Hallway Design Ideas

Great place to display kid's art, the mirror is a great focal point and the horizontal stripes in the rug make the space not seem as long

Hallways are sometimes put on the bottom of the list to decorate.  I know it's on the bottom of my list.  They are a means to an end and not usually a place where you spend time but that doesn't mean you should neglect your hallway.  Make your hallway an uplifting space instead of a bore.  

There are 3 things to consider when designing your hallway besides walls and floors;

1 - Lighting - You need enough light so that it doesn't feel dark and scary.  Add wall sconces, they really add character to a space.

2 - Art - This is the perfect space for a gallery!  It can be family photos, paintings, kid's art, storage, mirrors, etc.  And adding 3-Dimension objects will create a dynamic space instead of just a hall.

3 -  Focal Point - You need a focal point at the end of the hall, something to catch your eye!

Here's some great ideas to dress up your hall...

Bright fun wallpaper and Sconces

 Notice the mirror and console are the focal point of this room.

Love the surf board hanging from the ceiling

 This is a great example of all 3 - lighting, art and focal point.

Sculptures displayed on pedestals

So glamorous!

 The mirrors really make this space seem large.

The mirrors help expand the hall's width

Paint your doors a color instead!

Below is my back hall to my garage.  My family is the only ones that use this hall.  It's depressing to walk through.  So, it's time to make this ugly, boring space beautiful!  Here's my plan...

Stay tuned for the after....
