Heavenly Halls!

Its easy to focus all of our decorating energy on the public spaces of our home and forget the smaller connecting spaces! Well, hallways are a great place to inject personality and style into your home.  Bursts of color, pattern, and chic details are such an unexpected surprise in a hall. Usually you are working with tight quarters - but with a few clever solutions these halls can really make a statement!

A little furniture grouping like the chest, light pendant, and mirror {image above} - or even a small chair - makes the hall feel more like a room. And the vibrant wall paper here is so much fun! {via}

A bold striped rug adds lots of visual interest to this hall {via}

This space is already lovely with big windows and herringbone floors but the contrast of the black wainscoting and the fancy chandelier really add drama! {via}

Punchy geometric tiled floors in brown and white make the most of a simple hallway {via}

These decorative corbel brackets give the space so much architectural style - and I love the oversized light pendant! {via}

Designer Jonathan Berger used shocking pink walls to give energy to this entry hall in a Brooklyn brownstone {via House Beautiful}

Ticking stripe wall paper {or maybe its fabric!} looks great in this slightly awkward hall! {via}

A picture gallery is a great way to decorate a hall - I love how Steven Gambrel uses all deep red frames to unify everything! {via Canadian House and Home}

These dreamy floor length portiere curtains make a regular hall feel so romantic - keeping this one in my inspiration file! {via}

Lastly, this charming but narrow entry hall uses a wonderful soft green blue paint, a lively patterned runner and a creative chalkboard to welcome visitors! The paint color is Palladium Blue by Ben Moore by the way! {via}
