Your front hallway is often the first thing people see when they enter your home, so it’s important to make a good impression. Hallways are often areas where people dump keys, sling off their shoes and hang coats, so it’s easy for these areas to be neglected. Thankfully, I’ve got some unique and stylish hallway decoration ideas that will help you do just that. From wall art to flooring, color and furnishings, you’ll never be stuck for hallway inspiration.
One of the most important things to consider when decorating your hallway is the flooring. This is because it’s one of the first things people will see when they enter your home. If you have a beautiful hardwood floor, make sure it’s protected with a good quality rug. Not only will this add style and comfort to your space, but it will also help to protect your floors from dirt and wear.
Another great way to make a good impression in your hallway is with some well-chosen wall art. If your hallway is quite narrow, go for something slim and vertical like a series of photographs or prints. You could even frame some family photos to really personalize your space. If you’re looking for something a little bit different and eye-catching, consider glass wall art, like this “BETTER TOGETHER” glass flower installation that can be customized to transform your hallway.
This glass flower installation draws the eye up a stairwell, or along your hallway which can be really effective to draw your guests in and make them feel welcomed and at home. And because they’re made of glass, they twinkle and gleam where the light catches them.
Furniture is another important consideration for your hallway. A small console table or sideboard is perfect for placing keys and other items when you come through the door. A coat rack or hooks are essential for hanging coats and umbrellas. If you have the space, a bench is a great option as it provides somewhere to sit and maybe even take off shoes before entering the rest of your home.
When it comes to color, light and bright always works well in hallways as it makes the space feel bigger and more airy. However, white walls also work well if you want to create a more Scandinavian feel to your home, and you can add a splash of color using wall art like “EXTEND”
“EXTEND” is one of my larger glass art murals, measuring 57.5 x 32 x .5” so is a great choice to fill those larger walls in your home.
Your hallway is a space that needs warmth and impact, setting the tone for the rest of your house. It has the potential to create a lovely vignette in your home, a brief moment of art, color and personality as you pass through the space.
