Read on for twenty five wallpapered hallways to see how its done. From edgy and modern to traditional and quirky hallway wallpaper ideas, these stylish interiors prove transitional walkways can be just as grand as a formal living room.

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.

Catherine Kwong Design

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.

KERRI McCAFFETY

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.

FRANCESCO LAGNESE

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.

Hallway wallpaper ideas are perfect for making a big first impression. When used just beyond the entryway, they are one of the first design decisions guests will encounter when they walk through the door, so make them count. 

Including wallpaper among your hallway ideas not only helps bring visual interest to transient spaces, they are also a vehicle for showcasing your personality. Occupying only a small part of your home and one that is used for short periods of time, hallways are also the perfect location for those big patterns that might feel overwhelming elsewhere – so think big with wallpaper ideas in these spaces. 

Hallway wallpaper ideas

From entrance halls festooned with florals to clever optical illusions that will make compact corridors feel bigger, we’ve put together some stunning hallway wallpaper ideas inspiration and asked the experts to share their top tips.

1. Keep it light and bright 

(Image credit: Alecia Neo)

By their very nature, hallways have the unfortunate habit of coming over a tad dark and pokey. If you’re plotting a wallpaper to go with your narrow hallway ideas, keep things light and bright to keep the space feeling as large and airy as possible. In this hallway with a staircase, a pale, faintly patterned blue and white wallpaper is used with white painted woodwork to allow the beautiful dark wooden staircase to really stand out without darkening the whole space. 

2. Horizontal lines will make a hallway feel longer 

(Image credit: Davide Lovatti)

Bringing large scale pattern into a space comes with the opportunity to play a mind trick or two. For small hallway ideas, consider a pattern or texture that will create an optical illusion, making the space feel bigger. Horizontal lines will make a compact space feel longer, drawing the eye down the corridor. These don’t need to be garish or too obvious either – pick a trending grasscloth like in this example to subtly elongate your hallway.  

3. Embrace nature

(Image credit: Little Greene)

If you love to have a big bunch of flowers greeting guests among your entry table decor ideas, take it one step further and allow nature to wind its way across your walls. 

‘What better way to welcome the family home or offer an enticing entrance to guests by extending nature into your home through a floral wall covering in the hallway,’ says Lizzie Deshayes, Co-Founder and Design Director at Fromental . ‘The exuberance and optimism of nature in full bloom lifts the spirits and floral wallpaper adds depth and colour to a sometimes-overlooked space.’

4. Pair with colorful paintwork

(Image credit: Little Greene)

Don’t forget about those hallway paint ideas just yet – just because you’re not painting a wall, it doesn’t mean you won’t need them. Contrast can be used effectively to really highlight a hallway wallpaper.

What makes this wallpaper really stand out in this example is the vibrant yellow picked from the wallpaper's motif, and used it on the surrounding trim, great for yellow hallway ideas.

5. Stay in touch with period features 

(Image credit: Jonathan Gooch)

If you’re blessed with a historic home crammed with period features, use your wallpaper to make the most of it. Choose some of your favorite aspects – be it a standout piece of hallway lighting like a chandelier, or a moulded plaster border – and look for wallpapers that accentuate patterns in them. In this beautiful hall space, the pointed arch of the Gothic revival door is mirrored in the pattern of the wallpaper. 

6. Go big, bold and beautiful 

(Image credit: Jan Baldwin)

Your hallway might be small, but there’s no reason why it can’t be mighty. Hallways are actually an excellent home for exuberant, maximalist wallpapers – perfectly placed to make an impact on entrance, but not so big that the pattern eventually overwhelms, great for red hallway ideas.

‘A hallway quite often has very little else in it so wallpaper is a way to add interest and bring in color and pattern – in my view the bigger and bolder the better,’ says Beckett. In this hallway, a vibrant floral wallpaper bursts through the open doors, framed and accentuated from this angle by the white paint in the room beyond. 

7. Make use of your dado rail 

(Image credit: Emma Lee)

If you’re just about to rip out what you think is an outdated dado rail, hold on a minute. Yes, they are largely defunct in protecting walls from chair backs, but they are still pretty useful in adding visual proportion to a room – exactly what you may need in an awkward hallway. 

To make a feature of it, use wallpaper either exclusively below or preferably above the dado rail to create vertical layering. Get your hallway carpet ideas in on the act pattern act too, and use the lower half of the wall for a visual rest. 

