Tips For Decorating Hallways Where You Live

If you want to prevent your hallways from looking bare and dull, you need to know how to decorate them. Here you will find some great tips for decorating hallways and making them look amazing!

You use your hallways to get into different rooms. But we sometimes forget that hallways are part of the house which must also be decorated.

While they probably do not have top priority,  it does not hurt to give them some attention. After all, decorating them can make a huge difference to your home or apartment.

When we think of decorating hallways,  we often think of only one thing: pictures on the wall. But honestly, how exciting is a long corridor with pictures no one is looking at?

The second thing you might think of is the classic family portraits. But you can hang your Monet copies in a better place than in the hallway.

If you need to decorate hallways in your house in a nicer and more fun way, be honest with yourself. Decorate them with things that you and your guests like to look at.

So what are you going to hang on the wall?

Decorative ideas when you need to decorate hallways

• Mirror. Yes, a mirror usually works well when you need to decorate hallways. It gives a feeling of depth and light. You can set up a mirror with or without a table under it.
• Table. Ideally, it should be narrow and without drawers. A table with drawers makes you want to store things that you then eventually forget. You do not have to put photographs or decorative items on top. Just give it a table runner and a few original decorations.

• Medium or large decorative items. If you have a large hallway, you can use medium-sized or large ornaments. For example, you can place old lamps, a large vase (with flowers or branches), wooden baskets, etc.

And there are several options when it comes to decorating hallways

• Lamp. There are people who like to use colorful lamps which are very decorative. If you are one of them, try to limit the objects you put around it. That way, the lamp gets more focus. Of course you have to make sure it stands where people can see it in the hallway! If you choose a single lamp, use one that is strong enough to illuminate the other objects.
• Blanket. This is another optional item. A nice rug in your hallway or hallway can make your home cozy and cozy. It will also help to gather the overall impression of your house a lot.

• Paint / wallpaper.  If your hallways are wide and you want to give it personality and color, you can decorate it with wallpaper or a strong color. Another good idea is to use both, to create coherence and give a dynamic impression.
• Murals. Nowadays you can get murals with pictures of beautiful landscapes. They first give the impression that the corridor does not end there, but leads further out into nature. The best thing about murals is that you can easily customize them.

Ideas for decorating hallways in your home

A good idea is to always  leave one thing in focus for attention.

For example, if you want to focus on a chandelier, you can paint the ceiling in a light color. Beige colors also work well.

Another option is to let the walls be white or another neutral color. Then you can  use a colorful rug that stands out through its design or material. Instead of adding a lot of embellishments, you can put a nice basket with pillows in different colors and sizes at the end of the hallway. It looks very welcoming.

You can also use the things we mentioned above: a lamp, mirror and table. Look for something that is unique and looks special. For example, instead of using a square, round or oval mirror, you can use a different shape or a decorated frame. On a table, use only a few ornaments. A few candles, a wooden figure or a plant works fine.

If these ideas have inspired you, but do not suit your times,  then just experiment and make changes. One idea can lead to the next and you will have wonderful times in no time!
