How to decorate a hallway

From storage and lighting to furniture and wallpaper, follow our essential guide

Make a statement

Hallways are only used as a walk-through, so you can afford to make a statement.

Experiment with eye-catching wallpaper and bright patterns. Avoid plain white walls as these can get grubby easily.

If you'd rather keep your walls neutral, opt for a colourful hallway runner. Just make sure it is hard-wearing as this is a high traffic area.

  •   Don't forget the finishing touches  

Position flowers on a nearby table for a welcoming first impression or hang photos on the walls for a personal touch.
