Do you want to make your long narrow entryway or hallway appear bigger? These narrow entryway ideas will help your entryway make a strong first impression.
Oversized Mirrors
A big reflective surface will add brightness and the illusion of extra space in narrow entryways.
Gorgeous Rugs
Rugs can make or break a space. Rug or runer can bring in color and some much-needed texture in narrow hallways.
Neutral Colors
Choose your wall colors carefully. Go for a lighter neutral color that will open up space. Whites, creams and extremely light pastels will create a bigger illusion.
Stay away from warmer tones and darker shades because it will only make the hallway or entryway look smaller.
Playing with Color
Hallways and entryways are the perfect spots for adding more color to your home.
Entryway with Wall Art
You can make a huge difference in the way space feel by adding wall decorations.
Whether go with a gallery wall, a large statement piece, or a mirror with character, they can add color, style, and personality when decorating the hallway.
Lighting
Many narrow hallways feel dark because they lack natural light. The addition of accent lighting to different focal points visually widens a hallway, and can also add warmth.
Pendant lights along the length of the hallway add visual interest and brighten the hallway.

Hey Paulina, these are really amazing designs and adding this to your home will be of great value.
Hi Paulina! I love the first image in your narrow entryways post – there’s a large oval mirror and a minimal wood shelf with long wood brackets supporting it. The shelf holds a few bronze canisters and a bronze vase. Can you tell me where I might be able to find that shelf?
Thanks!
Anne
