A lack of natural light is one of the most common causes for a dark hallway. If the front of your house is north-facing or the windows are small/non-existent, then you will face an even larger challenge of brightening the space.
'Lighting is a big problem for small spaces,' says Dominic. 'If you have a long hallway, consider installing multiple spotlights down the length of it rather than a singular light trying to illuminate the whole area.'
'And don’t worry if you don’t have sockets – you can invest in battery-powered lamps as a solution – meaning there are no plugs and wires to trip over either!'
In short, when there are no sources of natural light, look to artificial lighting instead. There are many ways you can add lighting to your hallway so that it's illuminated at any time of day, and combining a multitude of these methods is the key to ensuring that your entryway feels bright.
