Hallways and entryways are the most overlooked spaces in a home, yet they're the first thing visitors see and the last thing you pass on the way out. The right wall art for hallway entrance areas turns a passageway into a moment — a pause before the rest of the house unfolds.

The challenge with hallways is the proportions. Narrow walls, limited light, and less time spent lingering mean the art needs to work quickly: strong enough to register in passing, restrained enough not to crowd a tight space. Austin Bloom's prints are available in sizes from A4 to A0, so you can match even the most compact hallway wall.

Each print is a limited run on archival canvas or 310gsm cotton rag. Explore our Australian art prints collection for locally-inspired designs.

Hallways and entryways come with constraints that other rooms don't. Here's how to work with them rather than against them:

Go vertical. Tall, portrait-oriented prints suit narrow wall art where horizontal formats would feel cramped. A single vertical botanical or floral study draws the eye upward and creates a sense of height.

Keep the palette light. Hallways tend to receive less natural light than main rooms. Prints with lighter backgrounds — soft creams, pale botanicals, airy coastal tones — help the space feel open rather than closed-in.

Consider a series. A long hallway is one of the few spaces where a linear run of two or three smaller prints genuinely works. Matching prints from the same collection, spaced evenly, create rhythm without clutter. Our gallery wall sets are designed for exactly this.

Scale to the wall, not the room. In a tight entryway, a smaller print often reads better than an oversized one. The goal is to complement the space, not dominate it. Our Blankwall AR tool lets you preview prints at scale on your actual wall — invaluable for hallway art prints where getting the proportions right is essential.

Lighting matters. Choose prints with lighter backgrounds or warmer tones that don't depend on natural light to look their best. A small picture light above the frame can also transform a dim hallway into a highlight moment.

Can I create a gallery wall in a hallway? A long hallway is actually one of the best spaces for a linear gallery arrangement. Two to five smaller prints in consistent frames, spaced evenly, create a sense of journey. Our gallery wall sets are curated to work together without clashing.

Single statement piece (A2–A1) — One print centred on the wall opposite or adjacent to your front door. This is the simplest approach and often the most effective for small entryways. Choose a subject that reflects the character of the rest of the home.

Vertical pair — Two matching prints stacked vertically on a narrow wall. Works well with botanical studies or complementary florals from the same collection.

Hallway series (3–5 pieces) — For longer hallways, a linear run of smaller prints (A4–A3) in matching frames creates a gallery-corridor effect. Consistent framing and even spacing are key — keep all prints from the same collection for cohesion.
