"Consider your entryway as the grand unveiling to your home rather than just being a neglected corridor or hallway used as somewhere to dump your coats and shoes."
Make it Personal
Your hallway is the first window to your world but so many people treat this area as a transitional throwaway space, so be a little braver, venture out of your comfort zone and create a space that exaggerates your personality and gives guests a little teaser of your unique style and what to expect in the rest of your pad.
What colour to paint a hallway with no windows?
As this space is such a transitional area you can up the ante with colour and be dramatic even if you have little or no natural light. Going a little out of your comfort zone and using a bolder hue will add real wow factor. Just make sure that you paint everything out in the same colour, walls, ceiling, doors and skirting boards and your narrow hallway will appear much bigger than it really is. Just remember that whatever hue you're thinking of going, make sure you paint out the biggest sample you can and look at it throughout the day to see how it performs in different kinds of light.

How to Dress a Hallway Table.
A hallway table is a hard working piece of furniture. It needs to be stylish and reflect the tone and personality of the rest of your home, but needs to be practical too. Layer up your table or console with intriguing sculpture, botanicals and art in differing heights and textures.
Where to put a Mirror in the Hallway.
Large, medium or small, a mirror is a must have for your hallway. Apart from being able to check that you look presentable to the world just before you answer the door or head off to work, the reflective qualities will bounce the light around the room and create intriguing shadows. As hallways are notoriously narrow, adding a mirror will also help to extend the boundaries and trick the eye to make your space look bigger.

Final Thoughts.
Your hallway is the first window to your world but so many people treat this area as a transitional throwaway space, so be a little braver, venture out of your comfort zone and create a space that exaggerates your personality and gives guests a little teaser of your unique style and what to expect in the rest of your pad. Decorate it with as much conviction as you would your living room. A cool mirror, a lovely colour on the walls, a shelf, table or console for your decorative styling and storage that looks fabulous as well as hiding all the boring practical stuff and you've nailed it!
