Designing a hallway: The calling card of your home
The hallway is the first thing you and your guests see when you enter your home. It is the showcase of your apartment and has a clear message: this is where your personal kingdom with your very own style begins. But this area in particular is often reduced to functionality - shoe cabinet, coat rack, chest of drawers and that's it. But the hallway has the potential to become a real eye-catcher with just a few simple steps.
The following five hallway furnishing ideas will give you inspiration and help you create an entrance area that makes an impression and is inviting at the same time.
1. Set a highlight: statement wall pictures
A large mural in the hallway can have an immediate impact. Whether abstract, colorful or minimalist - a statement piece draws the eye and creates a focus. Especially in a narrow, elongated or small hallway, an impressive picture provides depth and structure.
Tip: Acrylic glass prints are ideal for this area. Their glossy surface reflects the light and adds a touch of brightness and elegance to the often darker entrance area.
2. A gallery for a positive first impression
Hang a gallery wall with different formats and motifs. Combine photographs, illustrations and abstract art to create an exciting and personal gallery. Make sure to coordinate the frames and colors to create a harmonious overall picture.
Idea: Prints on Hahnemühle Fine Art paper are particularly suitable for smaller formats. The velvety feel gives every picture a high-quality, elegant look - perfect for a gallery that catches the eye.
3. Use the space vertically: Art in narrow hallways
If the hallway is tight on space, you can work with vertical artwork or an elongated arrangement of pictures. This turns the wall into a design element without taking up valuable floor space.
Creative approach: A narrow print on aluminum dibond, perhaps with a minimalist black and white motif, emphasizes the length of the hallway and underlines a modern interior.
4. Add vibrant color accents
Bring color into the hallway by choosing wall pictures in bold colors. Whether a deep blue, a warm orange or a bright green - color accents bring your entrance area to life and create a welcoming atmosphere.
Tip for bold designs: Choose a large-format work with an abstract play of colors or geometric patterns. Acrylic glass prints bring out the colors particularly well and at the same time look modern and stylish.
5. Art meets function: combining practical and decorative elements
A hallway should not only look good, but also be functional. Combine practical furniture such as console tables or shoe benches with wall pictures that visually enhance the area. A suitable work of art above a small piece of furniture creates a harmonious overall picture.
Extra idea: A single, eye-catching image with clean lines on brushed aluminum dibond goes perfectly with modern furniture and gives your entrance area a subtle elegance.
Hallway design that is sure to inspire
The hallway may be a small space, but it has a big impact. With the right wall art, coordinated colors, and clever placement, you can turn your entryway into a design statement.
Whether it's a single statement piece, an artistic gallery or targeted color accents - high-quality art makes all the difference. Because an inviting hallway is not only the perfect start to your home, but also the best first impression for your guests.
