Don't waste that space!

A frequently neglected area of a home is the hallway. A typical hallway or staircase can encompass a good portion of a home’s livable space and often aren’t used to their full potential. Hallways or corridors don’t have to be devoid of emotion; a simple, practical approach can add an extra personal touch.

 A bolder approach, should the above example bore you, is to create a more eclectic look by using
mixed and matched frames. The matching lamp and walls create a more put together feel, while the
dominating horizontal white and black lines maintain some structure.



Choosing an eye catching color to apply to the walls brings a unique feeling to the space. A bold color
requires minimal additions, which help this bright chartreuse be the center of attention.
 If you have the option I love the idea of being a little more creative and making a lasting impression.
You can create a huge effect with either paint or by applying a custom or ready made piece of vinyl.
LTLprints.com has a huge selection to choose from and you can even create your own. Whether you
choose paint or a print, both are easy to change if you get bored.
 
 
 
 A more traditional approach is to apply photography. I like the idea, however I like to apply a personal touch that makes the space pop. The example above uses identical frames, with a simple white matte, centered at eye level. The clean lines and organized appearance allows a larger number of pictures to be displayed 
without being overwhelming.
