I received hardware from D. Lawless Hardware in return for writing this post. However, any opinions expressed are still my own and I promise I would only recommend products that I love and use myself!
We lived in our house almost a year before even touching the upstairs hallway. Since we didn’t have kiddos and the only people in that hallway were the occasional Airbnb guest, we just weren’t all that worried about it. But once we started working on our little boy’s nursery , we got inspired to update this space!
Like most of our house, it was painted a yellowy-tan with orange-toned wood trim (we had already painted the trim in this picture, but you can see what it looks like in the before pictures of our son’s nursery). There’s one big window opposite the hallway, but otherwise it gets almost no natural light and felt very dark and closed off.
A couple hours of work, some coats of paint, and a few pretty frames later, it looks so much better! If you’re looking to update your hallway, I recommend you try these five things that we did. They made all the difference and our hallway is now a space I love walking through!
