Make the most of a plain entryway with stand-out colour tones. This long and narrow hallway scheme starts with a neutral backdrop and is then layered with bright and pretty textiles and tones that create a fun and happy welcome.

Personality bursts out of the bright Parisan print Roman blind and looks divine set against the sunny yellow dresser that looks as though it was custom made for the space. Jenny Hamilton, the artist who created Toile de Paris, for Hillarys says: “Drawing influence from the rich tradition of toile de jouy, I wanted to capture this essence of discovery in a contemporary interpretation, bringing a touch of Parisian charm and storytelling into your home.”
