OHMA - Brazilian Climbing. The intuitive paths of the favelas guided the intervention in this internal staircase, a dynamic journey in three stages – each with its own color palette – representing the beginning (earthy tones), the crossing (burgundies, pinks, and reds), and the arrival (neutrals, blues, and greens). Aligned with the theme of the exhibition, the space created by architects Nicholas Oher and Paloma Bresolin invites reflection on the typical collective power of our communities, capable of nurturing dreams and making them come true. The rich selection of design and artworks weaves together different languages in order to construct a narrative about belonging and reinvention.

The entrance hall is the transition point between the outside world and the interior of the house — a space that, although small, has a symbolic and functional role! More than a passage area, it creates the first impression of a home, reflecting the style, energy, and even the rhythm of the inhabitants.

In recent years, interior projects have revived the value of this space with a bolder and more expressive proposal. Investing in a colorful entrance hall is a way to highlight the identity of the house right from the start, exploring combinations that evoke sensations, increase light, and welcome with charm and originality.

The Power of Colors in the Entrance Hall


Colors have the power to transform the perception of spaces, especially in compact projects. In the case of the entrance hall, they can both create a feeling of spaciousness and establish a more intimate and cozy atmosphere. The intelligent use of vibrant shades on walls, doors, or decorative details redefines the space and makes coming home more engaging.

Beyond the aesthetic impact, color influences the emotional state. Soft tones, such as greens and blues, convey serenity. Warm colors, such as yellow and terracotta, bring vitality. By combining contrasting shades (for example, light walls with colorful furniture), it's possible to create an elegant and inviting focal point without losing visual harmony.

Palettes That Enhance the Entrance Hall


Before choosing a color, it is worth thinking about the style and the feeling that the entrance hall will convey. Below are some palettes that inspire different atmospheres.

Earthy Tones


Colors such as terracotta, clay, and caramel create a warm and sophisticated atmosphere. Earthy tones are ideal for those seeking a hall with natural character, connected to organic aesthetics and raw materials.

Pastel Colors


Lavender, mint green, and light blue brighten the space and reinforce a sense of lightness. They work very well in smaller halls, where it is important to maintain visual spaciousness.

Vibrant Palette


Mustard yellow, coral, and petroleum blue add energy and personality. When used on half walls or in details like frames and baseboards, they create a contemporary and dynamic visual.

Neutrals with Contrast


Beige, gray, and white come to life when combined with colorful elements — a wine-colored bench, a mirror with an olive green frame, or a patterned rug may be enough to update the project.

Elements That Reinforce the Character of the Project


The color is the protagonist, but other elements help build the character of the entrance hall. Functional furniture, such as console tables and benches, can take on an aesthetic role when they have striking designs or colorful finishes. Frames, lamps, and plant pots complete the composition, adding visual layers and reinforcing the style of the inhabitant.

Materials and textures are also important allies. Wood paneling, geometric wallpapers, creatively laid floors, and even ceiling painting help create a cohesive and expressive space. The secret is to balance visual impact with flow: the hall should surprise without clashing with the atmosphere of the house.
