We decorated the living room to the millimeter. We made the bedroom so beautiful that we'll never want to leave it. We transformed the bathroom into a new wellness space. But... what about hallways or passages? Usually, these areas of houses are unattractive ducks left forgotten during decoration.

To solve the issue of decorating these passage areas, we can offer you several ideas on how to decorate these zones of your home.

What to Do with Hallways?

Hallways have supporters (they claim it helps divide more social and private parts of the house) and opponents who hide in space loss. The fact is that decorating them so they integrate into the overall home space is usually a problem for many, as many homes have narrow and dark hallways.

From KNOWHAUS we suggest betting on solutions that visually shorten them and illuminate. Among techniques to achieve these goals, we should choose light colors, as they brighten the space and give a sense of openness.

Also, don't forget installing mirrors, placing them at certain points without obstruction, or closing doors so that when they're shut, even if they block light passage, the mirror's reflective effect visually increases space and volume. The hallway doesn't seem so narrow or long.

Another widely used solution by interior designers is to use wall height for creating a panoramic window, which allows light to pass between rooms. What should be avoided according to KNOWHAUS is wooden cladding or dark panels, as they intensify the feeling of narrowness and darkness.

Goodbye, Doors

Another trick to give a greater sense of space in the house and visually shorten hallways is removing unnecessary doors. In older homes, hallways are full of doors closing off passages to different rooms, but today, with the trend toward open spaces above, removing some of these doors is essential, especially those connecting hallways with the living room, dining room or even a hallway. Thus, hallway lighting also improves.
