Find Out How to Light Up Your Hallway Whether Small or Large, Dark or Light

Your hallway can be a difficult place to illuminate for a number of reasons, the lack of windows, dark corners and awkward places to light up. So when it comes to choosing your hallway lighting, it is important to know which lighting option will work the best for your space. 

 

Small Hallways

Small hallways can be difficult to light, this is due to the lack of space which can often cause uneven levels of lighting and dark corners. Which can often leave your space feeling much smaller.

A great way to improve the lighting levels in your small hallway is to add multiple wall lights. This will allow you to light up every corner of your hallway without the lighting being too harsh and over powering.

Another great way to brighten up a small hallway is to add pendant lights. They are a great choice if you want to add lighting that will effectively light your small space while adding to the overall aesthetic in your hallway.

Large Hallways

Large hallways can often be difficult to illuminate. This is down to the fact that there is much more space and some lighting options may be insufficient, which can cause uneven lighting. Having uneven lighting in a large hallway can often make the space feel cold and uninviting, so it is important that you choose the right lighting options for your space.

Adding statement lighting is a great option for large hallways. They offer plenty of lighting while making a statement in your home and their eye-catching designs means that adding more than one, will not only add more lighting into your halfway, but will also elevate the design in your space.

Dark Hallways

Dark hallways typically have no windows, which means they will have no natural light. This can make your hallway feel small and much harder to navigate. A great way to brighten up dark hallways is to incorporate lighting that mimics natural light.

The Searchlight Silver LED Flush Light with White Acrylic Shade will effectively brighten up your hallway, making this a great option for dark hallways. This ceiling light features a flushed design, which makes this light a great edition to modern homes.

Light Hallways

Having a hallway that is full of natural light is always a bonus in your home. But, choosing lighting for a hallway that is already full of light can be difficult. However,  there are ways that you can add light to your space which won’t cause bright and harsh lighting levels in your hallway.

A great way to do this is to incorporate ambience lighting. This will provide softer and warmer lighting levels which won't become overpowering in your light space.
