Updating The Most Neglected Space: Our Hallway Design Plans

We’re at it again! We’ve started merely about other renovation. Just a brace of weeks agone I revealed out Master Closet Design Plans, in addition to nosotros are currently knee-deep inwards fixing upwardly that space! But that won’t halt us from earthworks into 2 projects at once, lol. Hallways are the spaces that nosotros tackle terminal aren’t they? I’ve honestly never designed a hallway before! It didn’t appear similar an of import space. But I’ve since realized the visual acquit upon that a hallway tin ship away choose in addition to the way that it tin ship away laid the note for the residuum of the home. Here’s how I came to our electrical flow hallway blueprint plans.

Thanks for supporting my spider web log thus I tin ship away overstep on to choose you lot posts similar these. For to a greater extent than information, run across the disclosure page.*

Let me merely remind you lot what we’re working with. This was the hallway at Green Acres earlier nosotros moved in. It’s a beautiful broad infinite that has a lot of potential! And did you lot notice the arch leading into the hallway from this side? That architectural characteristic adds thus much character.

A few of our initial hallway blueprint ideas:

• Change the flooring – lighten it up


• Add a long runner


• Paint the walls white


• Change the lite fixtures to something to a greater extent than modern


• Add barn doors to supersede the sliding pantry doors (which also agency removing those upper cupboards – which aren’t that practical anyway)


• Add merely about novel decor (i.e. bench, console table, artwork, planter, hooks, etc).

So where produce nosotros start?

With the ceiling of course! I honey the await of the cage-like lite fixtures correct now. And nosotros all know how much I honey the contrast of dark in addition to white! I actually found a pair of lights for an amazing cost at Homesense! Very similar to these ones or these ones.

And this hallway needs a runner! The broad hallway is merely screaming for something beautiful to line our attention.

Here are a few options that I LOVED:

hallway carpet 1 / hallway carpet 2 / hallway carpet 3

As for the pantry, nosotros knew nosotros needed to larn rid of those sliding doors, but nosotros genuinely had to brainstorm a beautiful way to produce it. The openings are non touchstone width, thus nosotros can’t merely add together doors. Did you lot know that you lot tin ship away larn barn doors that cross inwards front end of ane another? And that are longer in addition to thus the painting demo below? We are getting 2 barn doors that volition sit down on rails in addition to cross behind ane merely about other from Renin, in addition to I’m SO excited to install them!

I’ll move sharing adjacent calendar week nigh our flooring province of affairs too! (*hint* nosotros are non removing the tile!). Stay tuned!

What produce you lot hollo upwardly of our plans? Any suggestions?
