Best of 2023: Hallways

It’s the last week of the year, so it’s time to look back at the best interiors and outdoor spaces posted on The Nordroom in the past twelve months. In the Best of 2023 series, you will find this year’s most beautiful rooms and gardens.

The hallway is the entry to your home, and while it mainly needs to be practical, it can also be very stylish. I’ve seen some beautiful hallways this year, from classic examples to small hallways with smart storage.

It’s been a joy to share all these beautiful homes with you this year. And I hope you will stick around next year to see more beautiful home tours, design news, and more. If you want to stay up to date with the latest blog post of The Nordroom, you can subscribe to the newsletter.

Make sure to check in with The Nordroom this week to take a look at all the best interiors of this year. In this post, you will find the best hallways of 2023. Enjoy!

Just as you don’t have to be afraid of bright colors, you also shouldn’t shy away from dark and moody color tones in a hallway. This dark gray hallway in a unique bohemian home in Sweden shows how great dark tones paired with bright color accents looks.

In 2023, Farrow and Ball released an all-new dead flat paint finish. This finish is the most matte finish to date, adaptable for various surfaces, including walls, woodwork, and metal.

This hallway is painted in Selvedge with the Dead Flat finish. Selvedge is one of the eleven new colors by Farrow and Ball that were added to the collection this year.

You can use a colorful curtain if you have a small hallway but still want to hide certain elements or storage space. It will add color and texture to the small space and help your hallway look tidy. This small hallway in a cozy Swedish apartment shows the beauty of a curtain.

What a way to make an entrance. The Beverly Hills home of Fredrik Eklund is decorated with seventeen shades of pink, and in the hallway/foyer, you can already see several pink shades. The high ceilings and grand staircase give you a peek of the amazing design you will find in this home.
