The first thing people see upon entering your abode is the hallway. Good reaon to pay special attention to this area. I think in your hallway you can be bolder than the rest of the house since you don't actually spend much time here. In Europe most houses and flats tend to have hallways unlike in the New World where you stand in the living/dining/kitchen area upon entering. It opens up the space for sure but may not be so practically.
Here are some inspirations.

A glass stairway lets light pass through and makes the hallway look bigger.

Simple and uncluttered. Check out the floor. So much character.
