Hallway Designs for small houses balance more than just aesthetic and function. The focus is on the very first impression. Create the all-important signature welcome for friends, family and visitors, today.

Here are 5 hallway designs for small houses in this week’s blog from Blind Technique. We have ways to wow which can work for you and your home.

Modern & Contemporary – simplicity in your key pieces

• A slimline console table/phone table or shoe rack with seat
• A corner stool for putting on or taking off shoes
• Clean lines and a trio of colours to create accents – try white, slate and blue
• A feature wall to enhance the impact of your hall window with Plantation Shutters. They free up wall space as they sit within their own frame
• Don’t forget your floors –wooden floors can really add warmth, complimented by an understated runner
• A strategically placed mirror or three (large, medium and small) creates the illusion of space and reflects more light

Traditional Farmhouse/Country Kitchen – a busy family home’s cosy welcome

• Consider fabric blinds such Roman Blinds as your design statement
• Prioritise double duty on all your storage items so think multi-functional as well as cosy for coat racks and welly boot stands
• A handy shelf above a set of hooks is an easy win to maximise every inch of space
• Soften the space with a comfy chair and cushions to create a cute ‘book nook’
• Try an art gallery or family portraits for welcome storytelling of your home
• Use the space under the stairs – transform the storage potential here into individual drawers for wet-weather gear for all the family

Holiday Home from Home – destination memories are right here

• Think of the colours which remind you of a great holiday so try a graduated intensity in this room. Vertical Blinds are a versatile yet subtle choice of window dressing to add to the design statement
• A feature wall can transform into a signature art piece evoking the country you visited. Try a set of small postcards
• Holidays are all about organisation so try a set of small, traditional suitcases to add to the theme
• Arrange your signature souvenirs in pride of place to make you smile with a shelf just for this purpose over your front door
• Lighting is a powerful way to transform hallway designs for small houses – shine an unobtrusive wall spotlight or two on your holiday photo gallery. Tape a section of the wall to create a chalkboard (with chalkboard paint) for shopping lists and holiday wish-lists!
• Don’t forget the music – add a radio to the shelf to play your holiday favourites

Horticulture Heaven – a true gardener’s welcome

• Hallway designs for small houses often incorporate the living world as it is a room of transition from the outside to the inside. Decorate your room with floating corner shelving for floral bouquets or scented plant pots. Try jasmine, honeysuckle, lavender, roses
• Hallways can be the scene of much rush so try a calming colour scheme with a set of greens, slates, stone with wood and other natural textures like wool and linen
• Add to the natural design with patterned Roller Blinds
• Keep your stairs in natural wood with an accent colour in the addition of a stair runner
• Wall panelling (halfway) and painted in a calming colour add to the illusion of space
• Create a mini-office area to act as your home HQ

Retro/Vintage – for design rebels just behind the door

• Choose key pieces which are striking design statements (think angular and round) and all sorts of sizes
• Venetian Blinds can add to the retro/vintage feel in hallway designs for small houses
• Try a hanging light – maybe even a small chandelier as your statement piece
• For storage create a bespoke bookcase, choose a sleek narrow sideboard or truly go back in time with a telephone table
• In this design pick one pattern with purpose
• For seating incorporate an antique bench
