All reviews
The entryway is the first room guests see and the last one you pass through before leaving the house. At Dims Studio you'll find entrance hall decor focused on hooks, knobs and mirrors: handcast brass hooks in floral and animal motifs from Doing Goods, wooden animal-shaped hooks from Wildlife Garden, and mirrors in many shapes from Kersten and &Klevering. Here you get an overview of types, materials, sizes and brands, so you can find the right details for your entryway.
What is entrance hall decor?
Entrance hall decor covers the furniture and wall decor that make the entryway functional and welcoming: hooks for coats and bags, mirrors for a last glance in the door, and doormats that greet your shoes. Our range is built around the three categories that take up the most space in a typical entryway: hooks and knobs, mirrors and doormats. Find more ideas for the whole hallway under hallway design.
The entryway is often one of the smallest rooms in the home, but also one of the most used, several times a day. That's exactly why it pays to think about both function and look: a good hook keeps coats off the floor, while a mirror or a colourful doormat sets the mood before you've even stepped fully inside.
Types of entrance hall decor
The range spans single brass hooks, full hook sets, cabinet knobs, mirrors in many shapes and colourful doormats. The type decides whether a product is mainly practical, decorative, or both.
Brass hooks
Brass hooks from Doing Goods are the largest single group in our range. They're shaped like flowers, animals, fruit and other motifs and are mounted individually on the wall, so you can compose your own pattern of several hooks in different shapes.
Cabinet knobs
Cabinet knobs are the smaller, round details most often used on drawers and cabinet doors, but they also work as miniature hooks for light items like keys or a dog leash. Doing Goods is behind most of the cabinet knobs in our range, in motifs like moon, starfish, seahorse and flowers.
Wooden hooks and knobs
Wildlife Garden makes wooden hooks shaped like animals, from pets to wild animals like polar bears, tigers and kangaroos. The wooden hooks have a warmer, more natural look than the brass ones and are a popular choice for the children's room and for entryways with natural materials.
Mirrors
The mirrors in our range come in many shapes: round, oval, heart-shaped and graphic zigzag mirrors. Kersten and &Klevering supply most of them, and several are designed for a last glance in the entryway before you head out the door.
Doormats
Doormats from GiftCompany and Kitsch Kitchen add colour and a fun first impression right inside the door, with motifs and texts ranging from graphic animal patterns to playful greetings.
| Type | Material | Example in the range | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brass hooks | Brass | Doing Goods floral and animal hooks | Coats, bags, towels |
| Cabinet knobs | Brass | Doing Goods moon and starfish knobs | Drawers, cabinet doors, light items |
| Wooden hooks | Wood | Wildlife Garden animal hooks | Children's room, natural look |
| Mirrors | Glass with frame | Kersten and &Klevering mirrors | Last glance before you leave |
| Doormats | Textile | GiftCompany and Kitsch Kitchen | Colour and welcome at the door |
Materials: brass, wood and glass
The material decides how durable the product is and what look it brings to the entryway.
Brass
Brass is the dominant material in our range of hooks and knobs. It's a durable alloy that patinas beautifully over time and suits both classic and modern entryways. Doing Goods casts its hooks and knobs in brass with a detailed, handmade look, where the surface often has a slightly uneven, tactile finish.
Wood
Wildlife Garden's animal hooks are made of wood, giving a warmer, more natural look than brass. Wood is easy to combine with other natural materials like baskets and rugs, and the many animal motifs make the wooden hooks a popular choice when the entryway also serves as a transition to the children's room.
Glass and mirror frame
The mirrors in our range consist of a glass mirror surface mounted in a frame that's often part of the design itself, as with the graphic zigzag mirrors or the organically shaped heart mirrors from Kersten.
| Material | Look | Brands in the range |
|---|---|---|
| Brass | Detailed, patinas over time | Doing Goods |
| Wood | Warm, natural | Wildlife Garden |
| Glass/frame | Graphic to organic | Kersten, &Klevering |
How to keep your entrance hall decor looking good
- Wipe brass hooks and knobs with a dry or lightly damp cloth to keep the surface clean without wearing down the finish.
- Screw hooks and knobs firmly into a solid base, such as plasterboard with wall plugs or directly into wood, so they can carry coats and bags without loosening.
- Clean mirrors with a glass cleaner and a soft cloth to avoid streaks.
- Shake out and air doormats regularly, and let them dry fully after rain so they last longer.
Entrance hall decor in practice
Most items in our range are easy to combine, whether the entryway is large or small.
Build your own row of hooks
Instead of a fixed hook rail, you can mount several individual hooks from Doing Goods in an irregular or symmetrical layout, so you decide the number, motifs and spacing yourself. Mount the hooks at a height that suits the household, typically around 150 to 170 centimetres from the floor to the top hook. The advantage of individual hooks over a fixed rail is that you can always add more if the family grows, or swap out a single hook if you fancy a new motif. See the full range of brass hooks and knobs.
Create a last glance with a mirror
A mirror by the door lets you check yourself before heading out, while also reflecting light back into the entryway, which can make even a narrow hallway feel more open. See the full range of mirrors.
Greet guests with a doormat
A colourful doormat from GiftCompany or Kitsch Kitchen is the first thing guests see, setting the tone for the rest of the home. See the full range of doormats.
Keep track of keys and small items
Brass cabinet knobs aren't just for cabinet doors. Mounted as a small row by the door, they become a practical solution for keys, dog leashes or a bag. See more ideas under key storage.
Entryway for a family with children
In an entryway that also needs space for the children's coats, Wildlife Garden's wooden animal hooks are an obvious choice. They can be mounted at a lower height so children can reach their own jacket and bag, while the brass hooks are mounted higher for the adults' coats.
