Toile With a Twist

Designer Kristen McCory decorated this entire home around a color that honored her 99-year-old grandmother: Hot pink. It brought a palpable rush of energy and personality to the home, which was also packed with antiques and family heirlooms. We love the lighthearted air of the pink painted desk and baby blue wallpaper in this hallway, otherwise adorned in darker, antique decor.

Swirls of Marble

In this Victorian beach house in Rhode Island, interior designer Martin Lawrence Bullard was tasked with giving the 1820s home a "mad old aunt" aesthetic with a modern twist. The hand-painted, agate-like ­wallcovering by Robert Crowder & Co. bring dimension to the hallway and make the pair of 19th-century lithographs of etchings by Giovanni Battista Piranesi look cool and edgy.

Pastel Clouds

"This house already had charm and great bones, with period features including the stunning original tiles in the entrance hall," note Jordan Cluroe and Russell Whitehead of design firm 2LG Studio. The homeowners wanted to decorate the space to make feel like it'd been lived in for decades, but with a freshness modern take. This cloud-print, pale mint-hued wallpaper epitomizes that light, fresh feel.

Bold Stripes

For an an even fuller feel in the hallway, consider upholstering your walls instead of covering them in a canvas or paper. Alessandra Branca upholstered this hallway with a thin red and white striped print that asserts a polished French flair.

Mesmerizing Graphics

A graphic wallpaper adds so much dimension to a room, even if it's just two dimensional decor, as you can see in this hallway designed by Studio Razavi Architecture We love how this mesmerizing gray cube wallpaper draws upon the the shapes of the herringbone floors and painted wall peeking through the door to the dining room.

Garden Mural

Bring a floral hallway wallpaper to life with fresh blooms or tall cherry blossom branches. This is perfect for the entryway, where flowers will set the tone for the rest of your home. Designer Philip Thomas describes this space as a segue from the outdoors, "almost as if you are walking through a secret garden." The gold accents and purple accent add a nice punch.

Ombré Tunnel

"I love to use wallpapers in mundane spaces," says designer Fawn Galli. "Hallways, pantries, powder rooms all become moments of joy and funkiness. Areas of transition can be you enjoy spending time in." This ombre print by Calico Wallpaper boasts a calming, modern, and unique appeal, the transition from deep purple to pale peach mimicking the purpose of the space itself.

Monochrome Watercolor

This Catherine Kwong-designed space proves that monochrome interiors don't have to be moody nor boring. The hallway corner becomes both stylish and functional thanks to a modest reading corner and watercolor-inspired wallpaper.

Blush Pink Cocoon

"As the house evolves with us, it has been through many stages, acting not only as a home, but as a backdrop for our work as designers," say 2LG Studio's Jordan Cluroe and Russell Whitehead. "Its previous owners clearly had a passion for interiors as it had pink walls throughout," they add. The gorgeous blue carpet is a bold and modern play on classic design motifs. This, along with the baby pink walls, baby blue accent chair, and modern lighting are all it takes to set the tone of the home.

Painted Perfection

Here's another entryway moment that makes a strong case for graphic, eye-catching prints. And while it may look like a wallcovering at first glance, it's actually a hand-painted masterpiece by the homeowner and interior designer Devin Kirk. "It took me more than 100 years," he quips. "I started at the top and worked my way around, using linoleum blocks to mark the design, which I then filled in with a paint brush." Why the DIY? "I had been looking for a special, bold wallpaper, and couldn't find any I loved."

Black Lacquer Design

New Age Chintz

More traditional wallpaper patterns look incredible when paired with offbeat and unexpected architecturally modern furniture and decor pieces. Designed this way, "even a classic like de Gournay doesn't take itself too seriously," says designer Danielle Colding. The House of Hackney pink wallpaper in this hallway designed by Black Lacquer is brimming with fun and style.

Large-Scale Mettalics

Interior design Kristin Kong mixes far-out '70s style, traditional schemes, and contemporary splashes in her home just outside Atlanta. We get a taste of the trippy patterns to come from this gold large-scale printed wallpaper in the entry.

Dainty Florals

We're only in the entryway of this home designed by 2LG Studio and we're already getting a strong sense of the theme: flower power, confident use of color, and plenty of light pouring through.

