Many times hallways are overlooked as spaces to design. I love to make a hallway feel like a room vs an area you pass through to get from the bathroom to the bedroom. I most often design hallways to be photo or art galleries. If there is a nook, then I might place a dresser, cabinet or console, as seen here.
The size of your hallway helps to dictate what you can do with your space. A photo gallery, an art gallery, a sitting area, a bookcase with a chair for a mini-library? Does your hallway get you from point A to point B or have you created a designed space?

We've got a long console table in the hallway outside our guest room with a lamp and some books, etc. Love hallways big enough for a chair or two...
GM, My hallway is 30ft long and it is only 3ft wide, Not much room to do anything in it. I do want to add some architecture with molding but that is has not been done. Love the chest and the vignette on top in the image, looks wonderful,Kathysue
Love to decorate a hallway too! Our upstairs hall (center hall colonial) has a gallery of black and white family photos and a bench. The idea of a dresser didn't occur to me, but wish it had b/c of the extra storage!
I don't have a hall way, just a square about 3X3! No room for nuttin'! I love the zebra chest, wish I could use something like that in my little cubicle!

Zebra Chest i love that ,my hallway is way to small for such a fab' find
I so wish I had a hallway. My apartment just kinda spills into my dining room so I don't have room. I definitely dream of them though and I'm loving this zebra chest. It's perfect!
Kathysue,
Your hallway is 30' long? Wow! Why not do a photo gallery on the walls? It'd be stunning!
oooh, that looks great! the mirror is the perfect size.
Ah if only I had a nice big hallway to decorate, my house is tiny. Yours looks great though, I really like what you did.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead.

I wish my hallway had more space...but it does have a lot of pictures!
Would love to try and art gallery on my long hallway. Arranging something asymmetrically scares me a little, though!
a great thought. the hallway is such an important place. i love that zebra dresser. way to punch it up!
