‘It is easy to forget that an entrance hall is a room,’ says decorating maestro Rita Konig. ‘It often receives corridor status, but it is, in fact, an important space. As the place for arrivals and departures, it sets the tone for the rest of the house, so it needs to be welcoming.’ For this reason, pay as much attention to the stuff in a hallway as you would in any other room, and don’t use it as dumping ground for furniture or art that has no home elsewhere.

Just because you’re moving through a space regularly to get to another room where you might spend longer, that doesn’t make it less important – if anything, it makes it more important. The hallway is nearly always the part of a house that you and your guests will encounter first, so make sure it leaves an impression, perhaps by hanging a statement piece of art in it or by introducing an unusual colour.

Hallway ideas: decoration

Since hallways, especially in city houses, tend to be narrow, the walls are an important feature. Opt for a warm paint colour, some elegant wall panelling, or a patterned wallpaper to lend the space character. Also consider adding wall lights, for a gentler glow than an overhead light. This is a great place to display art. We’ve seen some brilliant examples of statement pieces taking up practically an entire wall, but gallery walls are also a great option in a hallway, perhaps displaying a collection of photographs or botanical prints.

‘Traffic is a consideration when you are decorating,’ notes Rita. ‘The floor, for example, has to be practical while remaining in keeping with the style of the house.’ We love a flagstone hallway, or the traditional tiles you can still find in Victorian houses, but sisal or jute can also be a great, hardwearing option for this space.

Don’t forget to take into account the other rooms you can see from a hallway – if you have easy views into lots of rooms or one particular room, try to keep the colours of the walls tonal, and think about positioning hallway mirrors to allow unexpected glimpses throughout the house. Pocket or sliding doors can also work well for the rooms that lead off a hallway, especially if it is a dark or narrow space, allowing the doors to be open most of the time, letting light flood in.

Hallway ideas: furniture

‘The furniture here should be good,’ continues Rita. If you have enough space, consider a hall table, either a console table that can provide a space for keys, post, along with flowers, lamps and decorative objects, or something a bit grander to go in the centre of the hallway if you have a larger space. ‘The hall table can be quite magnificent – just as it is in many of Robert Kime’s projects, and in William Yeoward and Colin Orchard’s house in Gloucestershire.’ A bench or pair of chairs can also be a great feature, allowing people to perch and take off their shoes, or providing a place to wait as you prepare to leave the house.

Hallway ideas: storage

Finally, hallway storage is absolutely key if you want to maintain tidiness. Hallways are always prone to get cluttered up with shoes, bags, umbrellas, coats and other paraphernalia. A bench with storage built in underneath can be a great option, while wall-mounted storage or a simple row of hooks can work well in super small spaces. If you have a bit more room, a coat rack, wardrobe or built-in joinery can look rather distinguished.

In Matthew Rice's house in the Oxfordshire, the walls of the hall are painted in bright stripes by Matthew’s daughter, Kitty, giving the space a fresh and welcoming feel. On the walls hang cut-paper still life pictures by his mother, the late textile designer Pat Albeck.

Connecting the multi-hued rooms of this colourful cottage, the hallway's architrave is painted in Farrow & Ball's ‘Serge’, next to green doors are ‘Raw Tomatillo’. The embroidered artworks are from local Ramsgate artist Cutts & Sons.

Hallways with no natural light can be challenging to decorate, but the multi-dimensional ‘Terre Jaune’ paint by Argile, chosen here, does a brilliant job of complimenting the cornicing (Stevensons of Norwich) and paneling (Tilly Lasseter at Studio Peake).

Using Edward Bulmer’s rich ‘Brick’ paint (“a very clever colour that goes from brown to red depending on the light"), encaustic tiles and dramatic floor-to-ceiling curtain made from Borderline’s Marchioness in Teal, this hallway deftly reflects the heritage of its inviting Hampshire cottage.

In a home with standard (i.e. fairly large) Georgian proportions, ‘Sudbury Yellow’ by Farrow & Ball helps draw the eye vertically through the hallway and staircase, balancing the space.

When your majestic staircase isn't doing enough on its own, take a leaf out of this Somerset barn's book and paint it with ‘Olive Colour’ by Little Greene before fitting it with a stair runner from Sophie Cooney. The artwork at the top of the landing, here by Mary West, is also arguably imperative.

Elsewhere in Matthew's house, Ham Court, a narrow corridor joins the medieval part of the house to the Victorian extension. The tall cross-shaped windows survive from the time when Ham Court was a castle, built for defenders to fire arrows through in case of attack. ‘For me, the paintings in a house are central – internal windows of your life, profoundly personal,’ says Matthew. ‘I move them around often; shepherding those creatures feels essential to me.’

In Cindy Leveson's flat in south London, walls are painted in varying shades of cool blue: above the dado rail is ‘Pigeon’ by Farrow & Ball with ‘Blue Grey’ below it. Family portraits are among the many artworks on the walls. This one is of John's grandfather painted by his great aunt Mary Macleod.

