What for the wall in the hallway? Slatted wall panels and stucco as a fashionable choice
Decorative elements for the hallway should be chosen carefully. In many cases, decorative plaster, ceramic paint or upholstered panels will not work for wall finishes – especially in quite small spaces. If you want to achieve success in decorating a hallway, choose proven, classic solutions. Slatted wall panels and stucco will help you create a room that is sure to catch the eye of your visitors.

How to use slatted wall panels to decorate the hallway in a thoughtful way?
Decorative slatted wall panels are a finishing element that is characterized by exceptional aesthetics and functionality. Such an accessory will work even in a small hallway, so it is worth taking a closer look at it. What exactly are they?
Slatted wall panels are nothing more than vertical or horizontal elements mounted on walls. They can be arranged as full wall panels or in the form of loose, individual profiles – thanks to this you will introduce an interesting texture to your space, and additionally improve the proportions of the room. Mardom Decor offers three collections of slatted wall panels:
- Stretto collection – narrow profiles with a subtle profile, ideal for smaller rooms or as a delicate decorative accent. Thanks to their slender form, they introduce elegance and lightness without overwhelming the space. Slatted wall panels are available in five shades of wood and in universal white, which can be painted in any color, allowing full personalization of the interior.
- Medio collection – offers slatted wall panels of medium width, a compromise between subtlety and distinctiveness. Their universal size makes them a perfect match for various interior styles, from classic to modern.
- Largo collection – wide profiles, which are a distinctive decorative element, ideal for larger spaces. Their more massive form adds character and modernity to interiors. Like the rest of the collection, Largo is available in five shades of wood and in white.
How exactly to use slatted wall panels in the hallway?
Optical enlargement of space
Vertical slatted wall panels are one of the most effective ways to visually “lift” a low hallway. Their linear form leads the eye upward, thus giving the interior a slender and elegant look. To enhance this effect, choose bright colors. Why is this important? Walls in light tones make the interior appear larger. Slatted wall panels in white finishes, juxtaposed with paint in pastel shades, create a space that looks open and luminous.
Welcome zone with slatted wall panels and seat
Decorative slatted wall panels can create a clearly demarcated welcome zone. For this purpose, reach for the proven models LO1O2, which is a beautiful light oak, or bet on LO1O3, which falls into gray. Our customers equally often choose classic solutions, namely LO3O1, and the corresponding slatted wall panels end profiles LO3O1P or LO3O1TP. These are white slatted wall panels that match any interior design.
Mount the selected slatted wall panels on the wall behind the hanger or seat. If you add a mirror in a subtle frame made of stucco, you will optically enlarge the space. Stretto slatted wall panels in a light shade will work well in smaller hallways, adding lightness. In wider spaces it is worth reaching for wide Largo slatted wall panels, which will create a strong accent effect.
Practical wall with hidden storage
Use slatted wall panels not only as decorative elements, but also as an element for hiding certain solutions. Mount them on the door of a closet or storage room. Thanks to the durability of PolyForce material, the slatted wall panels are resistant to everyday use. The wood-colored variant will add warmth to the interior. You can also bet on SupremeSatin® technology, which provides excellent resistance to mechanical damage, is flexible and protects against moisture and dirt.
Slatted wall panels for ambience
LED backlighting adds a modern and striking touch. Mount LED strips behind slatted wall panels in a vertical arrangement. This will give you subtly diffused light. This solution not only highlights the structure of the wall, but also improves visibility in the hallway. Remember that you can use the LED lighting we offer .
Industrial accent with dark slatted wall panels
Industrial and modern interiors will gain character if you use dark slatted wall panels in combination with raw materials, such as concrete or metal. LO3O3 and LO1O4 are proven choices. You can arrange Largo slatted wall panels on one wall, and cover the rest with textured plaster. Add spot lighting to highlight details. Dark shades of graphite or black from the collection will bring elegance and clarity, perfectly matching the loft vibe.
What to finish the walls in the hallway so that everything is consistent with each other? We recommend you to combine wooden panels and textured paint – preferably reach for those resistant to any kind of dirt.
Ways to stucco in the hallway
Did you know that you can further enhance the whole effect of the interior design in your hallway? Slatted wall panels alone will certainly do the atmosphere, but it’s worth adding something else. At your disposal is stucco created from artificial material – PolyForce. The material contains special enhancers that increase the density and durability of the profiles.
There are many products available at Mardom Decor that will successfully decorate your hallway. Here are some of them:
Decorate your hallway with ceiling rosettes
Ceiling rosettes are a subtle but effective way to add elegance to any hallway. They are most often installed around ceiling lamps – this way you emphasize the focal point of the room and give it a classic or decorative touch. You can opt for ceiling rosettes, which are equipped with LED strips, for example, round ceiling rosette QROO2 or square ceiling rosette QROO5.
In modern interiors, ceiling rosettes with a simple geometric design, such as B3O25 and B3O3O, work well. On the other hand, in more traditional arrangements you can reach for richly decorated models – B3O29, B3O33 or B3O77.
If you want to introduce an interesting detail on the walls, use ceiling rosettes as a decorative accent, for example, in a composition with several elements arranged symmetrically. They also look good painted in a contrasting color to the wall – a green wall and pink details are just that. Remember to adjust the proportions of the ceiling rosettes to the size of the hallway – too large an element in a small room can overwhelm it.
Pilasters for the hallway
Pilasters, which are decorative architectural elements inspired by columns, are perfect for the hallway as a subtle accent that adds elegance to the interior. They can be used on the sides of the door, visually emphasizing its frame, or on the walls to give the space a more formal character. In narrow hallways, pilasters with a narrow profile optically lengthen and organize the space. In wider hallways you can combine them with wall mouldings. It is important that the pilasters match the style of the interior – simple caps, for example, D3533 or D35O3 will do well in modern arrangements, and richly decorated ones in classic or glamour.
Our offer includes pilasters of three lengths – 240, 220 and 200 centimeters. There is also a difference in width – you can choose a wide pilaster D1523 or an extremely thin one MDD412.
Framing the door with the help of stucco
An original way to finishes the wall in the hallway? Frame the entrance door with the help of special profiles. Such a detail will make your arrangement look polished in every way.
If your hallway is quite narrow, bet on simple, minimalist borders that will not overwhelm the space, but will add an orderly character. A good choice will be MD359E, which is our product created with ScratchShield technology – this is a modern solution that makes the profiles maximally hardened, which effectively protects them from mechanical damage – perfect for hallways, where they are particularly exposed to intensive use. In more spacious hallways you can use decorated stucco with details – cornices, decorative elements or corner elements .
What for the wall in the hallway? Summary
Arranging a hallway requires well-considered decisions, since this place has both a utilitarian and representative function. Slatted wall panels and stucco are ideal solutions that allow you to combine aesthetics with functionality. Thanks to them you can optically enlarge the space, and at the same time bring elegance to your interior.
Slatted wall panels, thanks to their versatility, are perfect for the hallway. Vertical profiles optically raise the space, while horizontal profiles widen it visually. Light colors, such as white or light shades of wood, add lightness and lightness to the space, while darker shades emphasize modern style, especially in loft arrangements. Slatted wall panels can be used as a whole wall decoration, a backdrop for mirrors or a place for hangers, as well as an element to hide storage, such as a closet door.
Stucco is equally versatile. Framing the front door allows you to create an elegant portal that attracts attention and gives the interior coherence. Ceiling rosettes are a subtle accent that emphasizes the focal point of a room, like a lamp. Pilasters, on the other hand, bring harmony and elegance, especially in spacious hallways.
