Whether you love the look of a Turkish vintage, or the simple texture of an affordable jute, a runner is a no fail way to spruce up your hallway. We love this runner here paired with those woven baskets on the wall. Such a pretty combination of texture and pattern.

From a giant statement planter to a simple basket filled with faux stems, a little pop of green can make your hallway feel fresh and inspiring.
Statement Lighting
Hallway lighting is often recessed, or a basic flush mount. Elevate the design with pendants that make a statement.
Natural Light
If you are starting from scratch and building your dream home, consider adding natural light to your hallways through windows, glass doors, or skylights. The effect creates a fresh, welcoming environment.
Gallery Wall
Long hallways are perfect for a linear collection of photos or art. Here monochromatic white adds interest while still feeling crisp and clean, or go bold with frames and prints in a mix of colors, wood tones, and metals.
Built-in Storage
If you are remodeling your home, consider adding storage closets to your hallway. It is a great place to store linens, holiday decor, or games.
Bench Seating
Whether built-in or a favorite wooden or woven, bench seating in a wide hallway can make the space useful in more ways than one. This especially makes sense if your hallway is at the top of the stairs or leads to a back door.
Statement Tile
Give your hallway a personality of it’s own with statement tile that sets it apart. The look is functional and beautiful.
With a few unique design details, you can transform your hallway. The overall effect will add beauty and character to your home.
