'One tip for decorating hallways which I find especially useful is to use a plain textured wallpaper on three walls and then a patterned design on the fourth wall. In decorating this way the patterned feature wall draws people into your home, like this hallway with Coloroll Star Texture and Feather in grey.' - Christine Westcott, Inspired Wallpaper

'Large scale striped designs in strong colours are perfect for those wanting to make a bold statement and can also make lofty hallways feel smaller and cosier. Chromatic Stripe, with its pop of electric blue running through the paper, can be used to striking effect when combined with dramatically dark railings on the woodwork.

'As a rule, stronger, warmer colours will make the hallway seem shorter so can work well if you have a tunnel-like space, as well as making adjoining rooms seem brighter and bigger. Even just painting the back wall a tone or two darker than the ground or pattern of a wallpaper can make a difference. Try painting the end wall of a Chromatic Stripe hallway in Worsted to add real glamour and presence to the space.' - Charlotte Cosby, head of creative, Farrow & Ball

'Smaller scale designs can be a great choice if you want to open up a space. Broad Stripe with its muted colours and wide stripes will make a hallway feel light and open.

'Lighter, cooler colours will make a hallway seem longer. Try using a fresh and soft hue like Light Blue or Blackened on the end wall of a hallway papered in Broad Stripe to help create the illusion of space.' - Charlotte Cosby, head of creative, Farrow & Ball

'Why not try giving traditional striped designs a contemporary twist by hanging the paper horizontally. Closet Stripe works particularly well for this modern look. Farrow & Ball wallpapers are created using our paints, making it easy to combine paint and paper to create a seamless look from the hallway to other rooms within the home.

'You could choose to pick out the ground or pattern colour from your striped wallpaper and use that colour on woodwork or other walls, or choose fabric and furnishings inspired by the paper. For a directional, monochromatic look, combine Plain Stripe with Shadow White on the woodwork and add metallic accessories.'- Charlotte Cosby, head of creative, Farrow & Ball

'Light is a key consideration when it comes to choosing a wallpaper design; if your natural light source is limited, steer clear of darker shades and instead pick patterns with plenty of white space. Our Rinjani wall art is a great option.

'Alternatively, mirrors are a fantastic way to help brighten a space, and if placed correctly will have a huge impact; not only helping the space to appear larger but better lit too.' - Voyage Decoration

'The direction of any repeated design or pattern (horizontally or vertically) should also be taken into account and can be used to create an illusion of space. An upwards pointing design such as our Samui Wall Art will work perfectly for those with lower ceilings, for example.' - Voyage Decoration

'As the entryway to the rest of your home, the hallway is the perfect place to make a statement. From punchy bold patterns to calming neutral tones, there's a whole host of interior ideas that will help create a lasting impression.

'Wallpaper and paint combinations have been revived to create a unique take on the country chic interior style. Channel a stripped back look by pairing painted panelling with wallpaper – this helps open up hallways with enclosed staircases. Try using wallpaper designs with bold motifs (like Monstera) to make your space feel larger and add in contrasting colour pops to keep things visually interesting.' - Photowall

'Hallways are also the perfect place to make experimental marks on your home, but it's often an area we don't really spend much time thinking how to decorate. Wallpaper designs with wild motifs (like Tropic Bouquet) are perfect to inject more personality to uninspired corridors. For a quick fix, pull out accent colours from your wallpaper and reflect the tones in your accessories.' - Photowall

'Hallways can be an awkward spot in the home to style, with lack of space being a common factor contributing to difficulties in decorating. It is possible, however, to decorate this area in an impactful way so that you can be welcomed into the home with high design and style instead of plain, drab walls.

'By choosing a bold geometric print paired with serene hues like rose quartz and serenity, you can instantly modernise your hallway, whilst keeping the area light and airy.' - Murals Wallpaper

'Lighter, less busy walls can evoke a sense of space. Customising your hallway walls with something impressive and bold can work alongside the smaller size and inject an immediate dose of style as soon as you or your guests walk through the door. A moody, misty forest mural can elicit a feeling of space in itself, whilst greeting you with that much loved Scandi style.' - Murals Wallpaper

'Use smaller space to your advantage; you aren't covering a vast area like you would in another room, so you can afford to be brave and go for a print that would perhaps be bolder than you'd choose for the living room or bedroom. A realistic brick wallpaper can do wonders, creating that rough-luxe look that can give your hallway an immediate update with no fuss at all.' - Murals Wallpaper
