The hallway is usually the first thing guests see when they enter a house or apartment. Therefore, ensuring that your entryway looks amazing should be a priority. A beautiful design can be brought to life in any room, even the smallest. The main thing is to do it wisely and tastefully.
Find suitable ideas for your hallway
Today I want to share with you some pretty cool ideas for transforming your entryway into an elegant and welcoming space that instantly makes your guests' visit enjoyable and comfortable.
Start changing from the hallway
Whether your hallway is narrow or practically a room, setting it up with the perfect furniture and decor will provide the ambiance you need.
Some people want to completely renovate their hallway with new colors and styles so that the decor leaves guests with a good impression of their living conditions.
For a new idea, the main desire is
Others are simply looking for a new light fixture or entryway table to update the look of the first room in the house.
One addition can change the whole look
No matter how big or small your hallway landscaping project is, my selection will allow you to choose the perfect furniture, shades, lighting, rugs and more.
Choose the best solution for yourself
All this will allow you to make the most of often forgotten space in the house.
Make even a corner feel cozy
Distinguishing marks
If it is not possible to arrange everything in such a way that it is visible from the hallway, you need to highlight it yourself. In the case of the living room, for example, you can add various characteristic decorations on the door or above the door. A very fashionable solution is to apply appropriate symbols above the doors that describe the room.
How to make the corridor cozy
Many people see the potential of a hallway to provide storage space. Indeed, your hallway can become a very useful and ample storage space without feeling cluttered.
Ideal furniture - a remedy for clutter
But we will try to make it not only functional, but also cozy. To get to the rest of the house, we often just slide past the hallway without paying any attention to it, but in vain.
A designer hallway is a sign of comfort in the home
Even a narrow hallway can be transformed into a homely space where people can enjoy conversation and reflection, or stand with a glass of wine during a party.
Bright hallway with bright accents
Soft carpets, glossy floor coverings, surfaces with warm colors, various cozy lamps or other lighting effects.
Warm colors for warm meetings
All this creates your home charm, which can convey an ordinary city or country hallway with a standard or oversized layout.
Nude shades will always be relevant
Use light color schemes with lots of white and pastel shades, which are great for the perception of space in the hallway.
Light and pastel colors to increase space
You'll be surprised how a few light accents transform a seemingly cramped hallway that no one ever thought about into a desirable place to visit.
Light accents add to the space
Natural range
A neutral, restrained palette remains in demand: basic colors (white, black, gray) will not lose their relevance for a long time. Beige, earthy and brown tones go well together, while green and terracotta shades can serve as accents. They are not only practical (dirt is less noticeable on them), but also bring you closer to nature.
The popularity of yellow has increased sharply: it allows you to let a little sun into the hallway and add coziness. Use any of its shades - from muted straw to bright lemon.
What hallway furniture do you really need?
Since hallways tend to be relatively small spaces in the home, it is important to ensure that they do not appear cluttered. But that doesn't mean you have to give up furniture completely!
An elegant table with a phone or lamp, a small basket where you can store mail paperwork, a vase of flowers on the dresser, or even a couple of chairs (if you have the space) with plush cushions for guests to relax on - all these suave accessories will transform the hallway into a beautiful one. part of the house.
Pay attention to the little things for the hallway
There is absolutely no point in having any furniture in your hallway unless you have space to spare: instead try using color and lighting to create a pleasing effect.
Lighting plays a huge role in a room.
The key to a great hallway is to use the space you have and a little inspiration.
Get inspired by your favorite color
General lighting recommendations
Regardless of the type of lamp and its location, it is always best to use opaque, frosted glass with a slightly yellowish light.
The combination of these nuances will allow you to achieve good and soft lighting, which will positively affect the guests, relaxing them.
Is there a staircase in your hallway
Any ladder can be turned into an asset, especially with some helpful tips. For example, a spiral staircase must be accompanied by local lighting to emphasize its dignity.
Advantage in lighting
Spiral stairs have such an intriguing shape that it makes sense to turn them into the centerpiece of a hallway.
All the charm in one staircase
A straight staircase is good for its functionality - there is nothing simpler and more convenient than organizing spacious shelves under it, which, moreover, look quite aesthetically pleasing.
Oh, those little shelves!
With color and detail, you can make the staircase a feature, or hide it in shadow, minimizing its effect to accent hallway furniture or other aspects.
Focus on furniture and its details
Smooth lines
Everything new is well forgotten old. In hallway design, arches and rounded corners of furniture are becoming increasingly popular. The trend is associated with the return of 1970s fashion. Even if you are not in the mood to completely change the appearance of the room, you can add visual comfort with the help of accessories: an oval mirror, a round door mat, an abstract painting or painting in the form of rounded geometric shapes.
