Nothing says, “welcome to my home” like an entryway and hallway. While this space may seem inconsequential, in reality it sets the tone for your entire home when visitors arrive. What’s more, a well-styled hallway can draw a visitor’s eye into your abode, leaving them eager to share your space with you.

It doesn’t matter if you live in a city apartment or a spacious place in the suburbs, there’s probably something you can do to spice up your main hallway and entryway. Most hallways aren’t large enough for a full scheme of furniture and accessories, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a well-placed console table, or even some clever storage options. 

Believe it or not, your entry or hallway still has a lot of design potential. You just need to learn how to style this small space to your advantage. To help you in that endeavor, we’ve rounded up the smartest hallway decor ideas. From the best entryway paint colors to top plants for low-light apartments, you’re bound to find an idea here that can work for your space, whether it’s long and narrow or small and wide.

1. Unexpected patterns

Sure, you want to impress visitors when they first enter your home, but that doesn’t mean you can’t experiment with bold colors or patterns. This tiny UK home does just that, with a dramatic tropical wallpaper that offsets a very different striped pattern on the stair carpeting.

2. Modern farmhouse

A dark, boring hallway in a 1950s Colorado home gets a dramatic makeover, complete with neutral gray batten board walls, updated hardware on the doors and lighting and white doors instead of the glossy wood tones that have come to look so outdated.

3. Shades of blue

We love hallway decor ideas that incorporate clever pops of color. This one, from Anne Chicheportiche’s home, comes together expertly with a hallway carpet that coordinates with a set of blue doors at the end of the hall, and a gallery of art that also includes various shades of blue.

4. Orange and blue

This clever hallway redo by @colourfulnumber12 gives a mid-century vibe to the space, with a circular mirror placed above a slim console table. A tiny table like this is one of our favorite hallway decor ideas, since it lends character and adds storage at the same time.

5. Expertly incorporated seating

A place to sit down and remove your shoes upon entering your home is a great idea, which is why a low-profile place to sit like the one shown here is a great hallway decor idea. This neutral-colored bench blends perfectly with this beige and black space.

6. Bold tiles

This homeowner took a potential eyesore in the form of a black heater, and made it part of a beautiful grand scheme by incorporating bold, black and white tiling and a black-rimmed circular mirror.

7. Modern and geometric

When it comes to hallway decor ideas, mirroring a shape seen elsewhere in the home is a great option. We love how this slim console table perfectly mirrors (both in shape and color) the rectangular door that sits just beyond it. Pretty cherry blossoms and visually interesting lighting bring this look together perfectly.

8. Make a statement with mirrors

Want to fake your way to a more spacious hallway? All you need is a reflective surface. “Adding a mirror at the end of a narrow hallway will make a typically dark space feel lighter and larger,” says Liana Thomson, an accessories product developer at home decor retailer EQ3. Take a cue from this suburban retreat by adding a small, circular mirror to your mix. This option makes a pretty, sculptural statement without overwhelming the rest of the space.

9. Style with shiplap

Recreate the look of this modern Louisiana farmhouse in your home by covering your hall walls in shiplap. “Not only does shiplap make a space look more important and special, but it also adds durability,” says designer Michelle Gerson. “Adding shiplap to the walls is a cool way to make the hallway feel like an extension of the design of the house.” A practical, pretty, and space-efficient way to pack on the style? Chip and Joanna Gaines would definitely approve.

10.

Repeat your light fixtures

If you want to give a slim entry some pizazz, choose your light fixtures with care. “The addition of sconces provide repetition and visual interest while also setting the tone upon entering,” says designer Lauren Nelson. “Sconces offer ambient lighting, which is much more inviting than recessed cans (much like the effect of candles in the old days).” A sconce can give your place plenty of personality. In this New York City rental, the stacked geometric fixture oozes of old school, Art Deco glamor and gives guests a hint of what decor is to come in the rest of the home.

11. Pick out a pendant

We love the idea of playing around with lighting if you’re looking for hallway decor ideas. Speaking of lighting, you can always wow visitors by adding a single statement pendant to your foyer. In this charming English home, a rattan pendant lends the formal-looking hallway a cool, coastal edge.

