First impressions always count for a lot, and when you open the door to your home you’ll want to ensure that the first impression which any visitor gets is a good one.

If you have a lengthy hallway in your property, you have a fantastic opportunity to make a fantastic impression- so why not make the most of it by ensuring that your hallway decor REALLY looks the part?

Ornaments, paintings and stylish furniture can all play a huge role in ensuring that your hallway makes a good impression, although you should also pay attention to larger parts of decor such as flooring.

The way in which the floor in your hallway is covered really can make or break your decor efforts- although you can achieve the former rather than the latter by opting for hardwood flooring.

Hardwood flooring can look effortlessly beautiful and effortlessly stylish, and there are several different stunning types of wood which you can choose from.

As your hallway is likely to be subjected to a lot of foot traffic though, you need to make sure that you opt for a really hardwearing wood such as ash or oak.
