Christmas hallway decorating ideas & festive inspiration
Decorating a traditional hallway for Christmas
If your hallway is spacious with elegant high ceilings, consider using a mix of bold, decorative elements. This is a wonderful way to enchant guests as soon as they walk in the door and make a real impact in the space.
In their large, traditional hallway, @thesmelthaus pair classic dark wood panelling with a statement wallpaper, opting for our Victorian St James’s Park wallpaper design in the Cherry Fade colourway. Natural greenery with festive berries, ribbons and pine cones complements this classic damask pattern beautifully.

Choosing festive hallway decorations that match your interior design style
@upstyleyourhome uses the moody hue, Livid, on woodwork alongside Slaked Lime – Mid walls in our upcycled Re:mix finish. Her eclectic decorations include a vibrant wreath and Christmas garlands featuring stars, baubles, peacock feathers and other statement accessories. The focal point is a striking Christmas tree adorned with colourful ornaments.
Adding festive feel to a maximalist hallway
Greenery is a fabulous way to maximise the space. It creates a sense of connection with the outdoors for a fresh and uplifting feel.
@artdecojewel uses a palette of bold blues and elegant wallpaper in this spectacular hallway scheme. Her scheme features our 1920s Brooke House – Parchment wallpaper. Alongside this pattern, she uses Etruria in the Traditional Oil Gloss finish and Silent White – Mid on the ceiling.
She adds beautiful festive touches with a simple wreath and ivy garland. A seasonal poinsettia is the perfect pairing for her bold red doorway.
Incorporating festive touches in a contemporary hallway
Lamp Black is a soft, off-black with inherent warmth, the perfect choice for an impactful staircase. @house.48 adds a subtle seasonal element with simple greenery to decorate their stairs for Christmas. The addition of ambient Christmas lights creates an inviting atmosphere.
