While you may not spend much time in your hallway, it’s the first thing you and your guests see when they enter your home. So why not make a great first impression by giving your hallway a little love and create a warm and welcoming environment?
We have a wide variety of hallway furniture, spanning shoe storage cupboards and console tables, to hallway units and shoe benches, with styles and sizes to suit every home.
If, like so many of us, you don’t have a huge sprawling entrance, you may have resigned yourself to not doing much with such a small area. Without a lot of room for furniture and accessories, where does this leave you in terms of styling? There are plenty of tricks you can employ to give your hallway a new look and make the best use out of whatever space you may have.
Farmhouse style

If you have the room, our tall hallway stands are great for keeping shoes and coats in one stylish spot. Our St. Ives and Canterbury hallway units add farmhouse chic to your entrance ways, with the padded seats available in a choice of fabric options to coordinate with your existing decor.
These units create a drop-off point in your home that’s especially handy if you have lots of little muddy feet that you want to keep away from the rest of your house. They offer a handy nook to compartmentalise shoes and keep bags for ease of access, making them an organisation aficionado’s dream.
Colour contrast
Create a striking first impression by opting for a strong wall colour in your hallway. Teal tones contrast beautifully against our natural oak shoe storage, which is not only practical but adds warmth to the space.
If you like the idea of a neat hallway, our Greenwich shoe storage is the perfect piece for keeping things tidy. The two cupboards conceal adjustable and removable shelves that have plenty of room to keep all your footwear out of sight.
Back to nature

Introduce a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere as soon as you step over the threshold by adding plants and natural accessories to your entrance hall.
Console tables are ideal if you’re searching for a stylish piece of furniture where you can keep all your daily essentials, such as keys, post, or umbrellas, to hand. Use baskets to store hats and scarves during the winter months and add lamps to bring a warming glow to what can often be a dark space.
Make your staircase the feature
Creating a pathway to your stairs adds an immediately welcoming effect. Place an eye-catching geometric runner to add texture and warmth to your hallway floor and add a versatile console table to introduce storage in this under-used space.
Use staircases to frame stylish pieces such as our painted Shay console table. To inject personality, tap into the home design trend and make this area home to houseplants. For a fresh look that’ll make your hallway unique, dangle some plants from your bannister.
