Name This Space/CCC

CCC

 

Just off my foyer is a neat little space. It has pocket doors, a coat closet (rare for South Florida), a linen closet, and doors leading to the guest bedroom, guest bath, and study. It measures about 9 feet by 6 feet. With the pocket doors, guests can close off this entire wing of the house for 100% privacy. What is this space called? I never know what to call it.

A vestibule?

A hallway?

An anteroom?

Inquiring minds want to know - LOL.

I want every square inch of my home to be beautiful and decorated. There is no reason this has to be dead space. 

The Chinoiserie Hallway

A hallway, so often overlooked,  can be a perfect spot for Chinoiserie.

Greek Key Trim

Horizontal stripes on the walls and a patterned slipper chair happily coexist with the Greek key trimmed curtains in this hallway.

Pink and Green

The Colony Hotel - Palm Beach

Green banana leaf carpet with pink and white wallpaper in trellis and stripes in this very Palm Beach hallway. And how about this banana leaf gown?

Blue and White

One does not often see large scale wallpaper in hallways, but this use of Clarence House The Vase wallpaper is quite dramatic.

The Chinoiserie Hallway

A lovely upstairs hallway in the last DC Designer Showcase by DC interior designer Christopher Nutter with hand-painted Chinoiserie walls,  Chinese Chippendale chairs, and lovely touches like the velvet lumbar pillow embellished with Greek key grosgrain ribbon and a Chinese lantern atop a Chinese garden stool.
