LONG ENTRYWAY HALLWAY

William Gilbert

I’m really struggling with how I should fill these walls. It’s a bit overwhelming, actually.

My first thought was to hang two large canvases on the left, and a gallery wall across from it, past the garage door. The last two images are renderings that reflect what I’ve come up with so far but it still feels incomplete. How would you style this space?

To clarify: the gallery wall will be for personal family photos

Paint the door black, frames black, more interesting runner...narrow shelving...love the bench under the one piece of art.

I dont have any advice but what you designed looked very nice. I have a long hallway that I have done nothing with for 2 years. Maybe steal some of your ideas.

Not every wall has to be filled with stuff.

That said, an interesting wallpaper would add some excitement to this space.
