Hallway Ideas - 31 Best Hallway Decor Ideas For Your Home

Little Greene, Carpetright, House Beautiful/Brent Darby

The hallway can often be the most neglected area of the home, overlooked when it comes to design and decoration in favour of those rooms we use most often. But everything from the colour on your walls to the materials underfoot can create a warm welcome for you and your guests.

'Hallways are the most important transitional spaces within our homes so whatever we choose to do decoration-wise has to work perfectly with the other rooms that lead off it,' says Marianne Shillingford, creative director at Dulux. 'This decorating dilemma often results in us being super cautious with colour and using neutral pale shades which can flatten the atmosphere, creating a space that is simply a functional corridor that no one really lingers in or remembers.

'You need to break down the visual boxiness of the space and add focal points of interest that make it a more dynamic part of your home to be in. '

Whether you have a dark hallway or a cluttered dumping ground, take inspiration from these hallway decor ideas, and expert tips and tricks to help you make the most of your space.

Hallway ideas: use art

Just because a hallway is a transitional space, doesn't mean it should be neglected when it comes to dressing with art or accessories.

'Always walk around the space and you will feel the natural spots for art to be,' says Camilla Clarke, Creative Director at interior design studio Albion Nord. 'This may be next to a window or at the end of a corridor. Remember art doesn’t always need to be hung on the centre of the wall it can rest on top of tables or layered next to sculptures or on bookshelves and joinery.'

Hallway ideas: go for laminate

Your choice of flooring will have a bearing on how light your hallway feels. Opting for pale wooden planks will create the illusion of more light and space, but go for a wood-effect laminate instead of the real thing– anything sealed will make a high-traffic area a little more resilient, and effectively reflect light into a darker space.

Hallway ideas: feature storage

When it comes to hallway storage, so many of us will look to narrow consoles, low benches, or wall-mounted cubbies – but with these pieces, functionality often supersedes form. Provided your hallway is wide enough, there is no reason why you shouldn't go for more feature furniture, like a beautifully designed chest of drawers.

Hallway ideas: pops of colour

A small hallway doesn't have to mean a dull hallway, says Emily Dunstan, Buyer at Heal's, nor do you have to stick to white paint to make it feel brighter and bigger. 'Don't be afraid to experiment with colour, especially in a light-starved space; confident use of a bright colour such as yellow creates a welcoming and vibrant space. If you don't want to go all out and paint your walls bright yellow, try adding a few bold accessories such as hooks or benches to get a similar feel.'

Hallway ideas: rethink your design approach

When tackling a hallway redesign, think of your space as you would any other room. It's not simply a transitional area to hang your coat – hallways will benefit from a considered use of paint, softening rugs and runners, wall art and accessories as much as any other room.

Hallway ideas: the illusion of space

'Create the illusion of space by adding mirrors,' says Emily. 'They reflect light, making the space seem wider and brighter, as well as giving you the chance to double check your appearance before you walk out the door.'

Hallway ideas: extra seating

If space allows, seating can be a useful addition to a hallway. 'It could be the perfect spot to escape to relax and read, somewhere to chat on the phone or simply a space to wait for others to put their shoes on. You could choose a statement chair and table to create a proper seating area or use a bench option instead,' says Emily.

Hallway ideas: try adding colour

'Hallways are typically smaller spaces, so we can afford to add more colour as we are merely passing through to our main living spaces,' says Gillian C. Rose, colour scientist, interior designer and founder of The Science of Colour. This warm sunshine shade is a particularly good choice for an uplifting welcome.

Hallway ideas: creating a palette

The size and length of a hallway should always be a key consideration when selecting a colour palette.

'For a warm glow, the skirting could be a clotted cream colour (high gloss finish), the walls could be in a soft butter yellow (flat finish), and the ceiling could be a hint of peaches and cream (flat finish). For a fresh, cool bask, the skirting could be a crisp light grey (high gloss finish), the walls in a pale minty colour (flat finish), and the ceiling the palest of azure (flat finish),' says Gillian.

