A lot of people overlook the importance of ensuring that their hallway looks great. Because this is a space most people spend very little time in it tends to be neglected in terms of style. Nevertheless, you need to bear in mind the fact that your hallway is likely to be one of the first things people see when they come to your house. Thus, it is imperative that it looks fantastic!

The first thing you need to do is be savvy when it comes to space. After all, the hallway is an area that tends to get easily cluttered. People leave things lying around whilst they are in a rush to leave the house or when they cannot be bothered to put things away properly when they get home. You need to find clever ways of providing storage in order to ensure this is kept to a minimum. Remember to consider intelligent use of the wall space as you don’t merely want to take up the whole of the floor.

Aside from being clever with your utilisation of space, you also need to determine what colour palette you are going to incorporate. This largely depends on the size of your hallway. If you have a large hallway dark colours can look fantastic because they enclose the space. If you are looking for something bang on trend at the moment then a traditional colour, such as a rich red, can look great. Nonetheless, if your hallway is long and thin rather than big, stick to light pastel colours.

Furthermore, why not use your light fixture as the opportunity to bring style to the area? As mentioned, space is at a premium for most hallways. Thus, instead of adding too many other features, it is a great opportunity for you to incorporate a statement light and thus generate striking style this way.

Once you have considered all of the points mentioned you can then add the finishing touches and bring character to your hallway. One great way of doing so is through the incorporation of photographs. This adds a homely and personalised quality to the space. You should also have a look around for different accessories and furniture pieces too. After all, a stunning statement end table can not only be useful but it can transform the style of your hallway. It is all about that one stand-out piece.

If you ensure you are efficient with space, clever with your colours, include a statement light, and search for the perfect finishing touch then you are assured to have the recipe for a perfect hallway.
