Tips on Lighting a Hallway


Hallways don't need to be boring!  Though this area of your home is often forgotten when it comes to designing, it shouldn't be - it is one of the most frequently used areas of your home and should be an extension of the rest of your decor.  For shorter hallway areas, a nice flush or semi-flush ceiling light would be a great accent or, if you have taller ceilings a nice pendant would be a nice addition to this space. If you have a long hallway, you may want to consider sconces.  They have a wonderful aesthetic appeal!  To place sconces in your hallway (or any other area of your home) you want to space them every 8-10 feet and they should be approximately 60 inches off of the floor.
