What are the best design options for narrow hallways?
Geometric patterns suggesting infinity, or a stunning feature wall, can add a sense of space to short, narrow hallways. In long, narrow hallways, large-scale patterns, material imitations and light colours decrease the "hose effect".
Short, narrow hallway
Small-scale, delicate patterns, in fresh, bright colours are the best choice for short, narrow hallways. Geometric designs which seem to lose themselves in infinitude are particularly interesting. Patterns with depth or a three-dimensional effect are another great option. A side wall can be turned into a beautiful feature wall with an unusual pattern wallpaper.
Long, narrow hallway
A long, oppressive hallway can be beautified with a fabulous pattern wallpaper. Imaginative designs cleverly distract the eye. Typographic patterns or stone/leather imitation designs are great examples. As a feature wall, the front wall of a long hallway can have a widening effect.
How can a small hallway be made to look more spacious?
The ceiling height determines how we perceive a room in terms of space. Small hallways with particularly high or low ceilings can be made to look wider and larger with some handy interior decoration tricks.
High ceilings
High ceilings often make the walls appear too large and seemingly endless, whilst not having a visually enlarging effect. A good solution is to create separate areas. For instance, applying a single-colour wallpaper with an interesting surface to the bottom third of the wall and a pattern wallpaper in matching colours to the rest of the wall can create the desired effect.
Low ceilings
Low ceilings require cunning methods to look higher. This can be achieved with wallpaper patterns that are arranged vertically, e.g. longitudinal stripes which become less defined in the top area, towards the ceiling.
What are the best options for a dark hallway with no natural light?
Light wallpaper colours introduce additional light into a dark hallway. If there are no windows, intelligent lighting with daylight lamps and suitable wallpaper types can make a huge difference.
Light colours for wall décor
Wallpapers with light base and pattern colours are the be-all and end-all for hallways with little or no natural light. Variations of cream and yellow are particularly "illuminating". Ideally, the base and pattern colours should match and/or merge. Strong contrasts or clashing colours are to be avoided. Wallpaper types with iridescent, shiny surfaces or 3D foils and glass bead wallpaper models reflect or scatter light, adding interest.
Lighting in hallways without windows
Sometimes, even light wallpaper colours aren't sufficient to give a hallway without windows a cosy character. An intelligent lighting concept which works with the individual layout and the functional aspects of the space is the answer. This might be, for instance, a row of theatre-type bulbs around the mirror by the coat rack or a modern light strip along the walls. Spot lamps set into the ceiling are also a great idea to add light to dark hallways. A lighting specialist can provide individual advice.
How do I choose the best wallpaper for my hallway?
Without a doubt, the entrance is an important area which draws direct attention. In order to provide visitors and guests with a positive impression, the chosen wallpaper design should reflect the authentic and unique individuality, taste, and mentality of the residents.
Modern styles
Modern wallpaper patterns are exceedingly varied and not tied to any particular specifications. Whimsical ornaments, black-and-white figures, or elegant geometric shapes are all fabulous pattern ideas for hallways. The design should give a glimpse of the rest of the home and pique the curiosity.
Concrete looks
Cool concrete adds an urban, stylish effect to a room. It is an expression of modern styles combined with a sense of permanence and durability. Concrete can be smooth or rough, brand new or weathered. There are many more than just 50 shades of grey, and they form lasting relationships with hues like corn yellow or fir-tree green.
Stone-look models
Stone looks can be cool, luxurious, or rustic, and the choices of stone imitation wallpaper models are just as multi-faceted. A sophisticated marble design fills a hall or stairway with an elegant aura. Brick looks are a great match for the country house style, but work equally well with urban loft styles.
Stripes
Stripe wallpaper models come in many different styles. Block stripes are amongst the classic patterns for hallways and stairways. Mediterranean stripe designs add movement and a sense of lightness to the walls.
Floral
Floral wallpaper creates green oases. There is no nicer welcome than one which incorporates floral elements reminiscent of nature. Flowers, branches, or trees - floral wallpaper models provide a warm reception.
Flock wallpaper
Show your style credentials! Glamorous shiny or silky flock wallpaper models, for instance in silver-black or beige-gold, demonstrate a penchant for luxurious interior design concepts and are predestined for hallways and stairways. Striped wallpaper models are perfect combination partners for flock models.
Glamour
Beautify the entrance area with glamorous wallpaper. Glossy patterns in gold and silver, sparkly pearls, and enchanting shimmer are all great examples for this style. As a welcome side-effect, they increase the effects of (day) light in dark hallways.
How can I decorate my cloakroom?
Washable design wallpaper models are a fabulous choice for unique cloakroom walls. Another highly creative solution is wallpapering furniture and creating fantastically unique specimens in the process.
Cloakroom wall
Wallpaper types with a robust and washable surface are the basis for striking cloakroom walls. This way, wet jackets and coats or dirty shoes will not leave irreversible marks. In terms of cleaning characteristics, super-washable or even scrubbable models are best.
