10 Ways To Dress A Hallway

Posted by The Painter's Place on

Hallways are often overlooked and seem to be the last place people are willing to decorate.  If we think about what hallways are, they are really just an area in a building or home onto which rooms open...like a corridor of doors. What do you do on the walls? Art? Photo Gallery? What is the right solution for such an awkard space?

We have you covered! Below are 10 Hallways that maximize space and look amazing...

  aa67da2c2f48611b8ad1c66432aa4368 This hallway is styled to perfection, we love the gallery wall of photos and the vignette area with dresser, mirror and rug. Fresh flowers and books are always a welcoming touch if the hallway leads to your foyer. 5a09303c018d643015aa16fd6cc261da Black or charcoal gray paint colours really pop against the white doors and trim, this look is so elgant you don't need much artwork. The cowhide mosaic rug is a nice piece to bring all of the colours together. A black and white fabric pattern works well too. f3aaa3e9088cc5c53d8555bd41eace85 The eye is leading directly to this dark wall at the end of the hallway, it distracts from the light taupe wall colour that almost blends in with the doors. The casual carpet runner gentle leads the eye to the photo gallery. A great place to present your favourite family photos. 0b62c97612b39c97482c77b83a57f5cb This modern hallway is more of a gallery style, photos hung low with large matting and gold pendant lights hanging to light the space...simple and stylish! 12e6aec8614cb5e4f5d36c09772909a8 Runners can be bold and their pattern might be enough to decorate the whole hallway, this soft wall colour and doors/trim combination looks amazing paired with this tribal carpet runner. 7353a3e789a1c587e69dfafb68e28514 A lot of us have laundry upstairs or have a closet we dream of moving it to. This barn door painted in a light blue really makes this hallway unique and hides the laundry perfectly. 26685c24843389f7ddf2272dcb7fb06a If we don't have a linen closet in the hallway, why not create one with an old narrow armoire or glass door cabinet. 6a2a8938636c894e5d41232ae828ef2d Some people enjoy putting wainscotting or a chair rail up on the bottom of the wall, this allows you to paint it out with trim paint to match all of the doors. It really makes the walls pop on the top half, the perfect compromise to a brighter colour. 0567f0ae6093d7b457125442b1a15329 This hallway is classic and has a warm cozy glow to it, from elegant sconces to lit artwork. The shelves create an interesting area with books, boxes and accessories collected from travels.