8. Stamp your personality onto the space

(Image credit: Carolyn Barber)

Wallpaper is a great way to stamp your personality all over the room – and with so many patterns, textures and prints available across countless styles, it’s possible to make it as unique as you are. Florals aren’t for everyone, so choose a pattern that communicates your style, from graphic prints to quirky illustrations. In this hallway, a wallpaper bedecked with knotted rope communicates a love of the sea, and a beachy vibe. 

9. Travel to another world with a mural

(Image credit: Polly Wreford)

In their very essence, hallways are areas of the home that people travel through – so why not take them somewhere amazing? A corridor’s elongated nature makes it a great canvas for mural wallpapers, allowing the full picture to play out uninterrupted. In this grand hallway, a painted, magical landscape featuring fruit trees, rolling hills, giant lizards and dancing unicorns. The addition of a seat by the entry table creates a spot for guests to sit and admire. 

10. Don’t forget the ceiling

(Image credit: Paul Raeside)

Wallpaper isn’t just for walls. Get creative and turn your nook of a hallway into an exciting design moment by embracing ceiling wallpaper ideas. In this example, a grey hallway space by the front door is turned into an atmospheric corner by the use of a storm-reminiscent pattern on the walls that hangs overhead too. The ceiling is given emphasis by the use of paneling on the lower half of the wall, nudging the visual interest upwards.  

11.  Take your staircase to the next level

(Image credit: Alicia Taylor)

Many hallway spaces don’t include just one storey, but two. If you have staircase ideas to contend with too, consider how your wallpaper will travel upwards – and even make a feature out of it. In this example, wallpaper is used not on the wall that travels along the side of the staircase, but at the far end. When viewed singularly, the silver birch patterned paper makes the space on each level feel taller – and when viewed altogether the spaces appear to connect and give the impression of a forest growing up through the house. 

12. Be on trend with green 

(Image credit: Little Greene)

Being stuck inside for much of the last couple of years has made us want to bring the outdoors in – as such, green has become a hugely popular hue in interior design. It’s a great choice for modern hallway ideas, and for combining with more traditional, florally inspired wallpaper designs like the one used in this example. To inject some fun and freshness, mix and match different tones of green, including bright accents.

13. Make a lasting impression with a monochromatic scheme

(Image credit: Frenchie Cristogatin / Future)

The accent wall is one of the most popular recent trends. It is a classic design device, which draws the eye to a specific area. Marrying the paint color of the walls with the wallpaper will ensure the contrast isn’t too harsh, so the scheme feels relaxing.

Striking, cool and confident, black and white is always a winning combination and will make a dramatic statement in a modern hallway. Create a perfect balance of the two neutrals, by using equal amounts of each.

14. Contrast colors in a small hallway

(Image credit: Jan Baldwin / Future)

Clever color combinations are very popular at the moment, perhaps as a counter-reaction to the many tonal greys from the past decade.

Decorate with a palette of blue and green in your small hallway ideas. This combination is often described as the modern monochrome, and it is easy to see why. Where once blue and green were never to be seen together, in fact, these hues sit particularly well together, so offer great scope for pattern mixing. See our blue hallway ideas for more inspiration.

'We all experience color differently from one another and each will have an energy that appeals. Work with your instincts, assert your whims, and look at the clothes in your wardrobe for color inspiration for your modern hallway,' advises interior designer, Andrea Maflin.

15. Introduce wood-effect wallpaper

(Image credit: Nato Welton / Future)

If you love the look of wall panelling, but don't want the commitment or upkeep, then look at wood-effect wallpaper instead. It's often used in architecture to create texture and interest, and here it's been added to create a character feel within a modern room that's limited on architectural detailing. The warmth of the wood used also makes a minimalist decorating scheme instantly more welcoming, too.

16. Bring the outdoors in with nature-inspired prints

Marthe Armitage is truly special in the world of wallpaper. More artist than designer, she’s hand-blocked her botanical wallpapers on the same press since the 1950s. Paired with a painted bench, her Flora print brings the spirit of the summer garden inside.

Note the white background of this wallpaper design – it will bounce lots of light around a small hallway, making it feel as large as possible.

17. Define your hall with bold wallpaper

(Image credit: Future / Jake Curtis)

The transient nature of hallways make them a great place to go bold with your wallpaper ideas. Any space where you spend limited amounts of time means you are less likely to get tired of your color or pattern decisions, so be brave and experiment with wallpaper trends.

