The hallway is the first thing guests see and the wall that gets touched most in daily life. Wallpaper here must look good and be tough.

Opening up narrow hallways

  • Light base, fine pattern: cream, sand and light grey reflect light and keep the corridor from feeling tight.
  • Vertical lines: striped wallpaper lifts low ceilings and gives long corridors rhythm.
  • Feature end wall: a darker or patterned wall at the end draws the eye and shortens the corridor visually.

Staircases: calculate correctly

  • Strips get longer and shorter along the stairs. Calculate with the longest strip, or you will run short.
  • A large pattern repeat means more waste. The method is in how many rolls of wallpaper.
  • Above 4 m wall height you need scaffolding and two people.

Built for daily life

At hip height bags, coats and children's hands hit the wall. Choose at least a washable wallpaper there; transparent corner guards protect edges. The classes are explained in washable wallpaper.

Frequently asked questions

Can a hallway be dark?

With daylight and a width of about 1.5 m or more, dark adds depth. Narrow windowless halls are better kept light.

Large patterns in a hallway?

Yes, but on one wall only. Two facing patterned walls make narrow spaces restless.

How many rolls for a staircase?

Calculate each strip with its own height and plan one spare roll from the same batch.

Which wallpaper withstands knocks?

Vinyl surfaces or painted glass fibre wallcovering.

Can you hang the staircase for me?

In the Stuttgart, Heilbronn and Heidelberg area, yes; prices on installation cost per m².
