Hallway Decor Ideas
A hall connects people and places, greets visitors and provides traffic paths. Whatever the destination, the hall is a crossroads. Often overlooked during design projects, the hallway deserves decor to set it apart or blend it into adjoining rooms. Does this Spark an idea?
-
Lighting
-
Use lighting fixtures high on the wall or hanging from the ceiling. More light helps a hallway seem open. Install a light switch at each end of the hall for safety in a dark corridor.
Nature Accents
-
Add live plants or nature-theme features such as wreaths and dried flower arrangements. Woven wallpaper is a great backdrop for flower or garden wall prints.
-
Murals
-
Painted or wallpaper murals add depth to walls. A pastel ceiling mural brings a distinctive look to a tall hallway and brings the focus up from the floor.
Seasonal
-
A hallway marks events or seasons. Streamers and theme party decorations are easily tacked on walls and ceilings. Use decorative door covers for destination doors.
Memories
-
Personalize an interior hall between private rooms with family photo groupings, framed travel mementos or collages of old and new school photographs.
Safety
-
Traffic flows in hallways. Chairs, tables and decorations should not impede that traffic. Keep the pathways clear and use eye-catching floor runners to mark the traffic path.
