Hallways are the first impression visitors have of your home. However, they can also be smaller and more cramped compared to other rooms and are frequently neglected when it comes to styling up your interior space.
Hallways often lack windows or a means of natural light. However, making your hallway feel brighter with clever use of flooring, lighting and colour schemes, will ensure that the space is uplifting, energising and airy, no matter what the season.
Tips
Clever lighting is essential for brightening up a space, whether you opt for stylish wall sconces, unobstructive spotlights or multiple matching pendants. Uplighters create a cosy, diffused, light. If space permits, floor lamps are great for brightening up corners.
The clever use of colour is essential. Pale colours will reflect the available light. Metallics are reflective and bring a space to life. Or classic white is a sure-fire way of brightening up even the smallest of spaces.
Mirrors or mirrored furniture reflect light and immediately open a space.
Consider the use of light from adjacent rooms. By switching solid interior doors to ones with glazed panels, light can be filtered in from other areas of your home.
