Decorating that forgotten space....Hallways!
We are often so consumed with decorating the larger areas such as living rooms, bedrooms and kitchens that oftentimes we overlook other areas. Hallways are one such area. With just a little effort they can become so much more then a path from A to B. They can quickly become a beautiful continuation of the feel and mood we have created all around our home.
Here's a few of the additions I completed in my dark and dingy basement hallway....
A mirror/ console table is a welcome addition at the bottom of the stairway. The mirror makes the space feel larger instead of feeling like a dead end. It also brightens the space by reflecting light. The table is the perfect space to display pretty flowers and decorative items....
These wall words I found at Winners for just $8 add the perfect finishing touch to the wall...

| After- can you see the difference? |

| Before- so dull and depressing... |
An old demilune table gets a new look with a quick coat of black spray paint which ties it in with the frames above.... A lamp is added to brighten things up and add a warm feeling.
A simple wall grouping is created using inexpensive black frames ($15 for 2 from Costco) with white matting. A few favourite family photos printed in black and white create a gallery feel....

Do you decorate your hallways or leave them bare? Ant tips you'd like to share? (I'm a poet and didn't know it :) lol! )
Love to hear your thoughts!
