White hallway: how to decorate
White is the brightest base there is — it opens rooms up, reflects daylight and lets everything else show. The secret is texture, or it turns sterile.

How white works in the hallway
In the hallway, white instantly brightens a dark, narrow entrance; a mirror amplifies the effect.
Keep in mind what's specific to this room: the first impression in a small space — here you can be bold with colour. That decides how much colour can show and where it does the most good.
Colours that pair well with white
White goes with everything, but comes alive against wood, black for contrast and one muted accent. Warm whites feel cosy, cool whites sharp.
Materials and details
Wood, linen, wool and rattan save white from feeling bare; matte surfaces are warmer than glossy.
The most common mistake
An all-white room with no texture or warmth turns clinical. Mix white tones and add natural materials.
See white in the hallway — before you paint
The hard thing about colour is that it looks completely different in different light and rooms. Instead of gambling on a tin of paint: upload a photo of the hallway and type "repaint the hallway in white". In a minute you'll see the result in your own light — and can try several shades before deciding.
