Three ways to create a practical and stylish hallway

Whether you have a grand hallway, a small porch or only a few coat hooks, creating an entryway that is both practical and stylish can be tricky. Having a clear vision is key to stopping things becoming cluttered or messy.

In this post I’ve pulled together three simple looks – boho, industrial and blush – any of which will create a space to help set you up for the day and welcome you home at night.

Depending on the size of your space try to include a mirror, a console table or shelf, lighting, storage and maybe somewhere to sit and take off your shoes. See 15 Inspiring Small Hallway Ideas for more.

Boho Hallway Ideas

Industrial Hallway Ideas

Keep things cosy in an apartment or open plan entryway with the industrial look. Layer monochrome accessories with wood, metal, leather and feature lighting. Upcycled, vintage or thrift store finds will add character.

Blush Hallway Ideas

Or why not create an opulent oasis of calm with the blush and metallic trend? Combine soft pinks and greys with sleek marble, rose gold or copper accents. Look for clean lines and geometric shapes to keep things uncluttered.
