A small family hallway with a big welcome

This welcoming hallway in traditional style is small, but it always feels like there’s enough space even when the whole family is using it. There’s tidy storage for outdoor things, furniture that’s simple, calm and with interesting details, plus lots of inspiration from nature.

Two white HEMNES shoe cabinets with 4 compartments are in a bright hallway opposite some clothes hanging from hooks.

Co-ordinating with colours

A good mix of furnishings organises all the things this hallway needs to store. Everything matches and creates a feeling of calm because of the shared colour scheme. We boosted this by painting the stools in pale tones as a base and then added a hat and mitten in the same green as the wallpaper.

A hallway for the whole family

This hallway has practical ideas and nature-inspired décor to suit both kids and adults. We’ve used the windowsill as a display area, with some handmade bamboo baskets that keep the little things tidily together and fit well with the theme and the look.

Hooks in harmony

There’s plenty of space to hang things thanks to the parallel metal hooks and porcelain knobs on these racks. And their classic style and timeless materials blend in harmoniously with the personality of this hallway.
