Oh, hallways. It’s those tiny, narrow corridors that often become an unorganized dumping place for shoes, clothes, and the like. It’s easy to overlook them, as they’re the “middle child” of design. The good news is that it doesn’t necessarily have to happen this way. What if we jazzed up the corridor? It won’t feel as a simple path leading to more important rooms. You can get the best hall decorating ideas on our place.
I’d like to start by talking about colors. In some cases, hallways like to take up all of the darkness. Brighten up! Let’s paint! Do not be timid. Consider lime green. You might as well do it now. Consider a solution less permanent if, like many people, you do not want to go all out and be that house with ‘the green hallway. You’re in good hands with wallpaper – for both your walls as well as your back. There are many patterns available today that can make even the most unflappable person smile.
Lighting can transform a room. Lighting can make or break a space. Wall sconces can be arranged in a grid or you can go funkier with some string lights.
There’s a lot of furniture to consider, as you can’t just throw in a sectional. How about a console table that is thin? The perfect place to drop keys and the mail. What about a thin bench, and if the room is there? Like saying: “Yeah. I’m also able to comfortably sit in my hall and think about life.”
We’re not just talking about living rooms here – let’s make it personal! It’s time to get personal – gallery walls aren’t just for living rooms anymore. If you want to go down memory-lane with every step, line up photos of your family.
Mirrors in small areas are like magic. You can double the size of your hall without knocking out walls by using mirrors.
The texture will add depth, without taking much space. Rug runners are a cozy way to cover the floor and can be used as an opportunity for color or pattern.
A landing, a space that is extra-wide? Take a chance! Make a seat next to the bookshelf and it becomes an unexpected reading nook.
Never underestimate how scent can transform an area from “meh”, into “ahh”. You can achieve amazing results with a diffuser, or a candle strategically positioned.
Even those places you simply pass on your way between A and B deserve some love. It’s important to give your entire home some attention, including those areas you only pass through when going from A to B. Happy decorating!
The trick to making a boring hall look amazing is mixing up practical magic and personal flair. Don’t forget that you can use every square inch to your advantage. Be creative (within limits), enjoy yourself, and walk down the hall in comfortable slippers. Grab those doorknobs to show them some love.