When a series of events got in the way of her initial plans, interior designer Bunny Turner decided to move from London to this former rectory in Oxfordshire, which turned out to be the perfect place for recovery and renewal. In the hall, a cast of the Elgin Marbles from Lassco hangs over the door, while a panel of Andrew Martin’s ‘Constantinople’ wallpaper serves as a clever alternative to a tapestry above a Turner Pocock x Lorfords Contemporary bench.

‘I’m not afraid of using colour and that’s something my interior design studio is known for,’ explains Ariel Okin, the designer behind this colourful entryway. ‘I wanted the boot room to feel joyous and inviting: the striped wallpaper and green paint give it punch without being overwhelming,’ she continues. ‘The chequered fabric on the bench seat offers another contrast of textile and colour. I wanted it to feel as if it had come together over time and I’ve used lots of pieces my mother had saved from my childhood home.’

In the hallway of Martin Brudnizki's 17th-century Sussex flat, a runner from ABC Carpet & Home and velvet curtains lead the eye to the front door where a collection of plaster casts by Peter Hone and from Brownrigg, along with a Michael Murfin trompe l’oeil from Henry Miller Fine Art, stand out against walls in Edward Bulmer’s ‘Invisible Green’.

Although stairs are often covered with runners, it can be incredibly pleasing to leave them bare (provided the wood is in good condition). This Grade-II listed house in Spitalfields was built by Huguenot silk weavers in 1721 and retains many original features, including the wonderfully creaky staircase that snakes up its five floors.

Hallways are transitional spaces and nobody tends to spend much time in them, so they can be places to go super bold with the decoration. This hallway in the 8 Holland Street Townhouse in Bath is saturated with colour, and is delightful to glimpse from the doorways of other rooms.

Orlando Atty began with the hall when refreshing this Robert Kime-designed house in Wiltshire. Orlando suggested that the undistinguished pine floor should be replaced by antique French oak planks, which have transformed the feel. Given the importance Robert placed on the role of a rug in a scheme, Orlando suggested they build the room around the existing one. Rosie found a Georgian parcel-gilt mirror and paired it with an unembellished side table – staying true to Robert’s maxim to mix simple objects with grander ones.

‘This hall was not especially interesting, so we decided to create a pitched ceiling,’ says Emily Todhunter of Todhunter Earle Interiors – tongue-and-groove panelling in Farrow and Ball's ‘Lamp Room Gray’ accentuates this new feature. The owners' collection of antiques, including the rug, chairs, and wall-hung clock, along with new curtains in ‘Dominica’ linen by Penny Morrison, introduce colour and texture, and make this entrance feel like a comfortable room in its own right.

‘We wanted our hall to be inviting as well as intriguing,’ explains stylist Sarah Corbett-Winder of her London house. A trio of Farrow & Ball colours – ‘Dead Salmon’ on the wall behind the door, ‘Copper Beech’ below the dado and on the door and architrave, and ‘String’ on the other walls – creates a characterful look. With its original chequerboard floor tiles, a console table from LASSCO, Brunswick House, SW8, and a faux olive tree, the scheme is evocative of an Italian atrium.

In the lower-ground-floor entrance to her friend Annabel White's house in London, designer Suzanne Sharp – formerly of The Rug Company – had the tongue-and-groove panelling (which conceals plenty of useful storage) painted in Farrow & Ball's rich ‘Rectory Red’ for a dramatic effect. The paint's shiny gloss finish also helps to maximise the limited amount of natural light by bouncing it around the room. A colourful rug completes this eye-catching scheme.

The hallway of Luke Edward Hall and Duncan Campbell's London flat is painted in Farrow & Ball's fresh 'Folly Green' colour, which brightens a potentially dark space. A colourful antique kilim from the Rug Store in Richmond sits on the floor beside a plaster ionic capital by Peter Hone. The walls are covered from floor to ceiling with framed prints, exhibition posters and maps. Luke and Duncan collect 20th century exhibition posters from the likes of Picasso, Hockney and Calder, with the yellow Matisse one in the hall being a favourite of theirs. For framing, they use Circa 48 on Brecknock Road, which is just a stone's throw from their house. 'It's incredibly reasonable and they can supply just about any frame you wish,' says Luke.

This traditional entrance hall is comfortably messy, a mix of elegance and clobber: the hatstand piled with coats and straw panamas, the diagonal chequerboard of the stone floor edged with a scatter of children's shoes. A pair of alabaster urns on scagliola columns stands guard on either side of inner doors, and there is a view across a hall into the dining room and the drawing room. The invitation has been extended even before the owner ushers you inside.
Combining classical proportions and traditional furnishings with the informal elements of family life, this house in Cornwall has proved to be the perfect acquisition for its owners.
