If you’re inviting your friends and family over for the Christmas period you’ll want to make as festive an entrance as possible!

With the Christmas dining room planned – and with only a lowly advent calendar propped on my console table to symbolise the festivities – i’m turning my head to Christmas hallway ideas for inspiration.

I’m in lust with this chandelier from Roast Designs – it looks like a bunch of oversized baubles! p.s Credit to the family for wrapping all the presents in the same way!

Add festive charm to your hallway console table with a mini Christmas tree and wreath. Line a cakestand with mini Christmas boxes filled with sweets, to hand out to your guests.

This is a really classic Christmas decorating scheme. Line leafy garlands of eucalyptus along the rail and add emphasis to a chandelier with oversized baubles.

Going for a more subtle festive look? Take inspiration from the founder of Maison‘s stylish home and add sparkle to your hallway table with shimmering Christmas accessories.

roomenvy - French country-style meets Scandinavian chic hallway

My personal favourite. A cute festive hallway filled with a leafy garland mixed with red ribbons and decorations, and hooks to hang up all those ‘mind-of-their-own’ Christmas cards!