12. Add accessories

If you have a few extra hats and bags on hand, borrow some “style” from your closet by hanging a few pieces in your entry, as seen in this Orange County-based crib. Not only will this option add some texture to your walls, but you’ll also be less likely to leave without these key pieces as you head out the door!

13. Create storage with a console

Just because entries are notoriously small doesn’t mean you can’t fit in some furniture. “I always use the hallway as a landing place,” says designer Sarah Wilson, owner of Chansaerae Designs. “Set up a table where you can unload as you come in.” A console table, like the one seen in this Barcelona home, offers some extra storage and keeps the space from feeling too sterile—that’s a win-win in my book.

14.

Keep your console clear

While a slim console table can amp up an entry, there’s always the risk that it’ll make your small space feel cluttered. Get the best of both worlds with a transparent table. “If you have a hallway that seems wide enough for a console table, opt for a thin, acrylic one,” says Alessandra Wood, interior design expert at Modsy, an e-design company. This will allow light to pass through and keep your hallway feeling open and accessible while still giving you a spot to drop keys.” This Brooklyn Heights home takes this clear storage to the max by slipping a woven basket underneath the table.

15. Get a gallery wall

One of the best hallway decor ideas we’ve come across? Turn your unassuming hall or entry into a museum-worthy masterpiece by creating a gallery wall. “I love when I see hallways used to display a full collection of art,” Wood shares. “This seemingly small space can house a ton of art and become a passageway for inspiration. ” With art as far as the eye can see, Kate Beebe’s maximalist hall proves this point—and is an anything but boring way to set the tone when you enter her home.

16. Round up some rugs

Fun, eye-catching rugs can make great hallway decor ideas. While a single runner will pack a punch, this New Orleans home utilizes a set of two vintage rugs for a unique look. The varying patterns offer visual interest, but the similar color palettes keep the look cohesive. Even if you don’t have a lot of room for furniture, you can certainly pull off a small rug.

17. Prioritize pops of color

Sometimes a little bit of color is just what the design doctor ordered. “Painting the ceiling is a fun way to add dimension into a hallway,” says designer Ginny Macdonald. “It will draw the eye up and elongate the space.” Instead of using one shade, incorporate the hallway decor idea of  creating a cool, ombré effect with multiple hues as seen in this Barcelona space above. The result? A hallway you’ll actually want to stay in and look around—and not just pass through.

18. Go to the dark side

Turns out painting with dark colors does have its perks—especially when decorating your entry or hall. “You could also paint the ceiling and the walls in a moody color and play with the fact that the hallway is dark,” Macdonald says. “Painting it white, especially if it has no natural light, could actually make it feel more gloomy, as the white has nothing to bounce off. Playing into the darkness will make it feel cozy.” In Lori LaMont and Monte Weiss’s Long Beach apartment, you can see this principle at play, where they embraced a deep blue wall color for their windowless hallway but punctuated that darkness with orange pendant lights and crisp, white trim.

19. Finish it off with floating shelves

Looking for hallway decor ideas for stowing your mail or apartment keys? Add some wall storage to your hall. “Floating shelves can be a good option if you have a wider hallway that could use some much-needed depth and pizazz,” says designer Breegan Jane. “They can be functional without taking up any floor space.” Not only is this trick space-efficient, but this is one DIY project that can be done in an hour. Use Amber Guyton’s tiny bungalow above as your inspiration.

20. Layer in a storage ladder

If the mere thought of drilling holes into your wall makes you nervous that you’ll lose your security deposit, lean a ladder-like shelving unit against your wall instead. Not only is the ladder in this Barcelona house tour equal parts pretty and practical, but it’s also from IKEA!

21. Try tiles

Small space dwellers, take note! If you want to carve out an “entryway” from the rest of your home, fake its footprint by laying down some tiles. This Scandinavian sanctuary nails this idea with a fun patchwork of designs that stick to a cohesive color palette. Living in a rental? You can get the look with peel-and-stick tile decals or temporary vinyl tiles.

