If you have a small hallway that makes you feel limited, let me tell you - you are not alone. There is hope for you yet! By choosing the perfect paint for your small hallway, you can create a stylish, welcoming first impression – and make your space look bigger! Narrow hallways can appear wider by using a lighter colour paint. When choosing your colour scheme, consider not only the wall colour but also the colour for the trim. To ensure that the small hallway does not feel claustrophobic, choose colours for the door trim that recede, rather than stand out against the wall colours. The idea is to visually create a more spacious walkway. Soft grey and green has an unparalleled softness. Floating shelves keep a hallway neat and clutter-free, which will make it feel more spacious - it also adds personality to a plain wall.
