Simple Tips for Decorating Your Hallway No comments yet
When it comes to decorating a hallway, some people are completely lost on what to do, even those who find it rather easy to decorate other rooms, such as the dining room and bedrooms. Fortunately, if you are unhappy with your hallway, there are some easy ways to liven things up.
Liven Up a Boring Hallway with a Set of Pictures
A quick and easy way to liven up any hallway in your home is to hang a set of pictures on the wall. If it’s a smaller hallway, however, be sure you hang smaller pictures. After all, you don’t want them to overpower the space. Photographs of the family and loved ones work great in a hallway. Or if you like, you might hang pieces of art instead. Arrange the pictures in whatev er order you like that fits the overall style you’ve created in the home.
Liven Up a Boring Hallway with a Small Table
If your hallway is slightly larger, consider adding a small end table or nightstand to the space. You want to place it flush against the wall off to one side. A good place might be between a set of doors. This is a great place to put a small décor item, such as a vase of flowers, a candle, or a coffee table book of art. Look for an interesting table that adds some style to the hallway. But make sure it’s not going to take up too much space. Remember, you’re going to want to be able to comfortably pass through the hallway, even with the table there.
Liven Up a Boring Hallway with Molding or Trim
Adding molding or decorative trim to a hallway, even if it’s on the smaller side, is a great easy way to liven things up. There are many molding options available, including a chair rail that runs in the middle lower region of the wall or ceiling trim that’s placed between the walls and the ceiling. The trim or molding can be painted a complementary color that will really stand out so that it’s noticeable and adds some character to the space. If you add a chair rail, you can add even more style by painting the top and bottom halves of the wall different colors. For example, you might paint the top half cream and the bottom a darker tan color to add some contrast.
Liven Up a Boring Hallway with an Interesting Light Fixture
There are ways to liven up the hallway without using the walls of the space. By installing a unique and interesting light fixture, you can create interest in the area. If you’re looking to make a statement with the fixture, choose a light fixture that hangs down. Whatever your personal style and taste, you can choose from hundreds of different light fixtures that will each add some appeal to your hallway.
Fortunately, you no longer have to live with a boring hallway. Try one of these simple ideas to create a stylish and appealing hallway to match the rest of your home.
