A neutral hallway décor can create the illusion of a bright, airy space especially if you are designing a small hallway. Off-whites also come in big variety of undertones, so you have endless variations to create a spacious minimalist inspired hallway design. 3. Crittal Entrance Replacing a hallway wall with Crittall-style doors works perfectly especially in smaller properties as it makes the space feel larger and more airy. It has the ability to completely transform your space; providing a show stopping entrance, giving it a more modern and cooler look, opening up space and enhancing light while maintaining some separation. 4. Stylish Geometric Floors for a Contemporary Hallway Investing in geometric floor tiles is a stylish, contemporary hallway decorating idea that creates the illusion of space and can complement your chosen colour scheme. Maximise the natural light with crittal glass doors, a large mirror and furniture that blends into the rest of the scheme. 5. Make A Statement The style of your front door should be one of the first things to consider in order to keep up with the style of the rest of the house. Choose a design that suits your scheme such as an Edwardian style front door, which tend to be elegant and refined. These doors normally feature simple panelling and stained glass. Consider adding a stylish statement light to be a focal point of your space. A clear shade that shows off the bulb won’t look flashy especially in a small hallway.
