Easy style tips: Transform the hallway

Create an interesting stairway display

Make your hallway a space that creates the right first impression.

Use a mix of plain and ornate picture frames to create a fabulous display on the wall beside your staircase.

Aim for a ratio of two-thirds plain box frames to one-third ornate designs for a stylish look that isn't fussy.

Hang them at eye level, following the line of the stairs.