Hallway ideas: WFH space

Under stair space can be more than just a cupboard for household debris. Forgoing the extra storage and opening it up can create new opportunities, such as a seating area to relax in or a modest desk and chair to provide a compact work from home space.

Hallway ideas: conscious styling

'As a transitional space within the home, it’s important that the hallway is clutter- free, well-lit, and consciously styled in-keeping with the rest of the interiors,' says Shelley Cochrane, Accessories Buyer at Furniture Village. 'The key to striking the perfect balance is to choose furnishings and décor that are both beautiful and functional – think slim-line consoles and storage benches to tidy away essentials, and handy wall mirrors for last-minute touch ups. '

Hallway ideas: layering lighting

Transform a dark hallway with carefully positioned lighting, says Emily. 'Directional wall lights can highlight a beautiful ceiling, and pendant lighting can be really effective in making a small space feel much bigger. A single pendant light can have the opposite effect, leaving too many shadows and patches of darkness. Instead, opt for multiple pendant lights running the length of your hall. This will draw the eye into the space and feel much warmer and inviting.'

Hallway ideas: try scandi-inspired

'Hallways, by nature, are typically dark. Brown, green, grey, telephone box red, and any of the primary colours in full hue, are all ones I would avoid,' says Gillian.

Instead, try a subtle scandi-inspired palette with a spectrum of clean whites and pale woods.

Hallway ideas: add a runner

Whilst tiles or wooden floors are the easy-to-clean option in a high-traffic hallway, slipping your shoes off onto a cold floor isn't terribly welcoming.

'A hallway runner can offer comfort as well as being the final touch that brings the design elements of your hallway together,' says Emily. 'Choose from a variety of colourways, patterns and textures. Think about whether you want to make a statement with your runner or whether your flooring is the centrepiece. If it's the latter, a more muted rug, such as natural jute, might work better. Don't forget to add an anti-slip mat underneath.'

Hallway ideas: vertical storage

'Ensure you have enough storage for everyone in the home to have a couple of pairs of shoes in the hallway, plus room for guests to leave theirs when they arrive,' says Emily. You can get a bit creative with storage in small spaces, employing a narrow locker like this Mustard Made design.

Hallway ideas: window dressing

'Blinds can be used to add a pop of colour and visual interest in the hallway where there is less wall space for other decorative elements. Introduce a window blind with an on-trend botanical design to bring the scheme right up to date. You can introduce texture to a neutral hallway with digitally printed window blinds. The result is a simply stunning showpiece for windows,' says Mike Stephen of Apollo Blinds.

Hallway ideas: indoor/outdoor connection

'Whether or not you are near a garden, you may want to consider bringing one in by using soft lettuce leaf shades,' says Gillian. 'I would recommend a dull flat finish as this creates gentler shadows and softer reflections. However, if you wish to create a more dramatic environment, then by all means select colours that conjure up strong, immediate emotional responses – deep aubergines and plums will do just that.'

Hallway ideas: protecting against scuffs and scrapes

Regardless of the paint colour you choose, it's advisable to invest in washable paint for a hallway. 'This way, any muddy splashes or little fingerprints can be easily wiped away. Alternatively, wood panelling can help to keep your walls in good condition. Try to opt for panelling that suits the age and history of your property,' says Emily.

Hallway ideas: playful tiling

Whilst narrow hallways benefit from large format floor tiles in highly polished and light-reflecting finishes, large or open-plan hallways allow more freedom.

'Play around with designs that draw the eye from the door and into the heart of the home. A beautiful parquet herringbone pattern is perfect for fooling the eye into seeing never-ending depth, while still keeping a traditional, warm and homely feel to the overall look,' Topps Tiles explain.

Hallway ideas: the ultimate hallway plant

'The Fiddle Leaf pops up on our feed as the ultimate statement piece for a hallway – what a welcome! The large, beautiful violin-shaped leaves are thick and leathery, the stem is substantial and robust. It prefers the indirect sun so by a door is often the perfect place,' says Maddie Porritt, Head Buyer at The Stem.

