I don't have one in my house so this isn't a worry for me. But, what do you do with yours? See more @ http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/01/23/decor-ideas-hallway_n_6533064.html
My hallway is not very long. I could put up picture I suppose, but could not place any furniture in it. One side is mostly doors, and the other side has switches, the control panel for the heat/AC and has their return running along the baseboard, so I am blocked out on both sides as far as furniture. Even if that were not the case, I still probably wouldn't put anything in the hall. We don't even have a lot on the walls other than some framed art in the dining room and over the sofa.
I have a couple, one has a large white 7ft bookcase, one of those with a ladder that slides side to side and the other an antique water table with a large french provincial clock above also a beautiful 1960's gramophone, my husband still uses it to play vinyls from time to time, kids love it, so do I actually Of the images in your article I like this one the most
