This time of year always brings more guests popping in and out and the occasional surprise visitor. Make sure your hallway is prepared for all that the season throws at it with our top tips to help you create the perfect first impression.

To help keep your hallway looking spick and span, a colourful doormat is the perfect addition. Our range of Hug Rugs are made from 100% recycled material and are all manufactured in the UK. Designed to absorb water, mud and dirt these rugs are a great way to keep your hallway looking great – especially if you have pets!. Our ‘Welcome’ Hug Rug is the perfect option to greet your guests.

Hallways are often a dumping ground for shoes and boots. We have all been guilty of kicking our shoes off the moment we get through the door. Give your shoes the home they need and a seat for you whilst you put them on and take them off with one of our Storage Seats. Designed by our team here at Myakka these storage seats make the perfect piece of furniture for your hallway and are available in a number of designs and finishes. Two of our favourites include the Hathi Storage Seat complete with hand carved elephants and the Gypsy Petite Storage Seat which is perfect for smaller spaces.

A well placed mirror in your hallway can make your space seem bigger and lighter. We have a great range of mirrors in a number of different designs and styles including styles in our classic Sheesham wood in our Hathi and Mallani ranges or something a little different like our Cream Distressed Mirror or Gold Heart Vintage Mirror.

Hallways can often become overcome by clutter so create somewhere to store everything with some of cleverly designed storage furniture. A console table is a great option for a hallway as it won’t demand too much floor space, is narrow enough not to overwhelm the space but still provides mountains of storage. Our Mallani Petite Console Table is great for all spaces and provides storage with two drawers and top surface and a large slatted shelf. The Mallani Open & Shut is a really useful piece of furniture that will fit your hallway perfectly. Designed with three roomy drawers with three open shelves, this unit provides plenty of storage options without taking up too much space.

For the finishing touches don’t forget a colourful rug can make your hallway looked smart and friendly. A runner is the perfect option in the hallway as it protects your floor form all the traffic and looks great. We have a great selection of Kilim Rugs and runners available in our classic Kilim designs such as the Bird Kilim and Ooty Kilim. We also have a great range of new Eco Braided Rugs which would be perfect for a high traffic area like the hallway. Coordinating colours and braided together to create a flat weave rug that will add a lovely splash of colour to your hallway.
