First impressions count, and this extends to your home. You may want to give your hallway the wow factor: after all, it's the first thing guests see when they enter your home, but they find it narrow and it feels cramped.

Think minimally about your decoration

The worst thing you can do in a narrow hallway is to put too much in it. Keep it minimalist and clutter-free. Use floating shelves if necessary to add interest, but, as a general rule, avoid placing things on either side of the wall, as this will only have negative effects on your hallway.
