How to style your hallway

First impressions make lasting impressions. Your hallway is the first-place guests will see when entering your home. So why not make a lasting first impression on your guests?

There are a few things to remember when styling your home: balance, have fun and experiment with new décor. 

Decorating a space can be overwhelming as so many decisions need to be made. So we’ve put together a list of things to consider when styling your hallway. 

Flooring 

Flooring is a key aspect of any room and can change how the room feels. 

Due to hallways being a high traffic area in a home, we recommend easy to clean flooring such as laminate, LVT flooring and hardwood flooring. 

You can get flooring in a wide range of colours and styles. We recommend having flooring throughout your house that is part of the same colour family. 

Wanting to add a pop of colour, why not add a runner to your hallway. This is a great way of adding contrast into the hallway.

Walls

Feature walls are a great way of adding colour, texture and personality to your room. 

Wallpaper is an amazing way to add personality to your room. With an array of different colours, designs, patterns, textures you are bound to find something for your hallway. 

Mirrors are a great addition; it can help open up your hallway and make the hallway feel a lot bigger. With lots of different styles, there is something that will compliment your style.

Artwork and picture frames can also help add a pop of colour and personal touch to your hallway. 

Console tables

Console tables are a great piece of furniture to add to your hallway. With a range of different styles, colours and sizes available - there is something for everyone! 

If you’re wanting more storage space in your hallway, why not get a console table with drawers? With a place you can store your mail, shoes and keys. 

Lighting 

Lighting is an important piece of any hallway. Having a well-lit hallway will make your home more welcoming to your guests. 

Light fittings can help adding personality to your hallway. You could opt for ceiling light fittings, wall light fittings or even use lamps. 

Changing the colour of your bulbs in your hallway will change the atmosphere of your hallway. Having warm bulbs will make your hallway feel warmer and cosier. Having a cool white light bulb will make your home appear brighter and lighter. 

Personal touches

Adding personal touches to your hallway can make a huge difference and show your personality to any guest that enters your home. 

Reed diffusers are not only a decorative item will also help keep your home smelling nice. 

Sentimental photos can add that personal touch in your hallway. Adding décor such as houseplants, sculptures can also help with giving a good impression. 

Unleash your creativity and have fun when styling your hallway!
