Tips to decorate a Great Hallway

Hallway ideas & inspiration

The hallway is generally the first thing that guests see when they arrive at your home. Thus, ensuring that the hallway looks amazing should be a priority for any homeowner. Here’s some tips foe perfect hallway.

Hallway furnishing ideas

Some people want to completely redecorate their hallway, with new colours and tasteful patterns that instantly give guests a good impression of their living space. Others are just seeking a great new light fitting or hallway table to lift the look of the first room in the house.

Hallway storage space

Many people overlook the potential of the hallway when it comes to providing storage space. However, if you are canny about where you put your hall furniture and use the space beneath the staircase well, your hallway can become a highly useful and capacious storage space without ever feeling cluttered.

Hallway furnitures

As hallways are generally relatively small spaces in the home, it is vital to ensure that they do not appear cluttered. But that does not mean that you need to eschew furniture completely! An elegant table with a telephone or lamp on, a small basket where you can keep your post, a vase of flowers on a dresser, or even a couple of chairs (if you have space) with plush cushions for guests to relax on can all turn your hallway into a beautiful part of the home.

Perfect staircase design

A spiral staircase, for instance, is a very striking detail to have in the home, and lighting can be used to emphasise its presence in the hall.

Staircases have such an intriguing shape that it stands to reason to turn them into a centrepiece in the hallway. Standard staircases that just go straight up to the next floor are, on the other hand, generally great for providing lots of hallway storage. Whether you want to make your staircase stand out loud and proud in your hall, or whether you prefer to try and minimise its effect so as to foreground your hallway furniture or other aspects of your hall.

Styles for hallway

A modern style hallway, for instance, is great for giving a chic first impression whilst a rustic hallway will help you to create an old style welcoming feel.

One good rule of thumb for designing a hallway is to think about what style the rest of the house is decorated in, and then to ensure that your hallway matches the house. Though, of course, whilst your head is buzzing with style ideas, you could always take the opportunity to redecorate a few other rooms in your home, along with the hallway.

When it comes to a minimalist style hallway, for instance, far from (as critics sometimes suggest) there being nothing to it, the minimalist style can actually feel very substantial.
