New Traditional Entryway & Hallway Interior Design
Ideas, layouts, colors and materials for a new traditional entryway & hallway — plus the pieces that make the look work.
Designing a new traditional entryway & hallway
A new traditional entryway & hallway blends the new traditional look — familiar + refreshed, mahogany, printed cotton, ceramic — with layouts and details that suit a entryway & hallway. Start with the palette, anchor the room around a focal point, then layer in texture and lighting.
New Traditional entryway & hallway palette
Choose one architectural color for walls or cabinetry, retain dark timber as the historical anchor and repeat two brighter notes through art, print and ceramic.
Color roles
A fresh wall or millwork color that flatters dark timber and blue-and-white ceramics.
Updates classic painted rooms and connects checks, florals and contemporary art.
A lively velvet or print note that prevents blue schemes from feeling formulaic.
Provides genuine historical weight through useful old furniture.
Best retained on authentic hardware or one familiar light form.
