Ideas for Painted Hallways | Benjamin Moore

It’s time to upgrade this utilitarian space with hallway decor, from gallery wall art, to a delicate settee, to a just-right entrance table. Add in our hallway paint ideas and get ready to transform these diminutive spaces into colorful, eye-catching corridors.

Hallways and other small spaces create a color story from room to room. Read on to see some of our best hallway paint colors based on six different hallway styles.

1. Neutral Hallway Paint Colors: Versatile & Classic

“Neutral hues provide optimal versatility and flexibility between the hallway and the rooms it connects to,” says Arianna Cesa, color and design expert at Benjamin Moore. Some of our favorite neutrals and grays for hallways include Wind’s Breath OC-24, Collingwood OC-28, and Silver Chain 1472.

For hallways connected to rooms in blues, greens and purples, look to cooler grays or River Reflections 1552 and Amherst Gray HC-167.

If your home tends towards warm tones–reds, oranges, yellows–try warmer neutrals or white paint colors with warm undertones. Favorite warmer neutrals include Sparrow AF-720 and Edgecomb Gray HC-173.

Here, Soft Satin 2164-60, a subtle pink, gives this hallway a wink of personality while maintaining the adaptability of a neutral. This hallway's color palette is a beautiful combination of white trim and earthy brown Driftwood 2107-40. This shows how thoughtful color combinations can make even the most overlooked spaces charming.

2. White-Painted Hallways: Crisp & Clean

White paint colors are a steadfast choice for hallways, but why not mix and match?

“Layering different white paint colors on walls and trim creates contrast and depth,” says Arianna.

Check out a few of our favorite white paint pairings for hallways, and home decor in general:

In this sleek, minimalist hallway, Super White OC-152. Oversized contemporary art and a wooden bench add to the gallery-like vibe of the space.

3. Accent Walls: The Ultimate Hallway Wall Decor

Longer hallway? Amp up the drama and draw the eye with a wow-worthy accent wall. Here, Tomato Red 2010-10 delivers an eye-catching focal point in a sunlit corridor.

Trim, in rich, dark hues provides an elegant design element in any interior space. Ebony King 2132-20, seen here, not only outlines the striking statement windows it pulls the sightline to the bright red feature wall at the hallway’s end.

Other hallway accent wall colors we love include Charcoal Slate HC-178, Pinot Grigio Grape CSP-460, and Wasabi AF-430, from our Affinity® Collection.

4. Show-Stopping Hallways

If you use bold paint colors throughout your home, why not pull your zest for color into the hallways?

Connect multiple spaces using vibrant hallway hues right from your front door. Consider a saturated hue like Delicate Rose 2008-50 to brighten up any hallway, and use pink-tinged Whitewater Bay OC-70 on the ceiling for a perfect pairing.

Other paint colors we love for statement-making hallways include Tea Room AF-270, Stokes Forest Green 2035-40, and a favorite Benjamin Moore dark color, Van Deusen Blue HC-156.

“Whether you go with bolder color or not, if you have a vestibule or entryway that is separated from your hallway, consider painting both the same color for continuity,” adds Arianna.

5. Hallways Without Natural Light

When it comes to windowless hallways, your selection of warm or cool light bulbs is critical since lighting always sets the mood.

For a dark, dramatic hallway, look to hues like Flamenco CSP-1195, Champion Cobalt 2061-20, and Caponata AF-650. Use dark glamour design touches like opulent wall sconces and luxurious runners to set off deep jewel tones, and add mirrors for extra dimension.

Looking for airy paint colors as a substitute for natural light? Layer lighter and mid-toned paint colors. Here, Pashmina AF-100 on the far wall buoyed by Vapor AF-35 on the side walls create an elegant, welcoming corridor.

While there’s no single best paint color for a dark hallway, illuminating colors we love include Lychee AF-40, Silken Pine 2144-50, and Swiss Coffee OC-45.

6. Hallways with Stairs

"If you have a multi-level home, it's important to consider the colors used on both floors when choosing a stairwell hue,” says Arianna.

Monochromatic neutrals blend effortlessly in the contemporary space shown here. In the living room downstairs, Tamarind AF-120 offers a dusky, deep hue, with Steam AF-15 bringing fresh balance to the stairwell and upper walls.

      Tom Ferguson

      Just a guess, but the word you'd use to describe your hallway probably isn't one of these: striking, dramatic, gorgeous, warm, intimate, exciting. But it could be! It's all about knowing what hallway color you should choose as your backdrop. Keep reading to get inspired by fifteen beautifully decorated hallways along with designer tips and paint color suggestions to transform all your transitional spaces.