For hallway ideas with dramatic impact, go for large scale repeats. Alternatively, murals are having a moment with wallcoverings right now, and halls are the best place for these. Many murals are also available as traditional, super-scaled up wallpapers, too – perfect if you want to cover the whole stretch of a hallway.

18. Go big with oversized florals

(Image credit: Simon Bevan / Future )

Florals are big news for 2022 interiors and can be adapted to suit any space, even if you have a small or are looking for narrow hallway ideas. These new season designs have upped the style stakes and make it easy to work beautiful flowers into your décor.

Start off by thinking about color. The palette you choose will guide your decisions when it comes to choosing floral designs and will act as the basis for pulling your scheme together. 

19. Play with pattern and color in a narrow hallway

(Image credit: Emma Lewis / Future)

A hallway landing is often overlooked as a vehicle for adding texture and color, and is often just thought of as a dead space, but it can become a welcoming focal point and add intrigue to your home.  

Most abstract paper won’t look out of place, especially if used with a heady collection of other designs. This geometric design excites and adds interest to the hall like no other. For a more focused design, pick out one color from your chosen paper and use it on doors and woodwork.

20. Go for dark and dramatic florals

(Image credit: Harlequin)

If your modern hallway is flooded with natural light you can afford to use a wallpaper with a more dramatic, darker color scheme. This scheme celebrates the resurgence of rich, bold prints by showing them off in a neutral, pared-back setting for an easy-to-live-with look.  Used in a hallway, this joyful wallpaper is the perfect choice for creating an eye-catching first impression. 

What kind of wallpaper is best for a hallway? 

Choosing the best wallpaper for a hallway is really down to what kind of hallway you have. If you have a small hallway, consider using horizontally striped wallpaper to elongate the space by drawing the eye to the end of the passage. Similarly, if you have low ceilings, a pattern with vertical linear direction will help the space feel taller, while light colors will stop the space feeling dark and pokey. 

If you’re not too worried about making the most of a compact space, then the best wallpaper is one that shows off your personality. With an entrance hallway, this wallpaper will be the first design choice any guests see when they enter your home, so make sure it’s one that communicates your style effortlessly. 

‘A hallway or corridor is an ideal environment for decorating with wallpapers,’ says Sarah Macgregor, Design Director for Colefax & Fowler and Jane Churchill . ‘First impressions are important and it is possible to make a welcoming impact with either a handcrafted small scale block print or the warm inviting texture of grasscloth.’ 

'Don't choose wallpaper in isolation when decorating. I'm a great believer in getting the whole scheme in your hand before you shop. Consider it all simultaneously, advises Martin Waller, founder of Andrew Martin .

'And just because a wall is papered doesn't mean you can't hang art over it. Kit Kemp , who we collaborated with for her eponymous collection, demonstrates this exuberantly in her schemes. Wallpaper and art combine to add such interesting layers to a hallway.'

Should I wallpaper a narrow hallway? 

Although wallpapering a narrow hallway might seem like a recipe for sensory overload, it is perfectly possible to make it work. Narrow spaces are more likely to collect shadows, so try to keep the space feeling as open and airy as possible with light colored wallpapers. If you’re still worried about the use of pattern feeling overwhelming, consider only using wallpaper on one side of the hallway, and paint the other side, ideally in a pale shade. 

What kind of wallpaper is best for a modern hallway?

To discover modern wallpaper that you will not only love, but will want to live with for years to come, spend time gathering samples from different suppliers. Try them out on your walls so you can test how each style works for you. If you are drawn to a particularly vivid or striking paper, think about using it in an entryway, where you can really make an impact. 

Looking to the past for inspiration can help you to achieve original interior styles. New printing techniques have made it easier than ever to create your own designs or choose specific colors and themes, so your wallpaper can be completely personal to you.

Like with paints, the look of wallpaper changes depending on the time of day and light available. Hallways typically have limited natural light available, so before committing, stick up a few A4 size sheets of your choice across the length of the hall. Check how the print and colors look throughout the day to ensure you like them as much at night time as you do with the morning light.

Wallpaper for the corridor: selection, combination, photo

It is not easy to decorate the corridor and the hallway correctly: the areas are usually small, and the functionality should be wide. Moreover, both of these rooms are a link that unites all the rooms into a single whole. Therefore, it is not easy to choose wallpaper for the corridor.

