Have you ever walked in a home and thought the hall was only a passageway? This doesn’t need to be the case. The hallway can do so much more. They can be transformed into vibrant, personal spaces with a little creativity. Keep reading to find out more about how to decorate a hallway.
Let’s start with color. Paint will be your friend. You can make a focal point by adding a splash of color to one wall. Consider rich, deep greens and blues. You can go bold with a wallpaper or mural that has patterns. It’s almost like giving your hall a new lease of life.
Lighting is also important. Think outside of the box and forget those boring ceiling lights! You can enhance the elegance of your home with chandeliers or pendant lights. Try LED strip lighting along floorboards and under shelving for a contemporary touch. You can have your very own runway in the comfort of your home.
Storage is important in halls, especially if there’s limited space. You can use floating shelves to display books, plants or quirky items you have collected through the years. Don’t forget the hooks. The addition of a stylish row hooks to your coats or bags can help keep them organized and add character.
Mirrors can also be a game changer. Mirrors not only reflect the light but make an area look larger. Choose an oversized, ornately framed mirror for that WOW factor or combine smaller ones to create an eclectic look.
Hallways are a great place to display artworks. Make a gallery with pictures, prints, or paintings that reflect your personality. To keep things interesting, mix up the sizes and frames. Think of this as your mini-museum.
Don’t forget about flooring! Rugs are a great way to break up stretches of tile or floorboard and change the feel underfoot. Choose a bold geometric pattern or classic runners with neutral colors. It’s up to you what you like.
Who says that furniture can’t be used? Slim console tables can be functional and stylish without taking up too much space. Add some flowers to a unique vase, or place some books on the bottom for an easy browse.
The hallways are no exception! If sunlight is limited in your hallway, choose low-maintenance plants like snake or succulents. If you have limited floor space, hanging planters can be a great way to add some greenery.
Do not underestimate the power and appeal of fragrance! Place scented or reed diffusers strategically in the hallway to make it more inviting.
Don’t forget that the little things matter, too. Door handles, switches and skirting boards, for example, can add to the aesthetics of a room if they are chosen carefully.
Include personal touches whenever possible – a clock vintage from grandma? Perfect! You know that quirky umbrella stand at the flea market you bought? Absolutely!
Take it slow and you’ll succeed! Change out lighting fixtures and then paint colors.
You now have a wealth of inspiration to turn your hall from an ordinary corridor into a stunning space that will make you proud every time someone enters your house!
