Hallways Worth Coming Home To
At Good Rooms, we believe your hallway should make you smile before you’ve even taken your coat off.
It’s the first hello when you walk in, the quiet welcome after a long day, and the space that sets the tone for your whole home. So why are so many hallways treated like afterthoughts? (A sad doormat and a tangle of shoes do not a vibe make.)
Our Philosophy? The Hallway is Your Home’s Handshake.
It should tell your story. Your roots, your people, your travels, your taste. A good hallway has soul.
We always say: start with feeling. Do you want warm and nostalgic? Clean and joyful? Bold and unexpected? Whatever it is — own it.
How to Create a Hallway That Feels Like You
1. Show Your Roots
That might be a black-and-white wedding photo, your nan’s mirror, or a vintage print from your hometown. These small touches ground the space and tell a story.
2. Celebrate Your People
Line the wall with family photos, or better yet — mix them with kids' artwork, postcards from mates, and that slightly chaotic holiday snap you love anyway. It doesn’t have to be perfect. It has to be you.
3. Art That Sparks Joy
Hallways are the perfect gallery walls. Eclectic, emotional, evolving. Mix old with new, flea market with fine art. Just keep it full of feeling.
4. Add a Dash of Colour
A painted door. A jewel-toned runner. A vibrant umbrella stand. Whatever your style — bring in something unexpected. Colour lifts the mood and the space.
5. Lighting, darling
Wall sconces, table lamps, a fabulous pendant light — never underestimate the power of lighting to warm things up.
Because Coming Home Should Feel Like a Hug
Your hallway isn’t just a pass-through. It’s a place of arrival, memory, and welcome. It should say: this is who we are.

#HallwayGoals #EntrywayStyle #HomeWithSoul #ColourfulHome #InteriorStorytelling #GalleryWallInspo #DesignWithHeart #GoodRoomsGoodVibest all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
