If you’re looking for modern, bold and eclectic hallway decorating ideas, you have come to the right place! On this page you’ll find five easy-to-implement ideas, perfect for spaces large and small.
But first – why go eclectic in the hallway?
The answer to that question is very simple: the hallway is the entrance to your home. It sets the tone for the rest of the house. Its a communal space that everybody can enjoy, so why not inject a little bit of fun and personality into the area?
Let’s not forget about practicality:

The hallway is also an area with a high footfall, used by all members of the household and, of course, visitors. This communal space has to serve many purposes: a place to set down keys, a place to put away shoes, an area to meet and greet guests, and so on.
While decorating your hallway, it’s important to remember that this is a multifunctional space. Although it should look great with tonnes of personality, it’s important the area ‘works’ for your family too.
