Your contemporary hallway, hall or landing is more than just a corridor to another room. It’s the perfect place to squeeze in extra storage, display your art collection, and can even be transformed into a quiet spot for reading. Whether you have a narrow hallway, curved hallway or one with a sharp turn, there are plenty of opportunities for design and decor. Read on to find out more.

How do I add storage to my hallway?

If you have a small contemporary home, utilising the hallway as extra storage is a great way to save much-needed space. To avoid narrowing an already small space, don't incorporate full-sized furniture – a hall table, for example, will only make the space feel cramped. Instead, add built-in bookcases, wall-mounted shoe racks, an umbrella stand, or hooks. A simple floating console and shelves are ideal for keeping floor space free of obstacles, too.

If you have a wide and spacious hallway, turn the space into a multi-purpose room. Add floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and a hallway runner for the cosy allure of a library; or add seating and line the walls with curated art for a spot in which to relax. This will ensure your hall isn’t just a beautiful space, but a destination, too.
