Hallway Decorating Ideas

Hallways can be a real challenge to decorate.

If they’re narrow (like mine) there’s not much you can do with them.

If they’re dotted with doors, you’re limited in what you can hang on the wall.

Today I’ve collected 10 hallway decorating ideas from Houzz.

Another hallway turned mudroom, this one contains farmhouse elements.

A crock on the floor cradles umbrellas and walking sticks while a peg rail holds coats.

A long bench creates a place to sit while removing boots and shoes.

I hope these hallway decorating ideas have provided a little inspiration!

I know they’ve got me thinking about what to do with my ho-hum upstairs hall.

  1. Love those with the wood floors. I have dark brown painted floors and I’m wondering if I should attempt to remove the paint and try to get it back to its natural state or paint them a lighter shade. Love the breadboard and wainscoting and the lighting as jewellery. I recently painted our hallway and doors all white and installed a gallery wall on the wall opposite the stairs to draw the eye up from the first floor. I’m still trying to decide what to do with our main floor hallway with the stairwell. Thanks for the great post.
