Rustic yet refined, this modern country retreat blends old and new in masterful ways, creating a fresh yet timeless experience. The structured, austere exterior gives way to an inviting interior. The palette of subdued greens, sunny yellows, and watery blues draws inspiration from nature. Whether in the upholstery or on the walls, trailing blooms lend a note of softness throughout. The dark teal kitchen receives an injection of light from a thoughtfully-appointed skylight; a dining room with vaulted ceilings and bead board walls add a rustic feel. The wall treatment continues through the main floor to the living room, highlighted by a large and inviting limestone fireplace that gives the relaxed room a note of grandeur. Turquoise subway tiles elevate the laundry room from utilitarian to charming. Flanked by large windows, the home is abound with natural vistas. Antlers, antique framed mirrors and plaid trim accentuates the high ceilings. Hand scraped wood flooring from Schotten & Hansen line the wide corridors and provide the ideal space for lounging.

St. Albert Oakmont - Full Interior Renovation

Four Elements Construction

These clients were referred to us by another happy client! They wanted to refresh the main and second levels of their early 2000 home, as well as create a more open feel to their main floor and lose some of the dated highlights like green laminate countertops, oak cabinets, flooring, and railing. A 3-way fireplace dividing the family room and dining nook was removed, and a great room concept created. Existing oak floors were sanded and refinished, the kitchen was redone with new cabinet facing, countertops, and a massive new island with additional cabinetry. A new electric fireplace was installed on the outside family room wall with a wainscoting and brick surround. Additional custom wainscoting was installed in the front entry and stairwell to the upstairs. New flooring and paint throughout, new trim, doors, and railing were also added. All three bathrooms were gutted and re-done with beautiful cabinets, counters, and tile. A custom bench with lockers and cubby storage was also created for the main floor hallway / back entry. What a transformation! A completely new and modern home inside!

The hallway provides easy access to the kitchen, the laundry area and then directly into the Master Bath. The Master Bath is separated from the rest of the space with a pocket door, which provides for privacy without taking up space like a traditional door. The hallway on the guest side of the apartment flows through to the guest bath and bedroom and includes wider doorways and pocket doors for easy bathroom access.

Hallway Design Ideas with Decorative Wall Panelling

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 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 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.