22. Style out a shelfie

Have a hallway with charming nooks or niches? Put those built-ins to good use by creating a shelfie brimming with personality. With a cactus, colorful books, and a seriously impressive matchbook collection, we can’t help but smile whenever I look at this Scandi-inspired space.

23. Fill it with foliage

Aspiring plant parents will find a lot to love about “Plant Doctor” Hilton Carter’s Baltimore abode. His 1,000-square-foot home features over 200 plants—including a hallway with a propagation wall. Go ahead and embrace your green thumb by copying this look.

24.

Try a tapestry

If you want to give your walls some love but aren’t ready to commit to a full gallery wall, add a few tapestries. I love the simple pair hanging in this Philadelphia pad. Not only can this trick give your walls some much-needed texture and visual interest, tapestries can also strike a balance between subtleness and statement if you select them carefully.

25. Layer your ledge

The key to a design-savvy entry or hallway is making the most of the architecture you have. This Swedish space doesn’t have statement light fixtures or whimsical wallpaper, but the addition of a few plants and pottery pieces to the windowsill turns up the charm in an otherwise fairly quiet room.

26. Embrace an accent wall

Adding an accent wall might be one of the oldest tricks in the design book; however, it’s still a solid way to spruce up your hallway or entryway. Convinced accent walls are played out? Check out the cool alternative from this Spanish home above. The stark contrast between the pink and black hues makes a big statement without the need for excess ornamentation.

27. Make a makeup mecca

If you’re looking for hallway decor ideas that make the end of a slim hall feel less, well, abrupt, add a compact vanity table. In this pretty Philadelphia pad, a small table and faux fur stool give this otherwise sterile space a fun, cozy feel. Plus, this kind of setup can double as a desk when you work from home.

28. Bring on the books

Looking for the best hallway decor ideas for bookworms? Add some square shelves to your entryway. The low-slung cubbies seen in this North Carolina home can hold a lot without making the space appear cluttered. You can always sub in some baskets and bins, too, if you want some covered storage.

29. Dress up your door

The quickest and easiest way to spruce up your entry? Paint the inside of your front door a bold hue. When one couple used this trick in their New York City apartment, they ended up with an unapologetically stylish moment—whether they’re coming or going.

75 new hallway decor ideas

Getting into a house or apartment, guests judge the hosts' hospitality, wealth and taste by the way the hallway decor is. This room unites all rooms, so its design should be in harmony with the entire interior. It makes no sense to make expensive repairs in the hallway, but a small area gives you the opportunity to afford a little luxury in finishing several square meters of walls, ceiling and floor, complemented by spectacular lighting. Much can be done with your own hands, then the hallway will become a source of pride in front of numerous visitors to the house. nine0003

Reconstruction of the hallway can be large-scale if redevelopment or major repairs are planned. But if there is no need to change the lining of all surfaces, the transformation can only cover the decoration of the walls of the hallway with your own hands, as well as the partial replacement of furniture and accessories.

There is no need for large loans for repairs if done in stages. But first you need to plan everything in order to “see” the end result.

3. For surfaces that will not be occupied by cabinets or hangers, choose finishing materials or decor. nine0018
4. Decide how to decorate a free wall or a small vertical plane.
5. Decide whether you need to replace interior doors - it is better to change everything at once, choosing in a single design.
6. Think over a style that will organically complement the interior of the whole house.
7. Evaluate your own strengths for making hallway decor and decide where you will have to turn to specialists.

  Preparing walls for cladding

  Many believe that in the hallway it is not necessary to somehow decorate the walls in a special way, you can limit yourself to cosmetic repairs. But the experience of eminent interior designers confirms that only a memorable pattern or texture that emphasizes the design concept will make any room spectacular.

For example, a stencil drawing or a mosaic panel made of broken tiles, an appliqué made of vinyl stickers, if you work on a finished sample.

  When you want to decorate the entrance hall with a fresco or wall painting in a sophisticated technique, you can prepare the surface of the walls yourself to reduce costs. The main part will be done by an artist or a specialist in a certain technique. nine0003

  Brickwork is a typical hallway decor used in different styles such as loft or urbanism.

