Hallways

Hallways can be great spaces to show off artwork. A large ethnic rug is a great way of bringing color and interest to a hallway. Hang it length ways for the biggest impact and keep the rest of the space neutral so it doesn't feel too cluttered.




This entry hall takes advantage of the space by placing a smart console with room for extra storage. This is a great way to keep clutter hidden and to only show the decorative pieces you want to see.




Draw attention to original features while maintaining a modern feel by painting woodwork and paneling in a soft gray eggshell paint. This gray works well with the black and white color scheme especially if you prefer a softer feel. For a more edgy, modern color approach, paint the wood molding in a rich satin charcoal and accent the picture molding in a rich, hot magenta, would be very hip!




This hall uses an interesting console that has some decorative detailing which when placed against a stark white wall creates some interest. The pattern on the carpet along with the art really help to make this hall space active yet crisp.
