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.

This hallway has a lot of great assets.

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.