Contents of the article

What wallpapers to choose in corridor

since the premises are passing , with a heavy load, there are increased requirements for finishing in terms of strength characteristics, and all materials must be well washed and cleaned. From these points of view, you need to choose the type of wallpaper, and then talk about colors, patterns and combinations.

A type of brick-like vinyl wallpaper

Vinyl

Vinyl coating (polyvinyl chloride or PVC) creates a very dense and durable film on the surface. Such wallpapers are also called detergents - for their ability to normally tolerate cleaning with a rag with detergents.

The basis for vinyl wallpaper can be paper or interlining. It is easier to glue non-woven. You simply apply glue to the surface of the wall and apply the cut-to-size canvas. Such wallpaper for the corridor can also be glued to slightly uneven walls.

Under such canvases, decent cracks will not be visible.

Paper-based wallpaper must first be smeared with glue and folded so that the smeared surface is inside. At this time, it is necessary to smear the wall, and then glue a slightly softened canvas. This is where the danger lies: soaked paper is easy to stretch, which will cause distortions, folds and other troubles to appear on the wall. So it is easier to work with a non-woven base, especially since they better hide surface imperfections and there is no need to carefully level the walls. However, there is one “but” - are they more expensive than paper-based ones? and the difference is about 40%.

In addition to the different substrates, vinyl wallpapers also differ in the way they are applied.

Any type of vinyl wallpaper will work well in a hallway. They are highly durable, fade resistant, wash well. The average service life is about 7-10 years. Vanillin wallpaper for the corridor is good for everyone, except that some of them are difficult to join, but this can be dealt with by gluing a special tape at the junction.

Glass wallpaper

This type of wallpaper is paintable. The canvas has a certain relief, most often medium-sized. The relief of the pattern allows you to hide flaws in the processing of the wall. You can paint from 3 to 8 times - depending on the type (and price) of the paintings. Glass fibers pass air well, are vapor-permeable, do not emit harmful substances. In general, a good choice if you are satisfied with painted walls.

One of the reliefs on the wall

Liquid compounds

Is it a mixture of cellulose, cotton and sometimes chemical? fibers with a coloring pigment and an adhesive composition. There are two forms of release: ready-to-use in the Vedas or in bags for dilution with water. Apply with spatulas to the prepared surface. It should not be ideally even: the layer thickness can be up to 5 mm, but too much consumption is financially unprofitable.

Apply the compound with a spatula. Some craftsmen use plastic plexiglass, some use ordinary stainless steel, and someone generally works with “trowels”. There are many techniques, choose the one that is most convenient for you.

Liquid wallpaper for corridors is a good option in terms of surface characteristics. Since the compositions are painted to the full depth, scratches are not visible, many of them can be washed not just with a rag, but also with a brush. But before buying, check all the performance characteristics and features. They may have significant differences.

Natural

There is another group of wallpapers that are made using natural materials. On the base, most often fabric or interlining, cork chips or bamboo are glued. They look great - the surface is natural. However, they have their own characteristics. The cork is torn off, which can be a problem in families with children. Some types of bamboo sheets need to be varnished, and they also need to be glued to a special glue. Although I must say that bamboo wallpaper for an oriental-style corridor is a godsend: they look magical.

Oriental-style bamboo wallpaper for a hallway is a great choice

Cork looks just as good when done right. An example can be seen in the photo. Above - wallpaper from bamboo, below - from cork.

How to stick: color choice and design

The color design of the corridor often has to be matched to the existing decor of other rooms in the apartment or house. And this means that you have to stick to the same range or choose from matching colors. Moreover, the choice of color is complicated by the presence of a large number of doors. It is impossible to ignore them.

The best option if you are planning multi-colour wallpaper for the hallway and you can find one that has a color similar to the color of the doors.

In a corridor with light doors, light shades look more organic

If the color is too dark - wenge, for example, then you will have to beat it with a plinth and / or decorative elements, and the walls in such a corridor are definitely better light: against their background, dark doorways look like decoration .

Wallpaper in the hallway under dark doors

If we talk about colors in general, then you can use any. Even the dark ones. But they look good in spacious rooms with an abundance of light (we read about lighting in the hallway here). And one condition: it is better to avoid variegation and small drawings. They make the room even smaller. If your corridor is small and narrow, then you will have to choose from light, neutral tones, and with a soft pattern.

