How do you fill empty hallways and walls?
I love building, but I constantly struggle with filling hallways and empty walls. After adding a certain number of bookcases, it becomes overkill, and it only really makes sense to have closets/coat a...

Wow! @Stormkeep That is an awesome place :smiley: I really like what you've done with the area with the bar.
Well, my go-tos are paintings/posters/tapestries for walls and a nice sidetable/commode with nicknacks and/or plants/statue. Also elongated (is that the word) rugs that run through the hallway like Stormkeep has done. What are those rugs called anyway? I also, like Stormkeep, make use of the space if the hallway is big enough to fit the more functioning items to make it useful. For instance I really like the little workspace (the desk/computer/chair) on the upstair landing at the Partihaus' place even though every bedroom has a desk and a computer.
In one place of mine a hallway is sporting a threadmill and another holds the family's geek doll collections and if there is a frontdoor or even a backdoor, I do like to put a working or even non-working wardrobe near them for all those outdoor clothes, especially since I got Seasons. A doormat and the umbrella stands are also a must.
The hallways also come useful when the household expands and space is premium. In one house the upstair hallway is where I put stuff that are stored. You know, every house has a place where things pile up but are too useful to throw away. I put down a nice empty bookcase and filled it with all kinds of cc-clutter like a flashlight, boxes, some bric-a-bracs, old dolls and toycars, a few of those magazine holding things, gloves, a wrench and other mechanic things, gardening tools and even books.
This bookcase was actually in a room that functions as a man-cave/storing room/an excersize room and it even had a woman's vanity table because the bedroom is too small for one. But when the kid came long the bookcase went into the hallway so I could fit a toychest and a few kid related stuff in preperation of moving the kid in when he becomes a child. Right now he sleeps in the same room as the parents.
