Hallway Ideas

Featuring design tips and product recommendations, these hallway ideas can help elevate an entrance hall. Find real-life inspiration from customer homes, plus advice on recreating these looks and layouts. From storage to keep the cloakroom clutter-free, to smart swaps that will maximise natural light in a narrow entranceway, transform this often-overlooked space, so it always makes a stylish first impression.

1. Fit a functional Floor

For high traffic areas, like a hallway, choose a hardwearing vinyl floor. @bobbins.at.home has chosen this durable option for a long-lasting finish.

2. Showcase a staircase

Turn stairs into a centrepiece with glass panels. These add a modern feel while allowing light to flow through, keeping an entrance hall feeling spacious.

3. Connect with nature

Bring the outdoors in using solid timber entryways, like @emilyatrowancottage. This premium feature can be sanded and refinished for changing trends.

4. Style on both sides

Pick a product that looks stylish inside and out with composite designs, which are weather-resistant, fully insulated, and have all the parts for a fast refresh.

5. Illuminate an entrance

Introducing a glazed doorway will maximise the flow of natural light. This creates a hallway that feels inviting and open.

6. Make it match

Opt for neutral white panels that are easily matched to woodwork and other features, for a cohesive hallway scheme that can adapt to changing trends.

7. Focus on finer details

Give entryways a quick refresh by replacing tired baseboards. Use them to punctuate a dark design or customise in a pale hue to complement light decors.

8. Add a rustic touch

Create a casual country entryway by utilising decorative wall panels, like @bobbins.at.home. This can add character to an often overlooked space.

9. Go for instant impact

Introduce dark doorway furniture for a lobby area that packs a punch. Match black handpulls with dark timbers for a statement aesthetic.

10. Stack up storage

Declutter an entrance with tower cupboards. @lakesidecarpentry has used tall units to maximise wall space and stash outdoor gear out of sight.
