Neutral hallways are often seen as minimal and easy on the eye. By adding Scandinavian inspired decor and colour schemes you can create a clean and simple hallway look without compromising on style. This elegant hallway idea uses warm colours to bring in coziness by layering blues, browns and blacks for a warm look that still feels neutral and harmonious for an entrance to your home.
When thinking about adding Scandinavian decor to your hallway, picture clean and rounded lines, simple furnishings and compact decor that you can dress up the space with.
Use clever storage for a fresh looking hallway
Keeping your hallway tidy will add a sophisticated feel to your space, this can be done by using built-in storage to hide away coats, bags and shoes so that your space is clutter free. We love this neutral white hallway idea that has done just that, with a clever storage and seating area the space feels modern and sleek.
Furthermore, choosing a soothing colour scheme will also help to bring a sophisticated look together. Consider layering white and creams in your hallway for a neutral and snug look that can easily be adapted throughout the seasons.
Decorate a long hallway with neutrals and eclectic decor to bring in characteristics
If you love lots of texture but still want to keep a neutral look to your hallway, why not consider using green as your base colour. You can then layer your space with decor such as printed rugs, mirrors, side tables and accessories to bring your look together.
Complete your neutral hallway with a stair runner
Create a show stopping entranceway with a stair runner to create a simple yet sophisticated look for your stairs. Always choose colours and patterns for your stair runner that will complement the rest of your space, just like this cozy grey hallway that uses different tones of grey in the runner to match the contrasting walls.
Warm up a grey hallway with rich hues
Grey is one of the best neutral colours to adorn your home with, as it’s a good balance between black and white and can easily be adapted with other colours. While it’s a good base colour for a neutral hallway, grey can sometimes look and feel cold, however, incorporating warm decor can transform the space instantly.
Use wood to make your hallway feel light and homely
White hallways can run the risk of looking too bright and clinical. To help tone down a light hallway, incorporate some darker neutrals to the space such as wooden flooring and dark decor so that you create a contrast against white walls for a warmer feel to your hallway.
Layer brown colours for a neutral and soft hallway aesthetic
Earthy colours like brown are great for hallways because it’s a natural shade, and works especially well when layered up through different textures. When thinking about styling a neutral hallway, consider using a soft brown like taupe for your walls and natural wood furnishings to complete the look. You can always include dark decor accents too, which will give a bold look to the room as well.