In general, narrow corridors are a separate issue. With the help of some tricks, you can achieve the effect of expanding space. For example, with a sufficient ceiling height, in a narrow corridor, approximately in the middle of the wall, you can make a strip of a different color. This technique allows you to "destroy" the walls to the sides. The effect is increased if there is a large mirror or mirrored cabinet doors on the opposite wall.

A clearly defined strip lowers the ceiling slightly and pushes the walls apart.

Striped wallpaper can be used in a narrow corridor. But you need to look for wide bands. Narrow ones will create a variegated effect. If these are not found, you can combine two colors of the same type (read about color matching tables in the interior here). If the ceilings are high, you can place the stripes horizontally, if not - vertically.

Striped wallpaper in the hallway

In order not to overload a small space with color alternation, stripes are placed in fragments, the rest is covered with plain wallpaper. This, by the way, is one of the methods of combining in the interior.

One wall is striped - the rest are plain painted

You can read about how to make a dressing room and develop its content in this article.

How to combine wallpaper in the corridor

If desired, you can combine the stripe with a large floral ornament. But it is extremely difficult to choose wallpapers from different collections without the appropriate skills. In this case, it is easier to use a single collection. Many manufacturers produce canvases with different patterns, which are combined with each other. An example of a combination of striped and floral wallpaper in the corridor is in the photo below.

How to wallpaper a hallway with different wallpaper: one of the options

By the way, pay attention, the color of the door almost exactly matches one of the stripes, and the jambs - on the other. Perhaps that is why this option looks beautiful.

Another example of wallpaper combination in the hallway from the same collection

There is a classic combination: when 1/3 of the walls above or below are pasted over with other wallpaper. The lower part, as a rule, is made darker, the upper part is lighter. This technique visually "lowers" the ceiling, which is useful if the room is narrow and high.

The lower third is darker - one of the ways to combine

Moreover, the lower part is not necessarily solid. It can be a medium-sized pattern, a strip, sometimes a monogram. It all depends on the style of the apartment or house.

Another variant of the same technique in the photo below. In this case, the darker part occupies 2/3 of the walls, and so that the room does not seem gloomy, a large floral pattern is chosen.

The room turned out bright

Wall mural

Modern technologies make it possible to transfer any images onto paper. With the advent of high-quality large-format photo printing, it became possible not to assemble an image from pieces, but to glue it as a continuous sheet. This looks much better. Wall murals are also used in the corridor.

    • Combining wallpaper in the hallway requires a careful selection of materials from good manufacturers. The search for the optimal combination of colors and patterns involves taking into account the area of ​​​​the corridor - whether it is necessary to visually expand the space or focus on some details, how to paste over the hallway with different wallpapers and choose a photo with a suitable combination for this.

    The original design of this room can not only "revive" the interior, but also correct the shortcomings of the layout.

    From a design standpoint, these are defining questions. The other side of the choice is the quality of the canvases - they must be resistant to dirt and resistant to damage.

    Combination of wallpapers is the most cost-effective and easy to implement option for an interesting finish.

    Please note! A practical option would be vinyl or non-woven fabrics. The first variety has a washable surface, the second is suitable for painting.

    Choosing a combined wallpaper depending on the style and size of the hallway

    Unusual style is rarely used in design - most often it is caused by budget problems and the fear of making a mistake in style, which is completely in vain. Even in a small space there is a place for an original idea. This is easy to do by deciding on creative wallpaper.

    Detailed design of a hallway is a rarity.

    Below we will consider the style solutions of the combined wallpaper for the corridor in the apartment.

    Provence

    Light colors (blue, green, beige and pink), floral print - the actual combination of shades and colors for wallpaper in this style. It is in it that the beloved by many French chic is reflected. This style can be achieved with the help of photo wallpapers containing images of old towns, small cafes and bakeries.

    Plant and flower motifs should be chosen as designs.

    Classic

    Classic wallpaper is applied in warm colors that create a feeling of cosiness, warmth and charm. The tones used are light brown, beige, golden, and in combination with dark furniture, the interior will look more luxurious and tasteful.

    Gold and silver patterns, decorative borders in white and other suitable colors are appropriate.

    Hi-tech

    Minimalism and clear lines are the specifics of this style. For this reason, it is so popular for small corridors. If you need to focus on something, you can use a combination with bright colors, for example: white and red, etc.

    Solid colours: greys, whites and their combinations are used.

