The hallway is the first impression you get when entering a home and it deserves to make a statement. Don’t overlook this space – create impact with a stylish stair runner or by laying a bold patterned or durable hard floor. These simple additions can instantly elevate the entryway and set the tone for the rest of your property.
Meanwhile, creating a radiator shelf can be a quick and easy job for a carpenter – or do it yourself if you are proficient at DIY. It’s a good way to make a console table in a narrow hallway.
Channel panels
Wall panelling has long been a staple in home design, adding elegance and texture to walls. While only a few styles have truly stood the test of time, wall panelling remains very much on trend today. In addition it offers the added bonus of being able to run wires up the back of the panels making it easy to incorporate extra wall lights for a more dynamic lighting scheme.
Paper plus points
Wallpaper remains a simple yet effective way to add impact to a room. By choosing high-quality wallpaper and using it in smaller areas – like a chimney breast or the backs of shelves – you can create a striking focal point.
Shades more daring
Let’s talk colours. Deep blues, bold greens, and warm yellows are some of our top choices for crafting spaces that feel rich and engaging. These vibrant hues bring drama and personality to any room, making them far from ordinary.
Soft yet striking, ‘dusty pink’ adds a soothing warmth to a room, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and subtle elegance. Also green and yellow works (and not just for Norwich City supporters). These are fresh, invigorating shades and a timeless option.
When selecting colours for small spaces, think about both the purpose of the room and the mood you want to set. In high-traffic areas, light, soft tones can help foster a sense of calm. For a more intimate, cocoon-like atmosphere, deep, warm hues are the way to go.
Bold updates
One of the easiest ways to make a bold statement with minimal effort is by updating a piece of furniture or a set of bookshelves with a splash of bright, eye-catching colour. Whether it’s a vibrant coat of paint or a rich, dramatic fabric, these small changes can completely transform the look of a room. Adding a beautifully upholstered chair, or incorporating an unexpected pattern on a sofa, can instantly elevate the space, bringing in personality and flair without overwhelming the rest of the design. It’s an effortless way to create impact and inject character into your home.