How to decorate a staircase
Consider whether you want the stairs to be carpeted and, if so, what color. Wood planks are also good options for stairs.
Wooden board is the optimal solution for stairs
Although here it is always important to carefully consider the material used to provide a non-slip surface (which is very important for health and safety).
Think about what kind of coating to complement this staircase
Painting the railings an attractive shade or using shiny metal stair rails to support people climbing are also good ways to make your staircase look thoughtful.
Turn on your imagination - create a masterpiece
Most popular colors
2020 continues to delight lovers of unusual color solutions. Mint and sky blue shades, soft orange and purple tones, all white and gray options are in fashion.
Black shades are presented in a wide range: from gray graphite to inky-cosmic options.
Which style to choose for the hallway
Here I have collected several different ideas for styling the hallway, so that you are sure to find something that you will like.
For example, a modern-style hallway is great for creating a chic first impression, while a country-style hallway will help create a feeling of coziness and warmth.
Feel the warmth and comfort in “Country” style
Here's a good rule of thumb for hallway design - think about what style the rest of the house is in, and then ensure your hallway matches that.
Distinctly find a style just for you
Although, of course, while your head is buzzing with style ideas, you can renovate several other rooms at the same time as the hallway.
Minimum things - maximum space
Below are three key themes you can apply to your entryway. You may feel pleasantly surprised by the wide range of different design options.
Feel like a great comfort creator
For example, when it comes to a hallway in a minimalist style, critics are often skeptical, but below you will see that a minimalist style can actually look very solid.
Even the minimum is tasteful
Cabinets
Modern hallways try to rid as much as possible of unnecessary or rarely used things, and hide everything else behind beautiful and neat facades of storage systems.
A wardrobe can best cope with this function. It has compact dimensions, does not require additional space for opening the doors, and securely holds the mirror built into it.
Thanks to the fairly large interior space, compartments are perfect for storing small items of clothing: scarves, mittens, hats, outerwear, shoes, care items, and all of the above items.
Hinged cabinets are less popular, but are still used quite often.
Hallway in Art Nouveau style
A modern hallway style will feature lots of Chic touches and shiny metallic embellishments:
- think spacious white or light walls, metal stair railings and elegant furniture;
- if you have space in the hallway, you can also place a small modern sculpture on a beautiful table or hang some modern art on the walls to surprise your guests and arouse their admiration;
- Getting creative with your lighting system is also a great idea for a modern hallway, and you can experiment with large industrial-style metal lamps or small lamps in futuristic glass and silver.
Elegant classic furniture is minimalism
This entryway style is simply perfect for ultra-modern apartments as it really fits in with the sleek and urban feel of modern city architecture.
Urbanistic mood of modern city architecture
However, you can also create a spacious and well-designed modern hallway in an older apartment building simply by adding a few of your own personal touches to the design.

Decor
A modern hallway is not a place where a lot of decor is needed. Minimalist styles require removing everything unnecessary. And there will be less dust in the apartment.
So it’s better to limit yourself to a large mirror, which, by the way, will add light, original lamps, and small paintings.
Hallway in country style
Invite people into your traditional style home with a rustic entryway:
- Go eco-friendly by using dominant green with pale green wallpaper and foliage patterns, or adding simple bare wood shelves next to bright white walls;
- add countryside paintings on the walls, some wildflowers in a vase by the door, and cover the floor with a soft rug to create a cozy, warm feeling.
Shades of greenery and wood – warmth and comfort
This entryway style is ideal for nature lovers and those who feel close to the countryside.
Ideal for nature lovers
It is also suitable for all those who want to base their home interior design on traditional values in matters of hospitality and friendliness.

Calm finishing colors
Classic hallway shades (light brown, beige, gray, blue) are still in fashion due to their ability to visually enlarge the room and calm frayed nerves.
However, many owners of modern apartments consider calm colors too dull. To avoid this, you can use small tricks with color, lighting, furniture, and decor.
Hallway in a minimalist style
Minimalist design has a unique appeal.
Nothing extra to create a hallway design
It is characterized by an aesthetic centered around simple lines and bare walls (contemporary art galleries are often the quintessential minimalist spaces). Minimalist design is inherently clean and simple.
Minimalist design is inherently clean and simple.
But while it may be perceived as a basic approach, designers with minimalist tendencies are literally spatial architects who are forced to create something new out of almost nothing.
Creating a new look from almost nothing
Their understanding of space and form is of paramount importance. This type of decoration is especially suitable for homes with small hallways, as it has an uncluttered, light and spacious look.
