Decorating the hallway

I am actually getting excited about decorating the hallway in the apartment. It seems an odd part of the home /apartment to get excited about as its simply a way of getting from A to B but it is the front line, so to speak, of your home.  And a room i think you can have the most fun with.

To make it even better we received a painting yesterday as a way of welcoming me to the area which I am definitely hanging in the hallway. I love colourful art filled hallways with a quirky cabinet or table near the front door for the practical things like mail and keys. 

   

A variety of coat hooks is another way of jazzing up your hallway as well as holding your coats/bags/hats/scarfs……

 

Another idea is mixing old frames with modern photographs.
