![]() Not only do they light up larger areas such as hallways or staircases but can highlight interesting features in the space such as art or family photographs. Wall lights are also another great lighting option. ![]() ‘Pendant lights create a sense of coziness, especially when hung low, but also act as a statement piece. A statement light in an entranceway creates a focal point and for those with smaller spaces, it helps to lead the eyes up making the room feel larger.’ They should not only be welcoming but should also be the starting point for conversation. Julian Page, head of design at BHS Lighting (opens in new tab), says: ‘Hallways are the first impression when entering a home. ![]() Whether you’re opting for a number of lighting sources, you should always consider a statement ceiling light. ![]() *Special thanks to Behr for providing the paint for this space.(Image credit: Design: Malka Helft, Think Chic Interiors)Ī hallway should always feel warm and inviting so choosing the proper hallway lighting ideas is key. Hopefully this little refresh won’t take longer than the next few weeks. Yep, even seemingly small projects can become a long drawn out affair when products you order end up on back order, then finally arrive with missing parts. Next week I’m hoping to install a new light fixture…assuming all goes well and the parts ship to me on time. Even the kids say it “looks prettier” trust me, high praise when I still have so much to do in here. Now I just have to figure out how to “de-dingify” the grout on the flooring. The entry already feels more fresh and bright! I wish you could experience the difference just standing in it. I’m a sucker for a dark or colorful front door. The decor I have planned for this room will pop against this color and continue the style from the living room into the entry.

My living room (pictured below) is done and I’m loving how it turned out, but the adjacent entry now needs just a little pick-me-up to be up to snuff with the new living room.ĭon’t get me wrong, it’s a perfectly nice space…but maybe not quite my style. Isn’t it funny how you paint or improve one room in the house, and suddenly every other space looks a little more blah than before? Have a small entry?