Spaces and shapes are of paramount importance
But, if you want, you can decorate a very large hallway in a minimalist style. Think clean walls, minimal furniture and simple but effective lighting.
Minimal furniture, simple lighting
Functionality is an expression of minimalism and to focus on it, it is necessary that every thing in the room is used, has its own purpose and meaning.
Use everything, remove the unnecessary
Choosing a minimalist style is the most effective way to deal with clutter, but don't think it's completely impersonal.
You can effectively express yourself and your thoughts in this style in a way that makes them look vibrant.
The best way to deal with clutter
I added my favorite floral accessories to the wall lighting niches that were specifically designed for the interior.

This trick enlivened my interior - contrasts and some mixing of styles are very popular now.
Choose the best color for a minimum of things
Carefully chosen wall colors, clever under-stairs storage options, and no more than one piece of art will create your own zen-like hallway.

Vivid details
For those apartment owners who are afraid of using too bright colors, but do not want the tranquility of pastel shades, the 2022 hallway design suggests the use of bright details that attract attention.
They can be painted wall elements, a pattern on the floor, door inserts, paintings.
And the doors themselves to different rooms can be completely different in color, texture, and design. The main thing is that it all looks harmonious and does not create the impression of a village fair.
6 more ideas for designing your hallway
These tips will help you think through ergonomics and decor.
Mirrors
Floor and oversized mirrors play an important role in expanding a space, but the trick is to make sure they reflect something interesting and not just a painted wall.
Expand your space with a mirror
Also apply glossy, reflective flooring to reflect light around and make the area feel as spacious as possible.
Maximum spacious area due to reflective flooring
Faded, fawn shades, as well as light blue or soft green, improve the perception of the room.
But if the hallway is dark, choose deeper shades to enhance the visual impact of the room and add interest.
Visual effect and zest in the interior
A little drama
A large square hallway can be just as challenging to design as a narrow hallway.
Difficulties in designing a square room
It is often left without thoughtful design and looks like a half-empty, boring room.
A round ottoman or other seating in the middle of the room will provide a practical and soft focal point, as well as accent color and elevation in the center of the space.
Ottoman solves everything
A center table paired with a spotlighted sculpture or vase of flowers can also look dramatic, although this may not be the best solution if you have small children in the house.
A mirror will create harmony in the room
If the room isn't large enough for centerpiece furniture, a bold rug will add balance and interest.
Mat for balance and symmetry
More individualism
The trend is to paint the walls in a neutral color to create the effect of being one with the living room, thereby maximizing the area.
Everything in one color - balance in space
But since this is a walk-through space, there is no reason not to experiment with stronger colors and patterns as local decor.
Use patterns where it is truly appropriate
After all, this is a public place that should reflect family identity.
Family idyll in interior details
I often use something unusual for entryway designs because I believe this area of the home especially needs a smile from both family and guests.
Interesting solution, creative approach
Correcting problem areas
While the color of your hallway walls doesn't have to match the rest of the rooms that follow, there should still be some kind of cohesive element or theme between the rooms.
Connecting colors with other rooms
This helps the “dynamics” of the house and creates a feeling of cohesion. If you're looking to rebalance a very high ceiling, a bold horizontal stripe in a contrasting color that continues the line of the staircase is very effective and will add a dynamic feel to the space.
Adding color brings life to a space
For a busy hallway with lots of kids, strollers and toys, try paneling the walls.
Use of multiple materials
They suit both traditional and contemporary interiors and are my favorite choice as they provide an elegant, textured look that will stand up to the brunt of everyday life.
Use acrylic paint for them, which is easy to apply and gives a long-lasting, washable finish.
Or for the most modern look, paint the walls a matte taupe, adding pops of color with other furnishings to balance out the style.
Finishing materials
As finishing materials, preference, as before, is given to non-stainable, easy-to-clean types of finishing.
For the floor, these are porcelain stoneware, tiles, linoleum, self-leveling flooring.
For walls, the main clothing remains hallway wallpaper, decorative plaster, paint, artificial stone, tiles, PVC or wood panels.
An excellent solution for finishing ceilings would be to use modern tension surfaces, the same wallpaper and painting.
Minimalism
This style involves using a minimum of furniture, making facades to match the color of the walls, using only two, maximum three, colors in light tones.
Light and color are the defining elements of this movement, which can be characterized in two words: originality and restraint. And photos of new hallway designs for 2022 perfectly confirm this.
Metal, glass, and plastic are great for decoration.
This design will look great in both small and spacious rooms.