      Brown

      "I always think it's a mistake to try to make an interior room look brighter with white," says interior designer Tom Stringer. "I'd rather make it dark and interesting." His go-to dark color is Benjamin Moore's Van Buren Brown HC-70, which resembles semisweet chocolate chips. "It doesn't feel dark to me, just intimate and enveloping," he says.

      Baby Blue

      Designer Darren Henault has a probing question for the world: "Why do people treat hallways as a lonely, pathetic passageway?" His cure is adding seating, "even if nobody's actually going to sit." This makes it feel comfortable and inviting. In this space designed by Arent & Pyke, the soft blue accent color softens everything up while the striped barrel chair brings in a modern touch.

      Bright Yellow

      "Usually, hallways don't get much sun, so I like yellow—a color that emanates warmth and light," shares designed Marshall Watson. "It won't take on that gray pallor that white and beige or tan can acquire when there's no window around," He explains. Then consider hanging a series of black and white photographs, as repetition works well in a corridor, he suggests.

      Black Blue

      "I like black in a small hallway. Clients think you're crazy at first, but it's very romantic," Elizabeth Brauer tells us. "Do sconces or a chandelier on dimmers, because you don't want bright light flooding the walls." In this hallway designed by Arent & Pyke, the deep shade of navy still has a lively spirit to it.

      Brown Gray

      Kim Alexandruik's motto is to "go for impact. " She encourages you to consider the hallway a playing field for bold accents, like unusual seating and colorful artwork that may be harder to integrate into other rooms. Her color of choice is a "putty-colored gray, with a hint of pink and lavender. Not too light, so it doesn't go vapid," says Aleandruik. Use this hallway designed by Mally Skok as inspiration.

      High-Gloss Green

      "To reduce that long tunnel effect, you have to dematerialize the walls," says designed Maureen Footer. She suggests lacquering them to reflect light and get that shimmery glow. These high-gloss green walls in a hallway designed by Christina Murphy are such a fun surprise.

      Beige

      "A hallway should be the reverse of what's happening around it," says designer Birch Coffey. In this home designed by Arent & Pyke, the front door is painted a lively orangey-red color, so the entry hall softens things up with a muted pewter. Coffey likes Benjamin Moore's Revere Pewter HC-172. "This seagull gray doesn't scream for attention, yet it has presence. Light, yet deep enough to look sharp with a contrasting trim," says the designer.

      Light Gray

      "Remember those boutique hotels with hallways so dark they made you feel like a mole? I think the drama should come from your art, and the paint should be fresh and light," says designed Betsy Brown. A nice in between neutral is a gorgeous backdrop for sculptural mirrors and unique lighting, as seen in this hallway by Arent & Pyke.

      Blush Pink

      A light, delicate pink that provides just a touch of oomph looks surprisingly good when paired with more modern, streamlined, geometric pieces. It also works brilliantly in playful, eccentric spaces, like this one designed by 2LG Studio. The pink color makes it feel open and bright while the elaborate, saturated blue runner grounds it.

      "Hallways without windows can and should be mysterious," asserts Susan Zises Green. She recommends trying a a deep blue with a lot of green that's wet and languid, like this glossy transitional space designed by Studio DB. Green also suggests carrying it up the ceiling to make it feel like a cocoon.

      All White

      Sometimes white really is the best option. "I like to use white in a space that has no natural light," shares Lisa Jackson. Her favorite is Farrow & Ball's All White 2005 because "it's not too blue, not too pink, not too yellow." She also says "there should always be a focal point at the end of a hall—a console table, a fabulous chair..." In this one designed by Jess Bunge of Emily Henderson Design, our attention is drawn to the minimalist mirror.

      Dark Gray

      People are often afraid of dark colors. But it's just paint, bottom line. Try it. You'll like it," Sue Burgess reminds us. Her favorite dark paint color is Benjamin Moore's Taupe 2110-10, which is a rich chocolate-y brown. You could also opt for a moody gray hue like this one used by Arent & Pyke. It's sullen and serious yet exciting and fresh. Plus, it pairs beautifully with a ton of color schemes.

      Cream

      "There's just something about white that feels very pure and fresh and doesn't compete with the rooms off the hallway," Alex Papachristidis tells us. The designer usually opts for Benjamin Moore Cloud White 967, using different finishes for the wall and trims to create subtle contrast. The soft white in this hallway designed by Hecker Guthrie allows us to focus on the striking blue carpet in the room ahead.

