Hallway

The hallway is often forgotten but connects all rooms. Well-decorated, it becomes a gallery, storage, or a bright space.

The hallway: a gallery of frames along the wall, a slim console, a mirror to enlarge the space, a luminous path (recessed spotlights or wall lights). Two-tone paint (wainscoting) for character.

Pitfall: a hallway cluttered with furniture that blocks the passage. Keep a minimum of 80 cm clear width for comfortable movement.

To effectively light your hallway, opt for ambient lighting with wall sconces or a ceiling fixture that diffuses a soft and warm light. You can also use a combination of lights with recessed LED spotlights to create a more modern ambiance.

The choice of hallway flooring is important for a harmonious result. Opt for durable and easy-to-maintain materials such as tiles, laminate flooring, or linoleum. Avoid carpets, which can quickly get dirty in this high-traffic area.

In a narrow hallway, opt for slim and tall furniture like consoles or wall shelves to store your belongings without cluttering the passage. You can also install a mirror to create the illusion of more space.

To enlarge the space of a hallway, choose light and bright colors like white, beige, or pastel tones. Avoid dark tones that would tend to shrink the space. You can also play on reflections with glossy surfaces.

A hallway can easily become a practical storage space. Install slim and tall furniture such as cabinets, shelves, or wall niches to store your shoes, coats, or accessories. You can also add hooks or coat racks for smart storage.
