Hallways are one of the most frequently used areas of any home, but they are also one of the last areas to be considered when it comes to decorating. Though main spaces such as living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, and entryways command the majority of attention, neglecting the smaller spaces of your home can affect your home’s design. Hallways have a surprising amount of influence over the flow of your home. Transforming a drab hallway into a visually interesting one with a simple color change can make a big difference in the look and feel of your home! Before you begin your interior painting project, take into consideration what you hope to achieve with your space and what assistance hallway painters in Portsmouth / Newburyport can provide.
The Difficulties of Hallway Painting
Hallways can be a difficult area of the home to paint due to their form and function. They are transitional spaces, which means they should serve to create a visual flow from room to room. They are also more narrow than the average room, creating tricky spots to reach while painting. When planning your hallway painting project, multiple different factors must be taken into account, ranging from its size and function to its visual relationship to other rooms.
What to Consider
Painting is often considered to be a simple home DIY project, but it’s more complex than just choosing a color and putting it on the wall. Here are a few special considerations you should make when contemplating a hallways makeover.
For any advice or recommendations, Painter1 of New England are the hallways painters in Portsmouth / Newburyport that can help!
Hallways that lack windows or doors have limited natural light to help brighten the space. While the solution may seem to lie in colors such as bright whites or creams, this can be an overcompensation. When natural light is absent, cool light shades tend to appear dark and lifeless. Instead, try warm-toned neutrals such as powder blue, blush, earthy green, or light gray. These hues will bring the illusion of light to the space without appearing muddy or muted in artificial light.
Consider the mood you want your hallway to have. Ask yourself how you want to explore the hallway’s personality through color choice. In a space as small as this, the paint you choose is very important to dictate the style and atmosphere it conveys. You may use neutrals and softer tones to create a space that seamlessly blends into the tone of adjacent spaces or you can make a statement between your main rooms with bright, bold shades.
Hallways are narrow yet highly trafficked areas. To avoid a dark, tunnel-like hallway, choose colors that open the space up. Lighter and brighter neutrals will make the space feel less cramped. Don’t be afraid to include colors here, though. Airy versions of green, blue, blush, and cream will bring a sense of personality to the room while still helping to trick the eye into perceiving a larger space.
Keeping a uniform color palette in small spaces can create a seamless visual effect while avoiding overstimulation. In hallways that exist solely to transition from room to room, painting the walls, ceiling, and floor the same or a similar shade will help the eye to flow naturally around the space.
As mentioned above, hallways are transitional spaces. They bridge the gap between two rooms, and ideally, they should serve as a natural way to draw the eye from one space to the next. Try to fashion your color palette with this purpose in mind, drawing color inspiration from adjacent rooms to connect or draw attention to the separation. This does not necessarily mean choosing the same color, though. Play around with shades that complement and enhance each other to create a visual flow.
The type of paint used in your project is just as important as the hue. Paint in high traffic areas such as hallways can also be easily scuffled and damaged with everyday use. Hallway painters in Portsmouth / Newburyport can attest to the importance of choosing a highly-durable, washable paint to keep your hallway looking as clean and maintained as the rest of your home.

Painter 1 of New England recently finished a complete repainting of our 1895 Victorian home. The team was professional, highly skilled and worked in tandem with us on every decision. As you can imagine, a Victorian requires impeccable attention to detail to determine which colors should be used on the various architectural details. We were very impressed by the the level of open communication from all team members. It was a satisfying and rewarding experience with a beautiful outcome.— Adam Wagner

The team from Painter1 did a terrific job on our house - they paid close attention to detail, replaced old siding, matched the paint colors, and worked quickly but accurately. Everyone was great to work with. I would recommend them to anyone.— Chris Dahlen

I am the Recreation Director for the Town of Brentwood NH and we hired Painter1 after months of review a high number of other vendors and ultimately decided on them not just because of price, but they were very personable and professional. In the word of recreation jobs must completed in a timely manner due to ongoing programs and events and we only had to put our programs on hold for a small time and were back to business after a week. Any businesses or residents looking for professional work at reasonable rates with a crew that is happy to work I would highly recommend Painter1— Andrew Gray

If you are lucky enough to get on their schedule, do so. This team is more than a group of painters. They did extensive wall and ceiling repair in our 50 year-old home before painting. The quality of the repair work was stellar, rendering the final painting extraordinary. They repaired and repainted gaffes we did not think could be made to appear seamless. On top of that, you could not find a nicer group of people. We recommend Painter1 of Portsmouth without reservation, and in fact, with great enthusiasm!— CH-W

I first met with Paul Lanzoni. He is a true professional and was honest in quoting our interior paint project. Scheduling the project was a breeze and they were able to work with our work schedule as well. Prior to starting the job, I met with Bill to go over project specifics. He was exceptional, from start to finish. His knowledge in design helped us select the right materials for our project. He checked-in and followed-up with us each step of the way. Paul, Bill, and their crew truly take pride in their work. I HIGHLY recommend using Painter1 for your next project. It is without a doubt they will be our go-to company for future work. EXCEPTIONAL!— Paul Rapazzo

Very pleased with this company. The quote was very reasonable for the work done and the painters did a fantastic job. They worked hard and got my entire foyer and 17 foot high ceiling done in one day. The owner, project manager and painters were all very professional and quick to respond to any questions. I will be using them for any future painting needs.— Leigh Perl

The job: Remove and repair bathroom popcorn ceiling and paint Although the project that day seemed like a never-ending waiting game for the “mud" to dry as a repair to the ceiling popcorn removal and smoothing process, the bathroom wall paint is smooth and beautiful; the once ugly, peeling popcorn and duct-taped ceiling is painted and looks fantastic! Such a big difference and I love it. Thanks to the team's positive and upbeat attitude, despite the frustration we all felt waiting and watching paint NOT dry, while the next stage for sanding/painting was delayed, I was assured he would do an excellent job. AND he did!— Carol Chernack
