Long upstairs corridor ideas
Comments (2)I wonder whether the darkness of the doors accentuates the narrow, long aspect of the corridor. A mirrored wall might be one way to 'widen' the space. I definitely wouldn't do corbals and chandelier which would mKe it look smaller. Your lighting looks really good currently...See MoreNarrow corridor/hallway
Comments (13)It's hard to tell how wide the lanterns are but I wouldn't go for something too skinny. I'd have art just on the left. The middle of the art should be eye level and mimic the shape of the wall it's on. So wall 1 something portrait. Wall 2, why not hang a narrow shelf as in the first pic and have a group of 4 art hung over the top? I'd probably also keep the art below the height of the door frames but I'd just try it out as Jules said and tack bits of paper etc to the wall. Personally I'd paint the ceiling a darker tone to bring the height down, I'd also add a runner for some texture. If you did want anything on the rhs I'd go for a mirror...See Morehow shall I update this hallway and upstairs corridor?
Comments (24)Hi Juby, I think this space could be something special for you. I understand the problem as we live in a Victorian terraced house and space and light are always an issue. I fee your pain but think i can help. In terms of the walls, If you want something different, you can colour block the wall opposite the radiator. Potentially the bottom half sage or navy and the top half a fresh and contemporary white like pretty pale from valspar . On this wall, a large landscape mirror will add brightness to space. The remainder of the space can be painted in the lighter 'pretty pale' colour. The arch detail is stunning! You could really feature this by using the wall colour to highlight the details. We have exactly the same problem with our coats. I am obsessed with shoes and coats! If you were to thin these out, this would make a huge difference. If you use individual hooks, you can space the coats out to thin the density. You have a long wall so have the space. A big part to add would be a second light at the bottom of the stairs. The light is so bright but is doing nothing for the rest of the hallway or stairs. Also, try a neon light. Gives off bright light in a small way but can add detail and light. Have you thought about a shelf over the radiator for your keys and wallet? Nice and simple. Going up the stairs, a gallery is a great idea. Bold prints will add detail and colour. Think about painting a square of the downstairs feature colour to bring continuity to the design all the way up to the landing and to add detail to the light landing. Please feel free to get in touch if you would like me to create a 2D and 3D design for you to bring this to life for you. Either way, i am confident you can really create a dream entrance!
