Hallway color ideas – 10 statement schemes that will brighten up any entrance

Getting hallway color ideas right can be a challenge. The hallway is the first area that greets us as we walk through the door, so should ideally set the tone for the rest of the house, but all too often it’s a neglected area with its decorating potential overlooked.

For a hallway to feel warm, welcoming and inviting, color choice is key. Colorful hallways are a fabulous way to create a bold first impression, but it’s not simply a matter of splashing any old color onto the walls. Size of hallway and quality of light need consideration, while hallway paint that complements rooms leading off the hallway all need to be considered too.
