Choose a wall art that fits your interior design.

Since the hallway is a place with few pieces of furniture, the impression of the interior will vary greatly depending on the wall arts you hang.
Therefore, it is important to choose wall arts that match the impression of the room.

Does the interior of your hallway give a calm impression? Or is it simple? It may have a natural or classic impression.

Decorating the hallway with wall arts that are similar to the your room image will create a well-balanced space.

If the hallway walls are white or gray, wall arts of any color will look good.

What size Wall art should I hang?

If there is a wall at the end of the hallway and you hang a art on the wall at the end of the hallway, you can hang a large wall art because you can view the art from a distance.

If you hang a wall art on the side wall of the hallway, you will be looking at the art from close up as you pass through the hallway, so a medium-sized art is suitable.

You can hang a wall art in the hallway in either portrait or landscape orientation.

If you are hanging a wall art in a place where it will be viewed from close up, it may be a little difficult to see if the art is very long vertically, as you will not be able to see the entire art at a glance.

Hang an art on the wall at the end of the hallway.

The best place to hang an art in a hallway is on the wall at the end of the hallway.

In the photo above, this is where the white artwork is displayed next to the plant at the end of the hallway.

At the end of the hallway, the wall art can be seen from the entrance to the hallway, so you can view the art from a distance.

If you are going to hang several wall arts in the hallway, you should hang the largest one in this location.

When hanging a wall art, hang it on the wall at a height that is easy to see from your eye level when standing at the entrance to the hallway.

Hang arts on the hallway walls as if they were a gallery.

Another recommended method is to hang several arts side by side on the hallway wall.
If there are walls on both sides of the hallway, it is better to hang the arts together on one of the walls for easier viewing.

Decorating the hallway with several arts side by side like a gallery gives a sophisticated impression.

Leave some space between the wall arts and display them side by side to create a relaxed impression.

If several wall arts are displayed side by side, hang them on the wall according to your line of sight when you are walking down the hallway.
Hanging them in a horizontal line along this line of sight gives the viewer the impression of looking at the arts in a gallery.

How to hang a wall art in a narrow hallway?

When decorating a narrow hallway by hanging a wall art on the side of the hallway, it is important to have a point of view when looking at the art.

In a wide hallway, you can view the wall art from a distance, but in a narrow hallway, you can only view the art from close up due to the narrow aisle width.

Large wall arts are designed to be viewed from a distance, so if a large art is displayed in a narrow hallway, it will be difficult to view it from a distance.

If a wall art is to be hung in a narrow hallway, it is better to hang a medium or small sized art so that it can be viewed easily from close up.

How to decorate a wall art for a long hallway?

When decorating a long hallway, several wall arts can be hung in a art-gallery-like arrangement.

A simple space in a long hallway can be transformed into a favorite space for admiring beautiful arts.

Display the wall arts at eye level as you walk down the hallway.
If you are decorating a long hallway with multiple wall arts, leave a little space between them.

If you feel that there is too much space between wall arts when you walk down the hallway, close the distance between them a little.

If you are decorating a long hallway, you may want to consider how to illuminate the arts. If you are interested in how to select and apply lighting, please refer to the article, How to choose art lights make paintings look beautiful?

Decorate a hallway with abstract arts to create a wonderful space.

In a hallway that is a simple space with little furniture, we recommend decorating it with simple abstract arts.

If you choose to display several abstract arts side by side in a hallway, choose the one that best balances the overall space of the hallway.

It is a good idea to display a combination of wall arts, each of which has a different character from the others.
We recommend that you choose wall arts with a concept that conveys the worldview created when the arts are displayed side by side.

We hope you will create a wonderful hallway space by decorating it with wall arts.
