Transitional spaces like hallways, entryways, and mudrooms can be a particularly challenging space to decorate or design. It’s hard to make a hallway feel special or exciting.
If your home has a bad case of “boring hallways,” fear not! There are so many ways you can make them feel just as special as every other room.
Below are some amazing ORC projects with some ideas for how you can create a hallway you love.
Adding an arched doorway can give a hall or transition space a subtle architectural flair that takes it to the next level. Also, bookshelves are always perfect for a hallway— they bring in lots of color while functioning as extra storage.

This mudroom is another great example of visually appealing but functional hallway storage. The pegboard is so cute and interesting, and it reduces clutter in an incredibly efficient way!
VIA STUDIO PLUMB
Something as simple as board and batten can have such a huge impact on making your hall feel unique and memorable. The wallpaper around the door is the cherry on top.
This pressed flowers gallery wall + green beadboard combo is an absolute showstopper. Not all hallways will be wide enough to include furniture like a bench, but it looks lovely here.

Here’s another space with beadboard, this time paired with wallpaper. The fact that the doors, door casings, and beadboard are all painted that lovely shade of blue makes the space feel so cohesive.

Hallways can be just as bold and creative as all your other rooms! That green paint looks amazing in this space.
