When it comes to interior design, homeowners all too often forget their hallways. It’s a shame – with the right flooring choice, they have the potential to be so much more than something that connects two rooms!
At E Hardwoods & Flooring, we believe that every space in your home should be a place you love spending time in, no matter how much or how little you use it, and that’s why we’re here to recommend some awesome floorings to make your hallways shine.
Your hallway doesn’t need to feel cramped and claustrophobic, even though it probably doesn’t have windows. Using light-colored flooring can do wonders in terms of opening up a space, so take advantage of this and brighten things up with gray-washed hardwoods or tawny tones. Color-wise, we recommend
Hallways certainly see a lot of foot traffic, and often in the same path day in and day out. You need a flooring that can stand up to heavy use while looking great to boot—and you’ll find just that in prefinished hardwood flooring.
No matter the species or finish, this flooring type tops the charts in terms of durability and longevity. Plus, given its classical good looks, it will make your hallway a place that you’ll want to do more in than pass through.
This doesn’t narrow your options a whole lot; everything from hardwood flooring to vinyl flooring is available in this form. You’d be wise to stick with it, though, if you’re aiming to make your hallway look roomier and more open. The repeating lines created by the planks give the illusion of space, giving you the opportunity to do more decoratively with your hallway without it feeling cramped.
Need some extra water-resistance? If your hallway opens up into a kitchen, is part of an entryway, or shares a flooring type with a neighboring bathroom, you’ll probably want to go with vinyl flooring. Aside from being tough on scrapes and scuffs, it’s entirely waterproof, meaning you don’t need to fret when somebody inevitably tracks mud past the entry mat.
These rules aren’t hard-and-fast. Every home is an individual, which is why we’ve made it our mission to stock as many flooring types as possible. Complete your interior renovation project today with the help of our massive selection.
