Make The Most Of Your Hall Space

Your hallway is a special part of your home. Afterall, it’s the first place you see when you walk through the door. But is your hallway living up to its full potential?

Your hallway can be designed to impress, but it can also feature some useful storage too if you use the space well. With a little creativity and some elbow grease, you can create the perfect hallway that’s ready to wow anyone who walks through the door. Here’s a few of our favorite tips for getting the most out of your hallway space.

Choose a color that’s going to last

Hallways are notoriously difficult to paint. High ceilings, tricky corners and angles - it’s not something you want to paint very often! That’s why choosing the right shade of paint is so important. Choosing a neutral color could be your best bet for your hallway, with gray and gray/beige being particularly popular in this year’s hottest color selections. If your hallway has a lot of light, you can be a little more daring with a darker shade, or a light tone can help brighten up your space.

Make your flooring beautiful

Your hallway will get a ton of traffic, so it’s important to think about your flooring carefully. Carpet is usually not the right choice here! A beautiful wooden floor can be grand and inviting and if you take the time to restore yours, it could help you make the most of your home’s natural features. Walnut is particularly popular at the moment and has a nice contrast against lighter walls, while oak provides a more neutral style that will suit most decor aesthetics. 

Accessorize with a show-stopping chandelier

A stunning statement chandelier makes the perfect addition to your hallway. Investing in a striking Murano chandelier is a great way to bring a classic touch to your hall that gives your home a more luxurious and expensive feel overall. Chandeliers add some grandeur to your home, but as they’re a pricey item, get it installed professionally. A lamp in a complementary style can also add that luxury touch to your hallway.

Finish it off with stylish accessories

Accessories will complete your hallway and help bring together the overall look. You can find some great inspiration for decorating your hallway, including some ideas for storage solutions and decorative items. Some vases, florals and even candle arrangements can bring some life into your space. Your hallway is also a great place to display photos and artwork, so you can really make your hallway your own by adding those personal touches.

The hallway is often be under appreciated compared to the rest of a home’s interior, but it’s also one of the spaces that can make the best impression. These simple touches can help transform your space and give you something to smile about whenever you walk through your door.
