Soft neutrals can help a hallway feel lighter, while warmer tones can make the space feel more welcoming. Consider how much natural light the hallway gets before choosing a shade.
Slim console tables, mirrors and compact storage work well in narrow hallways. Choose pieces that sit close to the wall and leave enough room to walk comfortably.
Use a mirror to reflect light, keep furniture simple and choose a runner rug to guide the eye through the space. Lighter colours can also help the hallway feel more open.
Use storage cabinets, baskets or compact furniture to keep everyday items tidy. Focus on pieces that suit your routine, such as somewhere for shoes, post or small essentials.
