3 narrow hallway ideas with a stylish and welcoming feel

With tones of pale pink, sage green, and pops of blue and orange, this narrow hallway makes for a grand entrance. The pink-painted walls add dimension to the hallway and create a dramatic effect – making the living room at the end of the hall appear brighter. Maximise impact with multiple pendant lamps. The lamps, and the long runners, elongate the space and guide the eye towards the living room. Opt for a slim table for an airy expression. Stools are handy too, for putting on shoes. These ones can simply be placed underneath the table to save space.

Plenty of mirrors and practical shoe storage solutions feature in this traditional-style narrow hallway. With a bright base of white, you can add warmth with gold-tone details, woven rugs and plants. Narrow benches that double as shoe storage are great for a narrow hallway. Add rails with hooks to maximise your wall’s storage capabilities. Placing rugs at an angle breaks up the hallway into different zones. A leafy plant placed high up adds an enveloping feeling and an organic touch to the space.

This bright and playful narrow hallway with a Scandi style is full of fun details while keeping the look uncluttered. Let’s talk about the elephant – rather, the tent – in the room. It helps usher children into the hallway for easy coming and goings, and makes it the most fun room in the house to be in. The walls are painted in a whimiscal yellow colour less than halfway to the ceiling creating an optical illusion. It breaks up the solid corridor of wall, giving it extra depth and character. Multiple shoe racks placed in a line create a practical long bench to sit on while tying up trainers, and surfaces to place bags on.
