Lighting ideas for landing?
Hi all I'd really value your advice.
We're having our landing re-plastered and wanted to get your opinions on the best lighting for the space. Currently as shown in the pictures there are two ceiling pendants and a skylight.
We'd like to keep the ceiling pendants but thinking of adding recessed spotlights that will project light down onto the ceiling of stairs and back wall. All advice greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

PRO7 years agoHi Tom, I would go for large statement pendant lights which draw the eye away from the actual ceiling and then light the stairs using side lights or wall lights embedded into the back wall
I hope this helps

Any ideas on how to decorate this wall between the stairs and the land
Comments (2)Hi Grace, wallpapers are a great way to add interest in a space, I'd suggest selecting a paper that doesn't have a vertical pattern as it will make the stairway feel taller and narrower. Ideally a paper with an overall pattern, or a horizontal pattern would work best. Here a few ideas: design option 1 & design option 2. I'd recommend adding a radiator cover; as well as hiding the radiator it will also provide a shelf to add photo frames &/or a flower arrangement, as long as you've got enough space on your landing! Hope that helps! PB...See Morestairway and landing ideas
Comments (9)Joanna, For a true light scandi design here, it would be bare floorboard (maybe check under the carpet), a white for the staircase and door frames/doors and ceiling then a slighting darker light or maybe very light grey for the wall area. Traditionally they would not have curtains in this area but I think if you changes to a grey blind that compliments the sage ( or another green) it would look great. A few plants on the window cill, ivy is easy to look after and would fall down the wall, would look great too. It's a cold place, in winter most of the time, so scandi design is all about reflecting light and letting as much as possible in. It's also about high quality materials and getting back the bare materials, hence the floorboards :) I hope this helps a little and I look forward to seeing the design.

Comments (29)If you like sage green, use sage green! The hall looks a little dark in places and all the wisdom from designers is that if it is dark, it is dark and no amount of bright colours will change it; they will look less bright in the dark - which equals dark. Go with it and use your favourite green or an even darker shade. Green is about to be very big; be ahead of the curve! It's also really hard to imagine it not being dark but as soon as you have some furniture in there, and some pictures or other things on the walls, it will look interesting and have a bit of a visual lift. Put up a couple of mirrors, too, to reflect the light which will make it seem lighter - you could have one on the right of the stairs so it reflects a little from the window and one on the wall in the main section near the front door. Have a bit of fun with it. It's where everyone arrives - cosy is very welcoming all year round....See MoreNeed ideas for hall/stairs/landing
Comments (1)Hi Kerry, That's a challenge. Make sure you dust off, rub down and dust off again before wiping damp cloth over. Allow to dry before you apply undercoat and your chosen paint colour. Of course, that's for woodwork. You can search the Houzz for ideas on hallways and staircases. We hope this helps. Kind Regards, Adam Paintforme...See More
