When decorating a home, the hallway is often overlooked. Such a missed opportunity! This space can also be made cosy and inviting. Since it’s the first thing visitors see when they enter your home, creating a warm welcome is definitely worth the effort. Read on for 3 tips to decorate your hallway!

Decorating the hallway: 3 tips

Sufficient storage

There’s nothing less inviting than stepping into a cluttered hallway. Yet, it’s almost unavoidable, as the hallway needs to accommodate coats, shoes, bags, scarves, hats, and maybe even your keys and mail. That’s why having plenty of storage is essential, so everything has its place. Think of a cupboard, a coat rack, or a side table with drawers.

Add a mirror

Do you have a small hallway? Place a mirror in the centre of the space, to create a sense of openness. A mirror reflects light, making the area feel brighter and more spacious. Plus, it’s always handy for a quick look before you head out the door. Opt for a mirror with an organic shape to give the hallway a soft and inviting touch.

Make it cosy

Every room in the house deserves some decoration, and the hallway is no exception! It’s the finishing touch that ensures a warm welcome. Avoid cluttering the space with lots of small items; instead, choose a few larger pieces. Consider a stylish planter with an Anthurium plant, some photo frames on the wall, and a reed diffuser in your favourite scent. If you have the space, a wooden bench can add a cosy vibe while doubling as a practical spot to tie your shoes.
