How to make your entrance hall and hallway shine

Hallways and entrances are like the handshake of your home. They set the tone, even if you only pass through them for a few seconds. With a few clever tweaks, you can make these small spaces feel bigger, brighter, and more personal. Here’s how I love to approach them.

Light it up

Since these spaces rarely get much natural light, adding layered lighting makes all the difference. Think of wall lamps for a soft glow, a pendant for drama, or even a small table lamp on a console for that cozy touch. It’s amazing how light can instantly change the mood.

Mirror check

Mirrors are my go-to trick for narrow or dark hallways. They bounce light around, create depth, and of course are perfect for that final look before heading out the door. Bonus points if you pick one with an interesting shape that doubles as art.

Smart storage

Clutter is the fastest way to kill the vibe. Slim consoles, floating shelves, or a stylish row of hooks help keep coats, keys, and bags in check. The trick is combining function with style so your storage feels intentional, not like an afterthought.

Rug love

A hallway without a rug feels unfinished. Think of a colourful doormat or a  runner instantly adds softness underfoot and helps guide the flow through your space. Plus, it’s the perfect opportunity to bring in a splash of color or texture.

Bring in colour

Hallways are the perfect playground for colour because you don’t linger there for too long. A painted ceiling, a vibrant stairwell, or a bold shade on the walls makes a huge impact with little effort. Go as subtle or as daring as you like, and let this space surprise you every time you walk through.

Personal touch

This is where you make it yours. A small vase with flowers, a candle that greets you with scent, or a framed print that makes you smile. These little details transform an in-between space into one that feels alive and welcoming.