Repeating Motifs

In this Manhattan family home, New York designer Bachman Brown Clem created an entryway with a purpose. "I always feel an entry should be assertive, not restrained," he shares. The circle motif extends beyond the fun blue wallpaper, speaking to the rounded console, antique vases, curved mirror, and blue archways accentuated with a high-gloss trim.

Small but Mighty Arch

You don't need to have a huge canvas in the foyer to pack a lot of punch. In fact, small spaces are the perfect place to experiment with a bold wallpaper (and they're more affordable to cover since they're less surface area to cover). In this one designed by GRT Architects, the ombré wallpaper makes the arch pop.

Pure Elegance

The hallways in this Pacific Heights townhouse, decorated by San Francisco-based designer Catherine Kwong, feel polished and elegant with an underlying spirit of fun that shines through in the patterns. They took inspiration from the homeowner's print-rich wardrobe as well the look books of her favorite fashion designers, from Dior to Erdem.

Palm Print Statement

What wallpaper roundup is complete without a palm print? In Lindsey Lane's 1940s Palm Beach bungalow, the foyer got a major refresh. The lush, leafy wallpaper from Hilson "feels like you're being engulfed by the jungle," Lane tells us. The navy front door and rattan lanterns also speak to the tropical setting, while the rose gold pendant adds a sleek angle.

Pops of Electric Blue

Designer Lynn Uhalt found inspiration in classic Parisian apartments for this New Orleans loft space. The Louis XV-style painted bench upholstered in a nice plaid print plays into the color scheme of rich caramels and chocolate brown punctuated by an electric shade of blue. It's a lovely blend of upbeat whimsy and regal, traditional design.

Child-Like Joy

Why wallpaper the walls when you can make an even bigger statement on the ceiling? The element of surprise makes it all the more stylish. We love how interior designer Barrie Benson used a whimsical print on the hallway ceiling in this family home to ensure that it doesn't feel stuffy.

Upbeat Energy

Interior designer Amanda Lindroth gave her Palm Beach pied-à-terre a major upgrade with Brunchwig & Fils's iconic Les Touches pattern. We love how this little corner asserts a sense of place with the vivacious punch of orange, which contrasts nicely with the black, white, and blue details. Now this is how you make a hallway pop.

Neutral, Not Boring

Every nook and cranny in this Manhattan apartment designed by Katie Lyndon is beautifully decorated, including the awkward hallway corners and stairwells. "In New York City, space is limited, and every spot's needs are so specific," she says. And wallpaper is a transformative decor solution since it doesn't take up any valuable space but injects loads of personal style.

Cheeky and Bright

A hallway that doesn't get much traction is the perfect place to explore wild prints and bold colors. If you're pretty much the only person who walks through it, why not cover the walls in something wild that you love? We're digging the lipstick print wallpaper in this space designed by Philip Thomas.

Pastoral and Quirky

Color stretches all the up to the rafters in every room of this home designed by Thomas Jayne and William Collum. "The goal was a traditional country home with eccentricities a modern ben," they say. The wallpaper in the entrance hallway is the perfect transition from the calm garden oasis outside to the colorful, formal, and quirky living room.

Old Meets New

The splatter paint-inspired wallpaper against the old stained glass wooden door gives this foyer a 21st century spin. "We wanted to maintain the strong heritage of the architecture, whilst bringing it up to date with our new take," say the designers of 2LG Studio.

Absolute Cohesion

Covered in a geometric blue wallpaper from floor to ceiling, this hallway designed by John Fondas packs fun into every single corner. If you look closely, you'll see flecks of orange in this hallway wallpaper and the little shapes are made up of illustrated bamboo, speaking tot he other materials and colors throughout the space.

Wallpaper for the hallway (60 photos), how to choose - tips and design ideas

Entrance hall - an intermediate zone between residential and non-residential spaces. It would seem that a small area of ​​​​the room, which usually varies from 2 to 4 sq.m., does not allow you to go wild in interior design and develop a design that will immediately create a positive impression of the entire apartment. But this is not so, you can stylishly decorate this space, and well-chosen wallpaper for the hallway will help you with this. nine0005

Types of wallpaper, their advantages and disadvantages

In the hallway and corridor, additional requirements are imposed on the wallpaper, unlike other rooms. This space is the least protected from street dirt or dust, so the most durable and versatile types should be preferred. Consider what options exist in the modern market.

