Decorating a long hallway?!
Comments (13)I do mean Persian, which is why I said, "If you can afford it". I think if you're going for that look, you have to be careful because rugs trying to look like Persians are not good and look cheap. I'm a bit biased here, because I grew up in an area of brownstones where everyone has the long hallways and the high ceilings and had Persians on their floors (including my own house) and they last forever and are so gorgeous. But they are definitely an investment, no doubt about it. If, after 20 years, there is some wear or fading with a Persian, all you do is get out the Magic Markers and color them in. Believe me, I am not at all wealthy, but Persian rugs are one of the few things I believe are worth the money - them, a good sofa, and good mattresses. Other than that, it's CL for furniture and decor (or Christmas Tree Shops, or HomeGoods). I agree that your hall would do well with probably three separate runners, and again, with Persians, they don't have to match and in fact would look great with three different designs. To me, there are a couple things that always work, no matter what: Persian rugs, and reclaimed wood furniture....See MoreLighting for a long narrow hallway-pics
Comments (12)thanks everyone- my daughter painted those family portraits 10 years ago. She hates them now (teenagers!!!) but I refuse to take them down! The hallway is @20ft x 3 1/2 ft. There are 3 lights there now spaced evenly apart. We are going to get the electrician out here, but not right now. We usually wait until we have a few things that need to get done because his fee to just come out is pretty high. Electric is the only DIY my hubby wont do :( I would have never even considered track lighting- those have come along way huh- very pretty! I'm not familiar with the flicker lights, but will check them as too. Thanks...See Morelong hallway decor ideas needed
Comments (5)I would just get some very large, over sized art in a modern style. If you're trying to get some function out that space, you could get a skinny console table. I obviously don't know what that is a hallway to (or from), but I like to put bookcases in hallways. People always say there isn't room, but there is. I like it when there are items in a long hallway that make you "meander" through it, it helps to break it up if there are actually things that you have to weave your way through. You can always put a bench in a hallway as well....See MoreLong hallway decor
