Small Space Solutions: Using Corridor Rugs to Make Your Hallway Appear Larger

Appearances are deceptive. It is something that can be said about the normal world but in the realm of decor, appearance is everything. The basic definition of decor is to make a place look better than it is. The right decor accessories, theme, and style elevate the space and make it look appealing. We already know that a carpet is a crucial decor accessory for adding life to any space. Interior designers or decor enthusiasts often use carpets as a base for all other elements or as the finishing touch to their projects. A fine carpet brings the space together. 

A carpet can make a space appealing, but we know that the right size carpet in the right space can make the space look bigger or smaller. Usually, the hack of adding a carpet to small spaces is used to make them look bigger/spacious.  While it is quite common in rooms or studio apartments, this hack can make your hallways look bigger. In the urban world, inflation has made it difficult to afford a home with enough space. While homes today have big rooms, the hallways/corridors connecting these rooms are too small. This not only gives away the visual structure but also makes the house look congested. The hallways are often ignored when it comes to decor. Adding a rug here or styling this space in the right way will not only make it look bigger but will help you with a smoother transition from one zone of the house to another. 

A classic runner goes best here. As per the space available, you can get a runner carpet for this space. Typically 2.5-3 feet wide, this category of rug comes in various lengths. Adding an oversized runner in terms of length is also an idea. At the end you can keep the extra portion rolled up, giving you that “unfolding” of the ‘red carpet’ feel in your homes.

The Femar rug from our collection is a classic runner rug. With a slightly traditional rug, the contemporary color of the rug makes it a transitional piece. The color palette not only makes it versatile but allows you to match the surrounding walls with frames and other decor accessories. 

Depending on the floor, you can go for a plain or a patterned rug. A simple marble finish hallway would look spacious and elegant with a patterned rug. It will add texture to the space and make it look lively. For a hallway with patterned flooring, something that balances the area is a better choice. Too much of elements can make the space look even smaller, thus, a classic with minimal/self/no design would do the deed.

In our collection, we have carpets of every category. From runners to round rugs, we have something for everyone in every design.

Vihana is a hand-knotted woolen rug from our collection. Elegant, and simple yet patterned, the rug comes with a geometric design in light shades, making it versatile for all kinds of floorings. The light hue makes the space look bigger and the pattern lends the atmosphere a unique charm. 

Shape rugs can also do the deed. From far away, a hallway might look small, but adding a shaped rug in this space will make the viewer believe that in reality, appearances are deceptive. A shaped rug is like a filler, the viewer will immediately realize that if an entire rug can fit within a hallway, it is bigger than it seems. 

Hallways are like transitions. They are the pathways from one room to another. Decorating these spaces with rugs won’t just add some charm to your home but will make it look spacious. For more information, you can visit our e-commerce website https://www.obeetee.in/ or any of our stores Pan India.
