Light wallpaper colours introduce additional light into a dark hallway. If there are no windows, intelligent lighting with daylight lamps and suitable wallpaper types can make a huge difference.
Light colours for wall décor
Wallpapers with light base and pattern colours are the be-all and end-all for hallways with little or no natural light. Variations of cream and yellow are particularly "illuminating". Ideally, the base and pattern colours should match and/or merge. Strong contrasts or clashing colours are to be avoided. Wallpaper types with iridescent, shiny surfaces or 3D foils and glass bead wallpaper models reflect or scatter light, adding interest.
Lighting in hallways without windows
Sometimes, even light wallpaper colours aren't sufficient to give a hallway without windows a cosy character. An intelligent lighting concept which works with the individual layout and the functional aspects of the space is the answer. This might be, for instance, a row of theatre-type bulbs around the mirror by the coat rack or a modern light strip along the walls. Spot lamps set into the ceiling are also a great idea to add light to dark hallways. A lighting specialist can provide individual advice.
