I think hallways are great opportunities for things like a gallery wall. If you don’t know how to create one, of course there are some great tips in Betsy’s book and I also like Emily Henderson’s blog about gallery walls.

Hallways should not be dark and dingy. Add lighting with a chandelier, sconces, or lamps. Lighting not only makes your hallway look better, it makes it function better, too. No more tripping over left behind toys in the darkened hallway!

Go dark with paint! It creates a cozy dramatic space, rather than a blank, white, and gloomy one. Then, add pops of color.

Having a place to drop keys and mail makes an entry console a must. And a console that has some storage or space for stools underneath to put shoes on is even better.

I like to keep it simple. A bench, mirror, and hooks for your coat and keys.