Paper wallpaper for hallway

The traditional and simplest type of wallpaper, which was widely used before the advent of new varieties. Paper wallpapers are environmentally friendly, breathable and very easy to stick. Another attractive plus is the relatively low cost, especially compared to other types. nine0005

However, this option will not serve you for a long time: wallpapers are not very durable and resistant to mechanical damage and moisture, and their service life is usually limited to 10 years. In addition, they cannot be washed in case of contamination.

Giving preference to paper wallpaper in the hallway is only worth it if you are financially limited or plan to change the situation in the house every few years.

Vinyl wallpaper for hallway

This type of wallpaper is considered more reliable and durable than paper, and is a two-layer dense coating. The key function here is performed by a layer of PVC, which is applied to the base (paper, non-woven or other types) and protects it from moisture, light, and partially from mechanical damage. nine0005

Modern vinyl wallpapers are often made with special micropores that make them breathable and washable when needed. Another plus can be considered a long service life - from 10 to 20 years.

However, this variety cannot be called environmentally friendly and harmless due to the synthetic compounds that are present in the composition. But since you are choosing wallpaper for the hallway, such a drawback does not seem significant, especially if there is frequent airing. In addition, vinyl wallpapers are distinguished by an affordable price that corresponds to universal characteristics. nine0005

Non-woven wallpaper for hallway

As the name implies, this type is based on interlining - a material based on cellulose fibers, which is also called "improved paper". And for good reason: although non-woven fabric resembles paper, it is more resistant to moisture and mechanical damage, allows air to pass through, and is also able to cover irregularities on the walls.

Non-woven wallpaper is often used for painting, which can be done more than once. Their relief provides great opportunities for design solutions, but it also easily collects dust and can be damaged by careless handling. nine0005

In addition to a rather high price, you will also have to spend money on gluing - a special glue is used for non-woven wallpaper, and the paint "eats" additional funds.

Textile wallpaper for entrance hall

As far back as Classicism, the walls of the houses of noble families were decorated with richly decorated and textured fabrics. Now this material is also used for gluing, but in the form of textile wallpapers, which are still considered not cheap pleasure.

This type has high aesthetic characteristics and easily creates a cozy, noble atmosphere in the interior. In addition, the wallpaper does not leave noticeable seams and looks like a solid canvas. nine0005

Alas, the beautiful appearance is overshadowed by the impracticality of the material, which collects a lot of dust, burns out and requires a special approach when cleaning. For a hallway, wallpaper of this kind seems like an unnecessary luxury, but you should start from the style and your desires first of all.

Stylistic solutions

We sorted out the types of wallpaper and their technical characteristics, now let's talk about aesthetics. Let's say that in the interior design of a house you have given preference to some style and want to create a holistic image. In this case, even the wallpaper should match the concept and create an attractive image. Consider the basic styles that will look great in the hallway. nine0005

Classic style hallway wallpaper

This style is associated with luxury, color restraint and sophistication. Both plain and richly decorated wallpaper with floral, heraldic and other motifs can be used. Particular attention should be paid to the material and, accordingly, the type of wallpaper.

Textile wallpaper is directly related to the era of classical style and, perhaps, it is in this interior that they will look most harmonious. Non-woven wallpaper with a variety of reliefs is also perfect. Such a style solution will fit perfectly into a spacious hallway. nine0005

Contemporary hallway wallpaper

Modern style is a rather vague concept, but its main feature can be considered the opposite of "traditional". This implies functionality, restraint, lack of piling up of details, smooth lines and purity of colors. At the same time, the print can be the most diverse - geometric patterns, realistic photo wallpapers or monotony.

This hallway wallpaper is not just a decoration in the interior, but also able to transform the space, following practical purposes: simple straight stripes will raise low ceilings, and a bright pattern on one of the walls will create accents. nine0005

Wallpaper for the hallway in Provence style

Reflecting the beauty and comfort of the French villages, the Provence style is able to immediately create a good impression for those who just set foot on the threshold of the apartment. It is easy to convey this spirit and mood even in such a small and practical room as a hallway by choosing the right wallpaper.

Choose warm pastels that look a little sun-bleached. The traditional pattern for the style is a “small flower” or a cell. nine0005

Scandinavian style hallway wallpaper

Minimalistic, spacious, bright and cozy - the Scandinavian style has conquered many people, and has also decorated more than one modern home. Despite the restraint, in this stylistic decision, you can afford to experiment and combine different types of wallpaper.

