Have you ever walked through your hall and felt it lacked a certain “pizazz”? We’ll jazz up the hallway decor ideas, then. The hallways in many homes are forgotten. They deserve to be in the spotlight, too. Let’s create a masterpiece on the blank canvas that lies between your rooms.
Let’s start with color. What a difference a little color can make! Think about a statement wall color. Have you ever thought about teal? Or maybe a deep plum? You don’t have to stick with the safe beige color when you can add some personality.
Mirrors. Mirrors are not just to check your hair as you leave. The hallway mirror will make the narrow corridor seem to stretch on for ever. It bounces the light, making a dark hallway into a path of brightness. Have you ever seen the funky geometrical mirrors? These mirrors are great conversation starters.
Next, lighting. Don’t flood the room. Consider the atmosphere. Add sophistication with sconces. String lights can create a warm, cozy atmosphere. Imagine a rustic chandelier in the center. Bam! Instant elegance.
Console tables combine storage with style. It’s slim enough to be able to slide in, but sturdy enough to store your keys, a vase with fresh flowers, or mail. For a coordinated look, match it to the theme of your hallway. Have an old trunk that is beautiful? Turn it into a centerpiece. The piece is both functional and historical.
Do not forget about the walls. The right wall art can make a huge difference. You can go intimate by using family pictures, or abstract and eclectic with paintings. The most boring hallway can be transformed into a gallery with a gallery display. If art is not your thing, then why don’t you try quirky wallpaper instead? The use of patterns can add depth to the room and give it a lively feel.
Who said you couldn’t put a carpet in the hallway? The texture and warmth of a runner will add to the room. Choose one that can withstand foot traffic, but isn’t too “heavy duty.” The piece de résistance of your hall decor can be something colorful with a pattern.
Oh, the greenery! The plants bring life to any space. Consider hanging planters or small potted flowers on a console. These plants make a space look and feel inviting. Choose low-maintenance flowers and plants for a stylish, easy look.
Have a family motto or favorite quote? Your secret weapon could be vinyl wall decals. The designs are available in a variety of sizes and fonts. These designs add a touch of elegance without taking up any floor space. For maximum effect, place them eye-level.
How about a chair with an unusual design? A comfortable chair can serve as a great place to take a break or tie your shoes if you have the space. A throw pillow will make a cozy corner.
Don’t forget about hooks and shelving. You can use them for more than just their intended purpose. You can be creative. Style hooks can be used for bags and coats to add personality. Floating shelves can display trinkets, souvenirs, or even more plants.
Here are some ideas to transform your hall from boring to fabulous. Imagine it as your red carpet. It will reward you for your efforts with its style if you show it some affection. Next time you walk through the space, make sure it smiles at you.