      20 Designer-Approved Concrete Floor Ideas

      11 styles, the right choice of shade, combination in the interior and painting options

      The hallway is the room that is the hallmark of the whole house. Therefore, its design should be considered in the most careful way. In this article I will talk about the color scheme of the hallway. I will tell readers about what color scheme is suitable for a given room, how to correctly combine the color of the walls with furniture and design, and I will give practical advice on what to consider when choosing a color.

      What to consider when choosing the color of the hallway walls

      The hallway has the most traffic. Therefore, the walls there get dirty the most.

      Choosing the shade of the walls in the corridor, first of all, select washable finishes. It can be both paint and washable wallpaper. When putting on shoes, or dressing, we hold on to the walls with our hands, leaving dirty shoes and wet clothes there.

      There is also high humidity in the hallway: wet clothes, shoes, umbrellas, open doors to the bathroom.

      Whatever color you prefer, either paint or wallpaper should be moisture resistant and preferably with an anti-fungal coating.

      When choosing the color of the walls of the corridor, follow the tips and recommendations:

      1. If you like light white, due to the greater contamination of the walls in this room, it is better to give preference not to a snow-white tone, but to ivory, beige, etc.
      2. The choice of color depends entirely on the height, dimensions of the room, as well as on the lighting of and the number of fixtures. If the hallway is poorly lit, give preference to light colors. If there is enough natural light, then you can paint the walls in darker colors. Walls two or more tones lighter than furniture will visually enlarge the corridor.
      3. Do not combine more than three tones in one room . Whatever colors of walls, furniture, interior items you choose, the color scheme should vary within no more than three shades.
      Due to the potential contamination, it is better to choose a color other than white

      Popular styles and their inherent tones

      The choice of color for the hallway depends on the style of the interior:

      1. Modern , or classicism is in perfect harmony with natural light shades. Different options for white: noble ivory, beige, light brown colors will come in handy in this style direction.
      2. Baroque goes well with rich pink shades, White and gold will also be appropriate.
      3. Rococo is in harmony with browns and pastels. Golden elements will also create a successful tandem with the main color scheme in this style.
      4. Fashion style Empire style does not tolerate halftones. The color scheme should be bright, most often these are all shades of green, turquoise, light blue and blue.
      5. Idea minimalist calls for grays and creams, black is fine too.
      6. Pop Art forces the use of an exceptionally juicy, fresh and rich palette. Sunny colors will do.
      7. Hi-tech prefers metallics. The style is in perfect harmony with all shades of gray. A combination of contrasts is appropriate in this style: black and white.
      Fashionable style does not tolerate halftones, the color should be bright

      Combination and color options

      If you want to make your hallway fresh and juicy, use a lemon or blue palette, burgundy or green shades. A sunny range of yellow and orange is also suitable for these purposes. There will never be a dull moment in such a beautiful room.

      Those who prefer the classics should pay attention to terracotta tones, light brown colors. This option of painting the walls gives them sophistication and nobility, moreover, this color scheme is not easily soiled.

      Smoky, ash and silver tones are the most versatile and can be successfully combined with bright colors.

      Experienced designers recommend using a color scheme for the walls that is slightly lighter than the shade of the furniture. Too dark tones, it is recommended to dilute with light tones.

      Walls with vertical lines in any color scheme will visually elevate the ceiling, and a horizontal pattern on the walls will help to expand the hallway. Horizontal stripes will make the ceiling visually lower and the room itself wider.

      Walls with vertical lines on any color scheme will visually raise the ceiling

      An entrance hall in light colors is a classic of the genre in an apartment. But the combination of dark colors is a new fashion trend. But dark colors tend to narrow the space. A hallway in dark colors will look somewhat smaller. But on the other hand, dark shades are fraught with a certain mystery and power.

      A dark color scheme is appropriate to use in a spacious hallway with large windows. A successful tandem is a combination of black and purple. Such a room will look elegant, with a touch of mystery.

      trendy corridor shades, blue or lilac

      Hallway. This space plays an important role. Already at the entrance to it, one can feel the harmony, the mood reigning in the house. Here we meet dear guests, friends who have dropped in for a cup of tea. I want to create the perfect interior here. To do this, you need to choose the right color.

      Since entrance halls are often small in size and at the same time they form the first impression of the home, one should approach the issue of their design carefully.

      When choosing colors for the corridor, consider all the nuances, especially the corridor footage and its layout. Not everyone can boast of a large room. Most often, the hallway is either too small or very long and limited in width. If you like dark shades, especially brown, then visually the width will decrease even more.

