Narrow Hallways

One of the secrets to a well designed home is to make use of all the space you have. You don't have to renovate, just learn to decorate with what you have.  Some of the best designs come from homeowners working with the quirks of their home.

A lot of people neglect narrow hallways, not knowing really what to do with them. Don't let the fact that it's narrow, cause you to neglect the space. Decorating a narrow hallway can be the finishing touches to a well feathered nest.

Sometimes, the best way to decorate a small space is to put all of the design into the floor, wall, and ceiling. Another words, leave out the photos and console tables, instead choose flooring in an interesting design. Moldings on the wall lend to the architectural detail, and choosing an interesting light fixture can finish off the space.

  2. I love the photo wall in the hallway. I like to decorate with photos but it's hard to find the right layout for all of them.

    1. I like that photo, too. I understand the frustration. For me it's figuring which layout I want. There are so many to choose from!

  3. I love this advice! It just kills the look of an otherwise nice house when people neglect their hallways. I'm really wanting to do something special with mine.

    1. Thanks, Brooke! I am thinking something special for mine, too! I can't figure out if I want to do something different for me, or go glam in the hallway. I'd like to see what you do with yours.:)
