional. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/hallway-furniture\/coat-racks-hooks-stands\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shelving<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/accessories\/6-hook-rack\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">peg hooks<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/accessories\/raw-oak-towel-ladder\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ladders<\/a> are terrific options for smaller spaces. Rather than having a row of cupboards taking up unnecessary floor space, give yourself more by opting for two or three long shelves instead. If you like cupboards or units for the &#8216;out of sight, out of mind&#8217; approach, try using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/accessories\/baskets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">baskets<\/a> perched on shelves instead. Not only do they hide a multitude of sins, but they&#8217;re perfect for adding a warm and rustic feel to the room.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>The Home Office<\/strong><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8413 \" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/untitled-5-1-6422663.jpg?resize=74%2C36&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"untitled-5-1-6422663\" width=\"74\" height=\"36\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/home-office-furniture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8420 \" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/home-office-edit-1114803.jpg?resize=946%2C717&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"home-office-edit-1114803\" width=\"946\" height=\"717\"&nbsp;\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/home-office-furniture\/desks\/oakland-single-pedestal-desk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Oakland Single Pedestal Desk<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/accessories\/lighting\/lamps\/tripod-floor-lamp---natural\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tripod Floor Lamp<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/home-office-furniture\/desks\/lundy-stone-grey-double-pedestal-desk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lundy Stone Grey Double Pedestal Desk<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/accessories\/lighting\/lamps\/clarke-lamp-blue\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Clarke Lamp<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/accessories\/clocks\/newgate-light-mr-clarke-clock\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Newgate Clock<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/accessories\/baskets\/large-storage-basket\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Antique Wash Storage Basket<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/accessories\/rugs\/round-seagrass-rug\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Woven Round Seagrass Rug<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/accessories\/cushions\/william-morris-strawberry-thief-cushion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">William Morris Cushion<\/a> | F&amp;B <em>Green Smoke<\/em> | F&amp;B <em>Teresa&#8217;s Green<\/em> | F&amp;B <em>Card Room Green<\/em> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/living-room-furniture\/bookcases\/chester-grey-medium-bookcase\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chester Grey Medium Bookcase<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Whether you work from home every day, a couple of times a week, or have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/home-office-furniture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">study<\/a> that doubles as a spare bedroom when needed; it&#8217;s important to have a space that is effective and practical.
