5) Wall Decorations

Hanging decorations and storing hats, boots and accessories is a great way to install functional artworks into your hallway. Instead of a closet, leaving these items out in the open creates an interactive artwork space that feels like a period piece from a bygone era.

6) Bench

Add timeless style to your hallway with a stunning oak bench, providing a wide range of functional purposes that make your hallway comfortable and practical. Decorate with colourful pillows and artwork to create a living area in your hallway that can hold sports equipment, blankets or even small plants to brighten your home.

7) Hooks

Utilize hooks on the wall of your hallway to create a minimalist, stylized space for hanging anything from coats to purses. Instead of cluttering the space, using small hooks creates a simple way to display your accessories without much hard work.

8) Artwork

Well-placed art can help a small hallway exert maximum impact. The grid of framed photos defines the entry area, and a long shelf serves as an obvious catchall for keys and other accessories s you look through the windows and doors. Decorate with plants and other accessories to create a stylish display for your guests.

9) Baskets

Rather than trying to force function into a small space, take the opportunity to make a unique impact on your hallway through a collection of objects and artwork. A basket under the ledge allows for out-of-sight storage of any accessories that might detract from the display.

10) Mirrors

Create a small nook with mirrors to make perfect place to take a load off at the end of the day and check your make-up before you go out. Equipped with a storage bench, this entry is both pretty to look at and useful. The mirror also visually doubles the space, making it feel grander.
