Artificial hallway lighting plays a significant role in the overall perception of the room. After all, it is here that not only the owners of the house, but also their guests, come first. And if the room is dark or unevenly lit, then no interior design will help create an atmosphere of coziness in it. In addition, a sharp difference in the intensity of lighting between living rooms and the hallway can have a negative impact on vision. Therefore, it is worth creating an equally bright light in all the premises of the house.
The application of general and local illumination of different directions will not only help to make the entrance hall stylish and cozy, but also hide all the shortcomings of the layout. Therefore, experienced designers recommend using not only ceiling lamps and chandeliers for the hallway, but also wall-mounted.
Lamps for the hallway - basic lighting
The main light in the hallway must be a ceiling light. But here it is necessary to take into account some of the nuances:
- hanging lamps for the hallway will look spectacular only in rooms with high ceilings. At low ceilings only ceiling light fixtures are suitable;
- the source of the main light for the hallway of small sizes can be point LED lights located throughout the perimeter of the room;
- a translucent suspended ceiling , illuminated from the inside, will be a successful way to visually increase its height;
- in narrow corridors, the light from artificial light sources should be directed to the walls.
Fixtures for the hall - additional lighting
When organizing hallway lighting, do not forget about the utilitarianity of this room. That is why we should pay special attention to the so-called working zones:
- The lamps for the mirror in the hallway should not have a complex shape. And the light that they emit, should not be sharp and scattered;
- lighting cabinet or wardrobe also requires additional light sources. It is advisable to mount the fixtures directly into the furniture, but if this is not possible, then it is worthwhile to make an accent on the ceiling in this place.
In addition, fixtures and sconces for the hallway can perform a purely decorative function. To attract attention to the spectacular elements of the decor, you can use the directional light of the lighting fixtures. Selecting a separate light area will also help to shift attention away from a large number of doors.