It would be appropriate to look at one wall with patterns against a background of plain and light, or wallpaper that imitates different materials. Give preference to cold and muted shades, Scandinavian ornaments and smooth textures. nine0005

Wallpaper color for the hallway, which one to choose?

An important role in the interior is played by the color range of wallpapers, because it is the color that creates the mood and atmosphere in the space, and can also visually transform it. We suggest you pay attention to the following color variations.

White wallpaper

Being a kind of "magnet" for dirt and dust, white color seems very impractical and not durable. But look at it from the other side: white wallpaper in the hallway will create a feeling of cleanliness, spaciousness and comfort, and dark pieces of furniture and decor against such a background will look even more bright and attractive. nine0005

Black wallpaper

Many are afraid of black, considering it gloomy and narrowing the space. Indeed, such a coloristic solution is hardly suitable for a hallway with a small area, but black wallpaper in a spacious room with properly selected furniture will look stylish and mature, creating the comfort of a chamber space.

Blue wallpaper

Deep and unobtrusive color that will fill the room with freshness and cleanliness. Blue wallpaper in the hallway is a versatile option for small and large spaces and makes a great backdrop for wooden pieces of furniture. nine0005

Gray wallpaper

Another "dangerous" color that is avoided for fear of creating a dull or dull atmosphere. And absolutely in vain! After all, gray wallpapers are best combined with other colors. By choosing the right tone and diversifying it with patterns, you can create a stylish and modern design.

Beige wallpaper

Perhaps one of the coziest and warmest shades, which is perfect for the hallway and immediately creates a pleasant impression. Beige wallpapers are recommended to be used in the interior with the same restrained and natural tones: brown, gray and white. nine0005

Choosing wallpaper for a small hallway

Unfortunately, not everyone can afford a varied and colorful design in a space of 2-3 square meters. m. Often, choosing the wrong wallpaper can not only spoil the interior, but also focus on shortcomings, in particular small sizes.

To avoid this, when choosing a wall covering, try to give preference to light pastel shades, which will visually expand the space and let in the missing light. nine0005

Matt surfaces without reliefs are best suited for a small hallway. It is also recommended to avoid wallpaper with complex ornaments, but if you really want to, it is better to decorate one or two walls with them, and do the rest in a monophonic manner.

What wallpaper color is suitable for the hallway?

The first impression of the interior of the apartment is already formed on the threshold, so the wallpaper for the corridor and hallway should please both residents and guests of the apartment. It is important to remember that street dust and dirt accumulate in the hallway, so the wallpaper should not be too light and easily soiled. Strongly dark colors should also be abandoned, since in the hallway there is already insufficient natural light due to the lack of windows. nine0005

Wallpaper texture

One of the most practical options is washable wallpaper, since there are plenty on the market. Vinyl wallpapers are the most common among this type of wallpaper. Dirt in the structure of vinyl wallpaper does not penetrate into them, but simply dries on the surface, after which it can be easily wiped off with a regular rag. With the development of industry, new types of wallpaper appear.

To finish the corridor and hallway, wallpaper is often used that imitates stone, wood, leather and other finishing materials by tactile sensations. Wallpaper manufacturers achieve a striking similarity in relief with natural materials. nine0005

You can choose wall papers that are resistant to solvents and can therefore be repainted many times. Dirty areas on cullet can be scrubbed with a brush without damaging the material.

A non-standard idea for hallway wallpapers is the use of natural materials in their manufacture. Such wallpapers are made to order in accordance with the wishes of the client and are quite expensive, but they deliver aesthetic pleasure.

Recently, liquid wallpaper has been widely used. They are non-toxic, and their advantage is good contact with the walls, a pleasant texture to the touch, the possibility of repainting and resistance to external influences, as a result of which paper wallpapers usually peel off from the wall. Due to its unique composition, liquid wallpaper fills small cracks and depressions in the wall, which saves on leveling and plastering walls.

It happens that serious irregularities are visible on the walls. In this case, embossed wallpaper will help to mask the bumps. Adding pieces of aluminum foil to the texture of the wallpaper will give ordinary paper wallpaper a metallic sheen. Foil can be glued to the wallpaper with your own hands, adding a little imagination. Handmade will always be appreciated by others. nine0005

Wallpaper for a small hallway should not be chosen with large patterns, as they reduce the already small space. Visually increase the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe hallway will help wallpaper with a small pattern or with a projection effect.
