The idea is to think of the theme and decorate hallways and entrance accordingly, so that it complements the rest of the decoration and theme. There are many possibilities and ways to make the hallways look amazingly beautiful and here are a few quick and simple hacks you may like to try while decorating the hallway.

  • Bright paint: Pick a bright shade for the hallways, and trick the eyes successfully. The hallways are generally smaller spaces in the house, and you can create an illusion of a bigger space by painting it in whites, creams and pastel shades. The faded shades will reflect light and will make the space look larger than the actual size.
  • Remove the clutter: In order to make the space look nice, you must get rid of all the clutter and congestion. If the place is stacked with unused or unwanted items, then either put them ons ale or donate them in charity. But do not stuff them in your hallways and destroy the beauty of the space.
  • Lights: Make the place brighter; do not neglect the space to be useless and unimportant. The bright lights can also make the space look bigger. You can use ceiling lights, or half concealed lights to illuminate the space.
  • Floors: A rectangular carpet, leaving one inch gap on each side is the perfect way of decorating the floors. You can use popping and bright carpet colours contrast to the floors so that the place looks interesting.
  • Walls: If you do not want the dull and bare walls guarding the hallway, then you can hang some pictures on it. You can go with any pictures which go well with the place, any natural scene, or Radha-Krishna duo, or Lord Buddha or Ganesh, some abstract paintings like that of Monet etc.
  • Plants: On the sides of the hallway, you can keep potted plants, which will give you a felling that you are walking across a garden. There are green carpets available, designed in the shape of grass you can also use it in the hallway.
