Here are some great hallway ideas from Dwell.
Put your corridors to work as storage, seating, or gallery space with these ideas.
Hallways don’t just have to be connective space they can serve a multitude of functions despite the challenges that their long, narrow proportions present. Below, find a practical guide to making hallways that aren’t just for passing through.
1. Install Shelving
2. Hang Artwork
3. Add Seating
4. Turn it Into a Library
You may think that a library has to be its own room, but books can be stored and read just about anywhere. Lining a hallway with books turns it into a library that you’ll walk through, and be inspired by, every day. Cabinets below provide extra storage and even a place to sit and read.
Creating a library along a staircase out of open shelving means that the books can be accessed from both the staircase and the stair hall on the other side.
5. Install Hooks
6. Create a Drop-Off Station
