HOW TO DESIGN A
HALLWAY TO IMPRESS
Hallways are often the most overlooked
spaces in our homes. Most of the time they
are messily chock-full with coats, shoes and
paraphernalia. The hallway should set the
mood and tone for your entire home and
first impressions count, so give your hall the
wow factor.
Dress your hallway with beautiful pieces,
such as with an entry hall table or antique
bevelled edge smoked mirror, to make the
room appear larger. Also, display some
paintings in beautiful frames for an artgallery
type look.
From clever storage solutions and stylish
lighting options to statement stairs and
beautiful tiles there are countless ways to
create a lasting impact.
1. Add Stylish Storage
Consider an all-in-one unit that combines
a coat rack and shoe storage, or a bench
to sit down to take shoes on and off. A
floating console table is also a smart
and stylish storage idea as it offers a chic
surface for a vase of flowers, keys or post.
Add an internal window to bring light in,
give another view onto your front room and
make the hallway space feel larger.
