Elements of the Arts and Crafts movement were used throughout this small transition area leading to the master bedroom. A six-panel translucent glass door leads to a walk-in closet. The flanking bookcases prominently display objet d’art, books and photos. Elaborate detailing, found in the railing, add visual balance. Renee Macintosh inspired pickets add rhythm. The varying color scheme both define and brighten the space.

Private Residence, Falmouth, Cornwall

The Bazeley Partnership

Sitting within a designated AONB, this new Arts and Crafts-influenced residence replaced an ‘end of life’ 1960’s bungalow. Conceived to sit above an extensive private wine cellar, this highly refined house features a dramatic circular sitting room. An internal lift provides access to all floors, from the underground level to the roof-top observation terrace showcasing panoramic views overlooking the Fal Estuary. The bespoke joinery and internal finishes detailed by The Bazeley Partnership included walnut floor-boarding, skirtings, doors and wardrobes. Curved staircases are complemented by glass handrails and the bathrooms are finished with limestone, white marble and mother-of-pearl inlay. The bedrooms were completed with vanity units clad in rustic oak and marble and feature hand-painted murals on Japanese silk wallpaper. Externally, extensive use of traditional stonework, cut granite, Delabole slate, standing seam copper roofs and copper gutters and downpipes combine to create a building that acknowledges the regional context whilst maintaining its own character.

Water Street Renovation

Alair Homes Peterborough

My clients approached me with a building that had become run down over the years they were hoping to transform into a home office. The plaster walls and ceilings were cracking badly, the trim work was patchy, and there was an awkward flow to the second floor due to weird stairs in the back hallway. There were a ton of amazing elements to the building as well (that were an absolute must to maintain) like the beautiful main staircase, existing marble fireplace mantel and the double set of interior entry doors with a frosted glass design transom above. The extent of the construction on the interior included extensive demolition. Everything came down except for most of the interior walls and the second floor ceilings. We put in all brand new HVAC, electrical and plumbing. Blow-in-Blanket insulation was installed in all the perimeter walls, new drywall, trim, doors and flooring. The front existing windows were refinished. The exterior windows were replaced with vinyl windows, but the shape and sash locations were maintained in order to maintain the architectural integrity of the original windows. Exterior work included a new front porch. The side porch was refaced to match the front and both porches received new stamped concrete steps and platform. A new stamped concrete walkway from the street was put in as well. The building had a few doors that weren't being used anymore at the side and back. They were covered up with new Cape Cod siding to match the exterior window color.

Arts and Crafts Hallway Design Ideas with Dark Hardwood Floors

See your hallway as more than just a corridor to another room. This undervalued area is prime for storage, the display of collectibles, and even more practical uses like a drop zone for boots and umbrellas, or a small library. Whether you have a narrow hallway, a spacious hallway, or an awkward one with a sharp turn, browse the photos on Houzz for clever design ideas, and find your way to an all-new arts and crafts hallway.

How do I add storage to my hallway?

If you have a small home, utilising the hallway as extra storage is a great way to save much-needed space. To avoid narrowing an already small space, don't incorporate full-sized furniture – a hall table, for example, will only make the space feel cramped. Instead, add built-in bookcases, wall-mounted shoe racks, an umbrella stand, or hooks. A simple floating console and shelves are ideal for keeping floor space free of obstacles, too. For more small hallway ideas, browse the Stories section of Houzz. If you have a wide and spacious hallway, turn the space into a multi-purpose room. Add floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and a hallway runner for the cosy allure of a library; or add seating and line the walls with curated art for a spot in which to relax. This will ensure your arts and crafts hallway isn’t just a beautiful space, but a destination, too.

How do I get my hallway decor right?

An entrance hall should set the tone for the rest of the house, so use it to display an item that you love, then build on your home’s decor from there. A vintage chair for putting shoes on; a slim hall table with plenty of drawers for hiding unwanted clutter; or a stand-out mirror might be just the ticket. Because your hallway is such a small space, you shouldn't go overboard with decor, either. If you want to display a photo collection, group frames in odd numbers (three or five pieces) and vary the heights to add interest. If you like the gallery look but have a dark hallway, consider framed mirrors, which will bring additional light and visual space into the area. Use shadow boxes and art shelves to display quirky, small accessories, but try to rotate them out occasionally to keep it fresh and interesting. Wall space is key, but don't forget about your ceilings and floors as well. Ceiling lights, chandeliers or wall sconces can act as additional decor, while adding a hallway runner is a quick and easy way to add colour and pattern to a traditionally all-neutral space. Also remember, the most successful hallway designs will always draw the eye to a focal point – ideally at the far end of the room, so as to create the illusion of more space.