There is a large array of cloakroom furniture and accessories available on the market for hanging and storing jackets, coats, bags, scarves and hats. From stylish stainless steel hooks to romantic Shabby Chic metal coat racks. The wallpaper design should match furniture and accessories. Branches or driftwood are also a stunning addition - and can even be practical elements for the cloakroom.
Wallpapering furniture
Simple, inexpensive furniture with clear lines and smooth surfaces is suitable for decorating with wallpaper. Create your unique cloakroom in line with your personal taste! Our guideHow to decorate furniture with wallpaperwill help you achieve splendid results with your DIY project. And it is a great activity for children, too: they will love beautifying their own cloakroom furniture with kids' wallpaper.
Special tip: Choose closed furniture and storage elements (i.e. not shelves or the like). This creates a sense of clarity in the hallway and prevents messiness.
Which wallpapers are suitable for stairways?
Stairways are prone to stains and damages and often exposed to direct sunlight. As a consequence, wallpaper for this busy passage area should be washable, robust and light-resistant.
Washability
Washable wallpaper models are available in four categories: washable, super-washable, scrubbable and highly scrubbable. The denser the surface sealing, the better its cleaning properties. Super-washable or scrubbable wallpaper types are particularity suitable in hand rail areas as water-soluble (and some fat-soluble) stains can be removed from them. Water-resistant wallpaper types can (with a few exceptions) be treated with a transparentprotective coating, making them suitable for cleaning with a damp cloth.
Durability
Stairways are busy areas - pieces of furniture are being carried up and down them, children move along them with toys and in pushchairs, not to mention pets running around. Therefore, the best options are robust, relatively tear-resistant wallpaper models with higher grammage. Premium-quality bamboo and grasscloth models are durable and even have a slightly insulating effect. Thin paper-based types or delicate foil models are unsuitable for busy stairways.
Light resistance
In order to ensure that stairways appear light and welcoming, they often have large glass/window fronts or, alternatively, clever lighting systems. The type and amount of light has a significant impact on the colours and visual effect of the wallpaper. Constant light irradiation, especially UV light, can lead to unwanted material changes, e.g. discolouration, yellowing, or tears and cracks. The higher the level of light resistance, the less negative impact the light will have on the wallpaper. In terms of wallpaper, the standard scale mainly refers to the light-fastness of colours and is divided into exceptional, very good, good, satisfactory, and adequate.
How do I wallpaper a high stairway?
To avoid accidents, stairways with high ceilings should be left to professionals with appropriate equipment (ladders, scaffolding). Only professional painters and decorators can ensure that this task is done safely and that the results are perfect.
Scaffolding
Wallpapering in staircases usually requires some form of scaffolding. The same is true for removing old wallpaper and preparing the surface. Ladders alone are usually unsuitable for high walls, tricky corners, and narrow steps. Wobbly home-made ladder constructions should absolutely be avoided as they are far too unsafe and can lead to serious accidents. The appropriate scaffolding has to be chosen, built, and secured by professionals. Laypeople are usually overtaxed with these tasks, which is why they should be left to professional painters/decorators.
Finding professionals
Wallpapering projects in stairways should always be carried out by professionals. They will provide a detailed quote with itemised costs for each element of the stairway renovation project. Amongst those are preparation, wallpapering, materials, scaffolding, time, and number of team members. It's always a good idea to get a number of quotes and some information about the various companies. The cheapest offer might not be the best one. First impressions and references as well as customer reviews are also important factors.
Tips: Fabulous ideas for hallways and stairways
- Black and White combos: Black-and-white patterns are currently extremely popular for stairways. In more spacious stairways, a black-and-white stripe wallpaper can be combined with a black-and-white lily pattern, to name but one example.
- Animals are also a fab choice for stairways: funny fishes, sleek seagulls, or cute koalas can all be found on popular modern wallpaper models. In order to emphasise the pattern motif, the base colour should be on the darker side.
- Adorning the risers with a striking pattern wallpaper will make you enjoy every step up and down your stairs. Our guideHow to beautify stairs with wallpaperwill provide you with detailed instructions on how to achieve this.
- A picture gallery in the stairway is still as popular as ever. However, it doesn't have to be a collection of ancestral portraits. Design wallpaper models with framed likenesses of the residents, or carefully chosen pictures of the flora and fauna of forests and fields can be an even better choice and provide real interest.

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.

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.

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."

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.

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.

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.
