Above, Jean Louis Denoit’s hallway featuring a modern photograph and a brass bench.

Hallways are sadly and commonly overlooked.  People walk by without even realizing that this long and sometimes narrow space is a branch of their homes therefore it’s part of what encompasses your mood, daily.  That is one of the reason why every home should have a beautiful hallway.  Obviously not all hallways are like these ones featured here which have floor to ceiling windows or glass exit door with natural light exposure.  As dark as the hallways may be, the most important thing to tackle is lighting and in this particular area of the house overhead lighting illuminates better.  Simple steps such as painting the walls in an interesting color or maybe even stripes, hanging art or mirrors on the walls, put an area rug ( just remember to apply double sided tape underneath for security) can make a big difference to a space we use so often.  Enjoy!