Hallway ideas: paint tricks

Clever painting techniques can help make a narrow hallway seem bigger. 'Use a lighter colour at the top of the wall, and halfway down – where a traditional dado rail might have gone – change to another colour. But always with small rooms, use light coloured paints and furniture, to help give an illusion of more space,' says Cato Cooper of The Emporium Somerset.

Hallway ideas: don't fight with the layout

Hallways can frequently be a bit of an architectural nightmare, with cramped proportions, uneven flooring and an absence of natural light, but trying to alter the structure of a hallway can pose more problems than it solves. The most we would suggest is dispensing with unnecessary partitioning to create a more expansive space, and using panes of glass in a front door to encourage natural light.

Hallway ideas: introduce fragrance

Use fresh flowers in a hallway to introduce a welcoming fragrance. Lisa Lewis, a Home Staging Consultant at Stylize, says: 'Having plenty of natural light in the hallway signifies a warm and happy home. Continue this happy state by keeping the entranceway clear and add a beautiful vase of real flowers to represent life and growth.'

Hallway ideas: balance walls and floors

If you use a feature floor tile with abundant pattern and intricate design, consider a fresh white palette for the rest of the room. This can be particularly effective in long and narrow hallways where busy floor tiles can guide the eye to the rooms beyond.

Hallway ideas: making the most of space

Kelly Collins, head of creative and in-house interior designer at Swyft Home, suggests reconsidering the traditional uses of a hallway. 'Transitional spaces are those parts of the home that we use to get from one to another, such as hallways, corridors and landings. Often there is quite a lot of wasted space here which could easily be big enough for a reading area. Recessed reading nooks, such as under the stairs or by transforming a built-in cupboard area can also be a great idea,' says Kelly.

Hallway ideas: hard-wearing floors

'Make sure you opt for a smart choice of flooring and something that's hardwearing. A porcelain tile will help to minimise any deterioration while still allowing homeowners to maintain something stylish and design-led, thanks to the choice in prints and patterns that they come in,' advise Topps Tiles. 'Porcelain or ceramic tiles offer practical solutions and are available in a range of styles and colours to suit any design scheme. Wood-effect porcelain tiles are an excellent alternative to real wood, visually identical but unaffected by everyday use and much easier to maintain.'

Hallway ideas: statement storage

Unless you have a separate porch it's likely you will still need somewhere to hang your coat and other accessories. 'Modern coat stands can bring a funky element to contemporary hallways and may better resemble a modern sculpture piece than a traditional coat stand, giving you an interesting new talking point for visitors,' says Emily.

If floor space is of a premium, consider wall-mounted hooks. 'Colourful coat hooks can offer a playful alternative that will be less obtrusive than a coat stand but still offer the same functionality. Plus, they make a great wall feature too,' she adds.

Hallway ideas: use lighting purposefully

'Layering of light is key when it comes to creating the impression of space in your hallway. LED step lights can help by creating drama,' says Sally Storey, creative director of John Cullen Lighting. 'A useful trick is to use 1W LED uplights to light a feature at the end of the hallway. This will draw ones eye down the hallway, creating the impression of space. Combine this with directional recessed downlights, to wash light down the walls, illuminating every inch of your hallway.'

Hallway ideas: choose the right door

One of the best ways to brighten a dark hallway is to buy a new front door. Creating new windows is a structural challenge, but choosing a door with glass panes is the easiest solution. If you have a dark hallway to the rear of your property, you can use glass panels to the half shown here, or in a front door, simply choose a frosted or reeded glass for privacy.

The Underrated “Room”

If you need convincing on why your hallways deserve a little décor TLC, take a look at this excerpt from our professional hallway décor page:

Hallway Décor: Pro Tips

“It’s easy to ignore the importance of interior design when it comes to hallways. Corridors are often seen as a passageway from one room to the next, but they should be treated as a room of their own! Hallways are one of the most highly trafficked areas by guests, so you want to make a statement. Whether you prefer to showcase your love for family or stay true to your overall aesthetic, there are so many options for sprucing up your home’s hallways. The best part about redesigning your hallway space is that it’s super affordable! The small size of your hallway makes it even easier to make a maximum impact while spending very little.”