    Scandinavian style

    Still very popular in decoration and design. The main distinguishing feature of the style is white walls, which visually increase the area, the canvases themselves should be light and plain, or else have a geometric pattern. The advantage of the design will be gray or dark blue tones.

    Modern styles allow any combination. This is black and white, and metallic, and all kinds of prints.

    Loft

    There is no special decoration for the walls here. On the surface, the use of brickwork is relevant. If you want to glue canvases in this particular style, you should take into account models designed as natural materials (metal, brick). When choosing a shade of wallpaper, it is better to dwell on brown and gray shades.

    Bright shades are allowed, but it is worth remembering that it is better not to use too saturated colors in small rooms.

    Benefits of combining

    1. Hides all wall irregularities.

      The simplest and most recommended combination includes two wallpaper options.

    2. The ability to "change" the space, visually beat it.

      If you decide to use photo wallpapers, choose images with city and nature themes.

    3. You can divide the hallway into several zones using wallpaper.

      In some cases, three colors are allowed, but no more, otherwise, instead of a harmonious combination, a tasteless variegation may turn out.

    4. Possibility to focus on some details of the room.

    Photos of flowering alleys and beautiful streets can not only decorate the corridor, but also visually expand the room.

    Popular combination options in 2019

    In order to decide on the combination option, you need to know in general how to paste two types of wallpaper in the hallway.

    2 combinations:

    If the ceilings in your apartment are high enough, a horizontal approach will suit you.

    Vertical wallpaper alignment - an option for narrow corridors. This approach is also good for rooms with uneven walls.

    The first helps to expand the area, the second makes the corridor visually higher.

    Important! Remember that it is imperative to monitor the thickness of the material so that there are no joints when wallpapering.

    Dark beige wallpaper creates a soft yet effective contrast.

    When determining the combination, it is important to take into account the ideas for decorating the hallway in 2019, these include the following.

    1. The basis is minimalism: in the hallway there are many other items that, in color and design, in combination with a bright design, will look heaped up and too colorful, so it will be more correct to stick to a minimalist style.
    2. Limited white, grey/black and wood color for the same reason why minimalism was chosen as the main style for the hallway.
    3. If you want an original and beautiful view of the hallway, it is better to spend the budget on built-in appliances and LED lighting.

    The interior in beige and white is a versatile option. Light doors visually increase the space.

    What colors to choose for combination

    As noted earlier, for small hallways, light-colored canvases are needed, which would expand the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe room. If you want to use dark shades, then it is important to take into account that they create a contrasting combination with light ones, which will favorably “emphasize” the style of the hallway.

    The black and white style is the best option, ideal for any room. It's hard to mess up and always creates a nice visual contrast.

    The design of the corridor in the apartment with real combined wallpaper can be classic: the gray color is used because of its versatility, so it is popular when decorating not only the corridor, but also other rooms. The combination of shades of gray for corridors of small volumes will be less advantageous, and its use for small areas without combination with shades of other colors is usually not carried out.

    It is recommended to cover the bottom area with moisture resistant wallpaper.

    After determining the colors and shades, you need to choose which models to use - plain or printed. It all depends on personal preferences, but most often a plain wall decoration in light colors is used, which is well suited for any corridors (both small and large in area).

    You can combine wallpapers in any adequate way, the main thing is that the result looks beautiful and harmonious.

    If you need to decorate a narrow long corridor with a print, then the choice here is huge within 3 types: "Flora", "Geometry" and "Strip".

    Print with plants is quite a popular design style, it used to be the most used, today the main thing is to observe the measure in accents on colorful colors.

    Floral print is always in trend. The main thing is not to overdo it.

    Geometric pattern applicable in all directions. The average size of the drawings will be suitable in any area, it all depends on how to combine the wallpaper with each other photo corridor. For the hallway, both large and small patterns on the wallpaper can be suitable, it all depends on the task.

    Geometry is now in fashion in all its manifestations. A small geometric pattern will complement the hallway well.

    If the ceiling is low, it is better to use straight vertical lines on the wallpaper; if the task is to expand the space, then horizontal.

    The stripes can be the same or different widths. As a rule, not the entire corridor is designed in this way, but only one wall.

    Important! Prints of large sizes will visually reduce the area. A small drawing is able to increase this area.

    Cloths come in completely different shades and colors, you can choose any style, as long as it suits a particular hallway and transforms it.