      Cold colors are best suited for a small corridor: white, pale chestnut, azure, ivory, silver, haze, light brown, grayish.

      When deciding on a color, take into account the area and configuration of the room.

      The most acceptable design is light brown and gray. Their highlight is neutrality. What it is: a shadow falls on a milky one - a grayish one is formed, and gray in combination with yellow gives a light brown.

      Colors depending on the interior style

      Classic style. Many people follow this direction. It is not difficult to create it - paint or wallpaper is used to decorate the walls. This style is characterized by a wide range of colors, a combination of large elements, images, ornaments, and uniformity. In some cases, it is more expedient to decorate the hallway with panels - this is one of the most commonly used finishing options today.

      Choosing the shade of the walls in the corridor, first of all, select washable finishes.

      This style is characterized by the following combination: grayish with light brown, sandy with milky, dark with red, chestnut with red, light purple with light brown, milky with azure.

      With a small footage, it is more correct to choose one of the above tones, and it is better to refrain from designing 3D, large drawings. If you live in a private house, the color should be soft, calm, otherwise it will seem that the walls are crushing. No one likes this feeling.

      Whatever color you prefer, either paint or wallpaper must be moisture resistant and preferably with an anti-fungal coating.

      For decoration, use wallpaper of higher quality than paper. These include non-woven, glass, vinyl, but they also cost a little more than usual.

      Walls in a small hallway are best decorated in light and warm colors, they will significantly expand the space.

      Modern style. Haven’t decided yet which tone to choose, but want to design it in accordance with fashion trends, the following materials and coatings will do.

      • Natural and artificial stone of remarkable, colorful colors (intense gray, purple, dark, burgundy, chestnut).
      • Red brick with visible seams.

      Brick. With it, you can decorate all the walls in the hallway or apply only partial decoration and create a rather unusual design in the hallway.

      • Pistachio, dark, azure, bluish, scarlet, red, greenish colors are used. If the hallway is spacious, you can combine colors with soft, neutral tones. Interior and decorative paints are suitable for any style.
      • You can apply subtle, soft shades individually. Of these, light brown, milky, light yellow are often used.

      A dimly lit hallway should be decorated in bright colors.

      Additional information. If your main goal is to visually expand the room, then paint or decorate the side walls with the lightest colors or finishing materials. Refrain from large elements, massive pieces of furniture, large niches - this will visually significantly reduce the hallway.

      Retro style. The use of stone is an acceptable option. It is permissible to use stones of various sizes here. The main requirement is that objects have relief outlines, be bulky, with rigid contours. This will allow the wall covering to look natural, realistic, as in the old days.

      Whatever colors of walls, furniture, interior items you choose, the color scheme should vary within no more than three shades.

      A distinctive feature of this direction is the use of natural decoration and established colors. The most suitable colors: light brown, milky cream, chestnut, sandy. Contrast and brightness are not allowed.

      As for materials, use wallpaper, paint, as well as stones that imitate unevenness, attrition. The same result will give decorative plaster. Although it is expensive, it is used sparingly.

      Embossed surface with various patterns, perfect for decorating any style.

      Scandinavian style. This direction is characterized by an abundance of light. It is worth using neutral, soft, cool colors, bright colors are unacceptable. The selected shade is recommended to be diluted.

      Stylistic design allows not only to create a fashionable interior, but also to reflect taste preferences.

      Don't focus on just pale grey, light brown. Sandy, light yellow, azure, golden shades are ideal. With a small area, this is the best option that deserves attention.

      Hi-tech. This style is no less popular in our time. Its key areas include the presence of elements of niches and metal decoration in the hallway.

      Uncomplicated and simple types of functional finishes emphasize the fundamental features of this trend.

      Dark tones are characteristic of the style: dark, greenish, dark azure, silver, etc. The use of stones, wallpapering, coloring are not excluded.

      Country style. A few words about colors. The most suitable.

      • Dark brown matte colors, textures with imitation of streaks - the most acceptable option.
      • Light brown and snow white tones.
      • Light yellowish and white rough flats.
      • Recommended color and texture combination.
      • The background is better neutral, with the addition of colorful elements - this is necessary.

      The room is expanded due to mirrors, arches, large passages.

      Each style is unique and interesting in its own way. Thanks to its features, it helps to create a unique interior.

      Note. If you cannot decide on your own, contact the experts. They will help not only to choose the style, but also hide all the shortcomings of the room, create the perfect interior.

      Why a corridor needs to be beautiful

      This room needs to be beautifully decorated just as much as other rooms. This is like a “visiting card” of the house, so the design should be approached thoroughly.