A simple way to make a major impact without breaking the bank is by hanging one of our trendy abstract-figure prints, curated by ElephantStock art director Tirzah Goodman.

A Splash of Style

We’ve consulted with top design experts to bring you inspiring hallway décor ideas. Beyond the addition of wall art, consider combining light, bright details with cozy accessories.

Hallway Décor: Pro Tips

ElephantStock's resident decor expert Elimar Lobo Sáenz expands on 2021 design trends:

“Shifting our daily life indoors has sparked a revitalization that has increased the importance of coziness and a harmonious flow. That’s why Nordic style keeps on rising, with light-colored wood and pops of color to brighten up the space. Combine organic materials and give your space a personal touch by including elements that represent your interest (such as a mini art gallery!).”

Elimar Lobo Sáenz provides additional décor advice based on this year’s top styles:

“Popular decor ideas include the concept of ‘live-able luxury.’ [ie combining practicality with panache.) Indoor plants are also a modern trend, as well as statement light fixtures. All of these trends work towards the same goal – expressing a message of strength and hopefulness, and creating a synergy between coziness, functionality, and the sense of comfort.”

A Balanced Color Scheme

You don’t need to go overboard with color in your hallway, but there’s nothing wrong with adding a few pops of color. Learn how to balance neutral tones and statement shades through our professional design tips below.

Hallway Décor: Pro Tips

Expert designer Yoko Chow, of Yoko Chow Design LLC, seconds the idea of combining neutrals and statement colors, and gives her tips on executing this trend:

“The combination of bright colors and neutrals are represented by a few popular styles today including Boho and Mid-century modern. With the Boho style, most of the space is filled with neutrals and highlighted by plants in vivid green hues. The mid-century modern style usually includes bright colors for a splash of color among a wood-toned space.”

Yoko Chow explains and emphasizes the importance of a well-balanced color palette:

“Neutral background colors should assist in prioritizing the color that you want to stand out. For example, if you have a blue side chair, you may want to consider an orange-toned neutral (complementary color of blue) to make the chair appear as blue as possible. It helps to be mindful of which features you wish to emphasize in your space; not only the color being introduced, but also in conjunction with the existing colors. "

Black and White Hallway Pictures

If you can’t decide on a color scheme, don’t fret! You can’t go wrong with black and white. Create a gallery wall of black and white pictures for a classy, foolproof look.

IDEAL FOR THE HALLWAY: 36"X75"

Large wall art that measures 36 inches by 75 inches in height and width can create a polished, classic look in your hallway. This wall art size works well in long hallways as well as over your entertainment area.

No matter what you decide, make sure your art isn’t too small for the empty space! The biggest design faux-pas is choosing a print that doesn’t fill enough of your hallway. When in doubt, go with a gallery wall!

Mud Room Organization System Replaces Traditional Closet

Closet Works

Keeping track of all the coats, shoes, backpacks and specialty gear for several small children can be an organizational challenge all by itself. Combine that with busy schedules and various activities like ballet lessons, little league, art classes, swim team, soccer and music, and the benefits of a great mud room organization system like this one becomes invaluable. Rather than an enclosed closet, separate cubbies for each family member ensures that everyone has a place to store their coats and backpacks. The look is neat and tidy, but easier than a traditional closet with doors, making it more likely to be used by everyone — including children. Hooks rather than hangers are easier for children and help prevent jackets from being to left on the floor. A shoe shelf beneath each cubby keeps all the footwear in order so that no one ever ends up searching for a missing shoe when they're in a hurry. a drawer above the shoe shelf keeps mittens, gloves and small items handy. A shelf with basket above each coat cubby is great for keys, wallets and small items that might otherwise become lost. The cabinets above hold gear that is out-of-season or infrequently used. An additional shoe cupboard that spans from floor to ceiling offers a place to keep boots and extra shoes. White shaker style cabinet doors with oil rubbed bronze hardware presents a simple, clean appearance to organize the clutter, while bead board panels at the back of the coat cubbies adds a casual, country charm.
