Wallpaper For The Hallway: A Bright and Bold Opportunity

The hallway is an intriguing area, acting as a conduit between rooms. Often disregarded, the hallway offers a vast potential for something distinctive. You typically catch just a fleeting view of the hallway from any room it links to. Yet, that brief view can bring a smile to your face. Walking down the hallway might make you feel as if you’re strutting down your very own runway. Here are some tips to transform your hallways from mundane to memorable.

LIGHT AND BRIGHT HALLWAY WALLPAPER

Hallways are commonly dark spaces since all the windows are in the rooms, leaving the hallways feeling gloomy and moody. Steer clear of dark paint or wallpaper if your hallway is already quite dim; it can make the space feel cramped. Opt for something light and bright when selecting wallpaper for your hallway to completely change the feel of your home.

Jenna from the Rain On A Tin Roof blog transformed her mudroom and hallway with the Hawthorn design. This vibrant bird wallpaper, with its splashes of green and red, injects plenty of light and colour into the hallway. Additionally, the lattice installed on the lower wall section imparts a charming country cottage feel.

BOLD HALLWAY WALLPAPER

Hallways don’t need to adhere to a particular theme, much like powder rooms, providing an excellent opportunity for something bold and unique. Even if your bedroom embraces the Scandi minimalist aesthetic, your hallway can be the lively companion, best enjoyed in short bursts, perhaps with a drink in hand. After all, you’re only passing through. So, why not make the journey through your hallway an adventure with a daring wallpaper choice?

Geometric Hallway wallpaper

You can enhance the perception of height and depth by going with something a bit geometric. Make a hallway feel longer or taller by going with a simple stripe design. And if you want to affect perception and achieve all of the above, go with a geometric design that is both bright and bold. Here, Jewel Marlowe of Jeweled Interiors uses the Simplemente Puntos design.

However, not all hallways are the same. Some are dark, enclosed spaces with rooms branching off. Others might have just one wall with a rail or window on the side, where light and space are more abundant. Here, you might not need to avoid dark wallpapers. In fact, a single-sided geometric wallpaper could look unusual. In such cases, a textured wallpaper can be a delightful addition to your decor. Conversely, if your hallway is quite open to the rest of the house, adhering to the overall theme might be wise.

In the image below, Shavonda Gardner opted for the City Scape design just above the chair rail, preventing the dark blue wallpaper from overwhelming the space. With white walls above and below, the hallway becomes an interesting space with stunning contrast.