      Backgrounds and patterns should not be too contrasting in hallways with large wall areas.

      In addition, the corridor requires a lot of space for outerwear, shoes and other accessories. But all this should be combined with decor. There is a large area for him - this is a wall. By designing this surface, where there are no clothes, you can radically change the atmosphere here.

      To transform the area at the front door, consider these points.

      1. Compact - here the dimensions are smaller than in other rooms. In this regard, it is worthwhile to correctly approach the placement of the necessary items, create a design that visually expands this area.
      2. Thoughtfulness. After returning home from work, I want to plunge into comfort. Therefore, the design of the corridor should evoke only positive emotions, and the furniture should be cozy and multifunctional. Consider choosing a place for outerwear, shoes, mirrors to be comfortable.
      3. Quality. Choose high-quality materials, they will last a long time, and low-grade ones are unreliable, they will soon need to be replaced. Pay attention to the moisture resistance of the material, ease of cleaning.
      4. Beauty. Every room in the house should correspond to this word. If you yourself want to make repairs in the corridor, work hard on the interior so that it matches the style of the entire apartment.

        Make the floor darker than the walls and the ceiling lighter than the floor. In this way, the proportions of the room are visually preserved and the space is not hidden.

      What color is better for the corridor

      Starting the repair, I want to carry out all the finishing work in a quality manner, to choose the best design. But sometimes there are difficulties with the choice of colors. The best option would be the shade that will be combined with the home environment, interior and color of other rooms.

      White. Many are sure that this color is not suitable for the hallway, that it is not entirely practical. Stylists are convinced that entering the white corridor improves the mood, and this is a strong argument in favor of white. In addition, the room visually increases. Of course, everyone finds their own advantages and disadvantages in milky color. But if you really wanted to decorate the interior in this way, you should not give up your desires.

      This wall design is an excellent option for small or narrow spaces.

      Light green. Green and its shades are gaining more and more popularity. When choosing a shade of green, the design you have conceived is also important. The corridor is small, light colors are ideal: light green, mint, grayish green. Appropriate finishing materials and decorative elements should be used.

      Light green wall decoration is very trendy, trendy and modern. With its help, you can bring incredible freshness to the interior.

      Please note! This color is basic, and what tone is better to choose, be guided by the footage and shape of the corridor, the type of lighting.

      The brightest colors of green can also be used for a large corridor. But you need to be careful, as its overabundance can cause an aggressive attitude. More saturated green shades are also suitable - darkish green, yellow-green, especially with high ceilings and original layout.

      The surface of the wall, highlighted with an unusual texture, bright color or pattern, is a special interior technique that guarantees an excellent result.

      Inserts will give a peculiar effect. It is more correct to perform colorful inserts on a neutral background. This kind of contrast will make the room larger or visually make a large corridor smaller.

      Light. The shade of coffee with milk is preferred by most as the most practical. Light brown decor and furnishings are perfect for different styles. Perfectly combines with dark chestnut, cream, light green.

      A well-placed mirror, by adding perspective, will give the room spatial depth and spaciousness.

      Let's designate some pluses of a light shade.

      • Decorating in these colors, including floors and ceilings, requires fewer lighting fixtures.
      • Light color perfectly hides irregularities and masks flaws in planning.
      • Perfectly combines with all colors, which greatly facilitates the work of stylists.
      • With this design, any decor element looks very impressive.
      • Light design has a beneficial effect on the nervous system, the house becomes cozy and comfortable.

      A good alternative to white is ivory. The shade is rich, combined with many colors and looks presentable.

      Among the shortcomings, one can single out the short service life of such a coating and the likelihood of staining the walls with outerwear or shoes. But now produced moisture and wear-resistant materials will help to easily cope with this problem.

      Grey. This color has many shades, it is considered an excellent additional background for colorful elements used in the interior. Painting the walls in the corridor in gray will help to make the atmosphere in the room peaceful and also unusual.

      It is recommended to give preference to light shades of gray, which will make the room airy, fresh and spacious.

      Beige. "Business card" - this is also called the corridor, because by its appearance an opinion about the owners is formed. Therefore, they try to create a beautiful interior here. But this is complicated by the constant movement in the room, by the fact that its area is small, there is no natural lighting.

      2. Repair is difficult for a large number of items. Be sensible by opting for minimalism.
      3. Use up to three colors for decoration: wood effect, white, gray or dark. Everything in the hallway has its own colors, for example, a wood-like floor, a snow-white ceiling, a dark rug. These colors are present in almost every interior. If you bring bright colors, it will look pretentious and ridiculous.
