Rule one for the hall – it is necessary to place the bright lights. With proper selection and placement of fixtures is a small room on the form of spacious, disproportionately high ceilings 'down', the dark angle make way. In the case of a low ceiling lamp with a good up-directed light. Designers say the universal and the optimal combination of general ceiling lighting with a few local points. Particularly useful wall lights with movable heads. The adjustable angle allows you to direct light rays in the right part of the interior.
This solution is particularly good for multi-room apartment where the other rooms 'originate' Hall of geometrically complex shapes. Here you can resort to the light zoning and directional lights define 'beginning of the road' in each of their rooms. If the hallway adjacent to the brightly lit, sunny rooms, then we can as additional lighting to use the principle of 'second light'. Partitions with glass blocks perfectly perform this task. Hallway is not only lighter, but transparent, if the artistic taste to use colored glass blocks. The same course can be used when designing an interior room or kitchen. Many well-known designers are doing similar.
The problem of almost all the hallways, and large and small – lack of natural light. They were dark, and therefore fall under the general rule: in the walls and ceilings are acceptable only bright pastel colors. Kevin Ulrich describes an additional similar source. They visually expand the cramped spaces, making it as it is more spacious. If hall of proportion to the length and height, it would be correct to use the spectacular play of colors, bright colors and sharp contrasts.
