Minimalist design ideas to spruce up your hallways

Your home’s hallway is the perfect area for classic and purposeful décor. Minimalist hall décor can brighten up this often-neglected space and make it more eye-catching. Whether you have a grand entrance hall or a small hallway in your home, minimalist hallway décor is an excellent way to spruce up your space.

Start with white walls

Create the perfect base for your minimalist hallway by painting your walls white. No matter the color scheme you’re planning for your décor, a white wall will certainly suit it. White paint can also make narrow hallways look roomier and opens up your space.

Add functional spaces

Who said your hallways should solely be for going around the house and getting from room to room? Make your halls more functional by adding furniture. Place a bench in your entry hallway to make putting on and taking off shoes much easier. Incorporating a lamp into this setup also makes your space warmer and more inviting.

Hang a decorative mirror

Make your minimalist hallway look more interesting by hanging a decorative mirror. Not only will it fill up the vertical space in your halls but also help you get ready whenever you’re going out of the house. You can choose from a variety of mirrors at IKEA to suit the theme you’re going for.

Incorporate some greenery

Plants often don’t thrive indoors because they need ample sunlight to grow. But you can still incorporate some greenery into your décor by buying artificial garlands. These go well above any wall décor you currently have.

Hang artwork for a splash of color

Minimalist hallway décor doesn’t necessarily mean monochromatic themes. You can still add a splash of color to your space with hanged paintings and posters. Whether it be an abstract painting or a movie poster, a piece of artwork makes your walls more interesting.

Make it more personal

Add pictures of your family members, friends, or pets to your hallway décor. Use photo frames that match the theme of your house to hang them on your walls. You don’t have to find identical frames for every picture. Just make sure that their color suits the motif you’ve chosen.

Light up the space

Navigating a hallway in the dark is not only challenging but also dangerous. Make sure you have enough light in this space to walk safely even during the night by hanging pendant lamps. There are many types to choose from, including futuristic and more abstract designs.

Organize your belongings

Keep your jackets, hats, bags, and shoes neatly stored in your entry hallway with racks and rails. With various designs and configurations, you can make your hallways less cluttered while also adding functionality and style.
