Take Your Plain Hallway From Drab To Fab With A Bright And Decorative Solution

Hallways can be one of those spaces that go unnoticed most of the time. They act as a go-to between rooms, sometimes being used for storage as well. More often than not, people don't spend much time in them (unless you decide to try a home design solution that turns unused hallway space into a library). However, if you've put a lot of effort into decorating and designing your home, drab, boring hallways just won't do. Just one addition is needed to improve your hallway, and it won't take up any floor space. By adding a stylish light fixture to your hall's ceiling, you can upgrade it to become much more chic and help it match the other areas of your home that you're so proud of. A chandelier will not only elevate a corridor but also provide more light to brighten the length of it and make it appear more inviting. You might even add some furniture to spend more time in your hallways after trying out this simple hack!

Not only do lights help brighten and elevate your space, but they can make a narrow hallway feel wider, too. If you already have a light fixture in your hallway, this is a simple swap out that just requires a new hanging (and possibly some wiring). Most hallway lights are plain and utilitarian, just meant to illuminate the space. A stylish chandelier will instantly upgrade your corridor, adding a design element that many halls don't have. It seems so easy, but many people don't even think about changing this fixture out because a hallway is a means to an end in most homes.

You obviously want to keep the theme or aesthetic of your home flowing through your hallway, so when it comes to choosing a chandelier, find fixtures that match what you already have in place. However, if your hallway is fairly plain or undesigned, you could also build the decor around the chandelier you pick. Options like the Dolria Mini Chandelier are understated yet stylish and make it easy to complement other pieces in the corridor. Should you decide to go bigger, you could opt for a fixture like the Simpdecor Flameless Candle 4-Light Chandelier or the FlavorThings Modern Chrome Beading Chandelier, which hang lower and provide more of a focal point in the space.

Some hallways don't have pre-wired lighting, and that's fine, too. For these, you will need to use options that are battery operated so that you can use a remote and only have to worry about the lighting when the batteries give out. While rechargeable light bulbs are great for lamps and sconces, removing the bulb whenever it needs a charge may get tedious. If you have a long hallway, you could also choose to use two or more lights down the length of the space. This would be a great way to decorate a boring hallway, especially if it is longer, as you'd get double the design elements.