Entrance hall decor and style
Because the entryway is often a small room, even a few details can change the whole look markedly.
A colourful, playful look
Combine several of Doing Goods' floral and animal motifs in brass for a lively, cohesive look. The motifs vary enough that you can mix them freely, but the shared material of brass holds the look together even when the shapes are very different.
A calmer, natural look
If you prefer a calmer entryway, stick to Wildlife Garden's wooden hooks in one or two recurring animal motifs, paired with a single mirror in a muted frame from Kersten.
A graphic statement
To make the entryway stand out, one of the graphic zigzag or churros mirrors from &Klevering is a safe eye-catcher, ideally combined with a colourful doormat in the same or a contrasting colour.
Sizes and mounting
Most of Doing Goods' hooks are compact, hand-sized details, while the cabinet knobs are even smaller and suited to narrower surfaces. The mirrors range from smaller round models around 20 to 30 centimetres in diameter to larger oval and zigzag-shaped mirrors that can stand as an independent eye-catcher on the wall. Doormats typically follow standard sizes and fit most entryways and hallways.
| Category | Typical size | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Single brass hook | Compact, hand-sized | Flexible layout in your own pattern |
| Cabinet knob | Small | Keys, cabinet doors, light items |
| Mirror, small | Approx. 20-30 cm in diameter | Discreet last glance |
| Mirror, large | Approx. 40 cm and up | Eye-catcher and more light in the room |
The brands behind entrance hall decor
Our entryway range brings together a small number of brands, each covering a specific part of the room.
Doing Goods
Doing Goods is the brand that takes up the most space in our entryway range. The Dutch brand designs brass hooks and cabinet knobs with a wide range of motifs: flowers, animals such as turtles, starfish, elephants and crocodiles, fruit and nature motifs like lemon, palm and cherry blossom, plus simple shapes like hearts and stars. They share a handcast finish that gives each hook a tactile, detailed look.
Wildlife Garden
Wildlife Garden is behind the wooden hooks in our range, shaped like a very wide range of animals, from pets like dogs, cats and pigs to wild animals like polar bears, pandas, zebras and kangaroos. The hooks are a natural, playful alternative to brass and are particularly well suited to entryways bordering a children's room. The large number of animal motifs makes it possible to build a whole row of hooks where each family member or guest gets their own animal to hang a coat on.
Kersten
Kersten supplies part of the mirrors in our range, including oval mirrors with a coloured rim, round marble-effect mirrors and heart-shaped mirrors. They share a simple, decorative look that fits several interior styles.
&Klevering
&Klevering, the Dutch brand, is behind the more graphic mirrors in our range, such as zigzag mirrors in several colours and the wavy churros mirrors. They're designed as independent eye-catchers on the wall, not just functional mirrors.
GiftCompany and Kitsch Kitchen
GiftCompany and Kitsch Kitchen supply the doormats in our range, with motifs ranging from graphic animal patterns like tigers to colourful text mats with a friendly greeting at the door.
| Brand | Category | Characteristics | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Doing Goods | Hooks and knobs | Handcast brass, many motifs | Flexible, personal row of hooks |
| Wildlife Garden | Wooden hooks | Wide animal range, natural material | Child-friendly entryway |
| Kersten | Mirrors | Simple, decorative look | Classic style |
| &Klevering | Mirrors | Graphic, colourful | Eye-catcher on the wall |
| GiftCompany/Kitsch Kitchen | Doormats | Colourful motifs and text | Welcome at the door |

Frequently asked questions about entrance hall decor
What's the difference between a hook and a cabinet knob?
A hook sticks out from the wall and is meant for hanging things on, while a cabinet knob is typically flatter and used to open drawers and doors, though smaller cabinet knobs can also be used for light items like keys.
How high should hooks be mounted in the entryway?
A typical height is around 150 to 170 centimetres from the floor, so both adults and slightly older children can reach. For younger children, individual hooks can be mounted lower.
Can brass hooks be used outdoors?
Brass generally withstands moisture better than many other metals, but our Doing Goods hooks are primarily intended for indoor use in the entryway.
How do I keep my brass hooks looking good?
Wipe them with a dry or lightly damp cloth. Brass patinas naturally over time, which many people see as part of the material's charm.
What mirror size suits a small entryway?
A smaller mirror around 20 to 30 centimetres in diameter is discreet enough for a narrow entryway, while larger mirrors from 40 centimetres and up work as a standalone eye-catcher if there's room.
Can Wildlife Garden's wooden hooks be used anywhere other than the entryway?
Yes, they're often used in the children's room thanks to the many animal motifs, but they work just as well in the entryway, especially if the rest of the home has a natural, playful look.
How many hooks do I need for my entryway?
It depends on the size of the household and the space in the entryway. A good rule of thumb is at least one hook per person in the household, plus a couple extra for guests and bags.
Can doormats from Dims Studio be used outdoors?
The doormats from GiftCompany and Kitsch Kitchen are designed to sit just inside or outside the door and should be protected from prolonged rain and direct sun to last as long as possible.
Are hooks and cabinet knobs from Doing Goods one-of-a-kind?
They're handcast in brass, which can give small, natural variations in the surface from piece to piece, but they follow a set design within each series.
Is entrance hall decor a good gift idea?
Yes, a single colourful hook or a small mirror is a quick, personal housewarming gift, and the recipient can keep building their row of hooks over time.
Can I combine hooks from Doing Goods and Wildlife Garden?
Yes, brass and wood mix easily if you want an entryway with several layers and materials. Many people use the brass hooks at adult height and the wooden hooks lower for the children's coats.
How do I choose a motif for my hooks?
Start with what's already in the home. Floral and nature motifs suit a light, calm home well, while animal motifs work well in an entryway leading to a children's room or a home with a generally playful look.
