Hallways can be transformed into elegant, inviting spaces with the right touch. On one hand, the experts advise leaving the area blank to allow room for foot traffic while on the other hand, decorate to express one’s style.
Every hallway is different so regardless of which option one chooses to follow, there is no right or wrong way to go about accessorising. It should always be welcoming to draw guests into the home.
Here are some ideas to assist you in lighting up your hallway seamlessly;
Put Away the Clutter
Revamping your hallway is a fun way to welcome your guests to experience the uniqueness of your home. It often takes little time with a lot of creativity to upgrade this space.
Most hallways tend to get overcrowded easily especially if they are small hence a minimalistic design is the way to go. Consider putting away unnecessary clutter that is barring the hallway to give room for a stunning and unforgettable space.
Light It Up
An easy way to light up your hallway is by use of artificial light in case natural light is not enough. For a practical lighting solution, visit the lighting shop to choose design lights such as a group of mini pendant lights – a huge trend at the moment, to create a soft pool of light to highlight the area closest to the door.
For a simple hallway, some low-wattage bulbs will create some warmth to the walls. Ask for light controls that allow one to easily switch the different lights according to the need.
Use Reflections
The best way to maximise your hallway space is through the use of mirrors. The larger the mirror the better and the brighter. You can mount a large mirror at the end of your hallway with some lamps on either side to give an illusion enhanced space.
Make It Art
There is art as to how different furnishings are placed in a space. Hallways are great areas to stage personalised art like family photos or artwork that brings memories. Enliven the floor with a vibrant artistic carpet which makes the hallway feel more modern and homey.
Make It Grand
Home decor is all about proportions. You cannot afford yourself an elaborate hallway and go weak in the decor. High ceilings allow for supersized fixtures like a huge lighting accessory or a wall hanging to create that desired first impression.
Paint It Up
The right paint or wallpaper can brighten and elevate the darkest of spaces. The hallway requires a shade of paint that compares to the space.
If it’s narrow, brighter colors are better as darker paints can make the space feel smaller and unappealing. For the adventurous at heart, feel free to experiment on different fun colors, texture and patterns.