  Venetian stucco with marble effect is the most expensive and time-consuming type of cladding. The walls and columns look most luxurious under the "Venetian" or textured plaster.

  Artificial marble is another way to showcase decor in the hallway. It looks amazing both on the floor and on the walls, and is also used as decorative inserts among any tiled lining. Natural marble is very expensive, especially Italian, and artificial marble looks no worse, but is quite affordable. nine0003

  Hallway decor with mirrors

  A mirror wall is the best way to visually expand a small space. But the limited area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe hallway requires a competent approach to using mirrors.

  Wardrobe with sliding mirrored doors solves several problems at once. It combines many departments for storing seasonal items and large mirrors, without which it is difficult to get ready before leaving the house. The built-in wardrobe can be deep if there is enough space in the hallway, or compact. The configuration depends on the place that will be occupied by a direct or corner "coupe". nine0003

  Highly reflective tiles are another way to mirror your entryway. She is laid out in different ways:

  • narrow inserts;
  • mirror wall;
  • as a frame for a large mirror;
  • diagonally in separate blocks.

  A large mirror on a stand or framed on one of the walls can become the main accent. This indispensable attribute of the hallway has not been used as a functional item for a long time.

  Combining wallpaper in the hallway as a decoration

  Many people are tired of paper wallpapers, and there is not enough money for expensive decoration. It is worth moving away from traditional rolls in favor of decorating the hallway with wallpaper on a different basis:

  • natural-look vinyl;
  • fiberglass and interlining for painting;
  • liquid wallpaper with various fillers;
  • metallized rolls;
  • bamboo and cork;
  • interior textiles;
  • wood or veneered wallpaper. nine0018

  Each variety features an attractive surface with excellent aesthetic properties. Unconventional wallpapers can be combined to achieve an unusual effect, or combined with stone or brickwork.

  The combination of the same wallpaper of different shades in the form of decorative inserts is the simplest hallway decor, but the idea and the end result are important.

  How to select and decorate hallway furniture?

  Bulky "hallways", occupying most of the premises of a small area, are obsolete and go into oblivion. They are replaced by compact hangers - a "duet" of wall and floor models, made in the same design vein.

  Closed shoe racks have replaced the primitive open shoe racks. They are produced mainly under the wood of traditional shades, varnished and matted. In the catalogs you can find compact kits, which may include pencil cases with a hanger, shoe racks, benches or banquettes. nine0003

  Considering the simplicity of hallway furniture, some of the products are easy to assemble with your own hands by ordering parts in a furniture workshop. If you want some original decor, decorate the doors and facades of cabinet furniture with moldings, stained glass inserts or stickers.

  Openwork forging often looks more attractive than small wood furniture. Banquettes and floor hangers on graceful legs with soft seats in luxurious upholstery are the best decoration of the room at the front door. nine0003

  There should not be much furniture in a modern hallway, but compact stylish models are preferred. For a narrow hallway, it is better to choose retractable and folding seats, narrow consoles and small pouffes. An excellent addition would be a magazine rack, a shelf for a landline telephone, a key holder and a stand for an umbrella-cane, if all are made in the same design.

  Choosing creative lighting for the hallway

  1. There are usually no windows in the hallways of city apartments, and much attention is paid to lighting, diode lamps are considered modern, which are still very economical.
  2. Luminous panels on the floor that turn on when you step on them look unusual, but the entire “path” can also glow.
  3. The "floating" stretch ceiling with perimeter illumination looks impressive. nine0018
  4. Do-it-yourself decorative ceiling lamps made from improvised materials will make any interior creative.
  5. Ceiling lamps are selected according to the style of the room, if the interior is not original, the lampshades of an unusual design or the unique lighting design used for zoning a narrow and long hallway will change everything.

  Two large floor vases on either side of the front door complete the design of a spacious room. They can be used for dry flower arrangements, twisty twigs, peacock feathers and other creative fillings. nine0003

  When there is enough lighting in the hallway, flower tubs with large plants or wide collection florariums with succulents will decorate it.

  Large rectangular baskets are the best "storage" for shoes for country or Provence-style rooms.
