How to light your hall

Lighting a hallway or entryway can be a challenge, as it is a transitional space that is often overlooked in terms of design. However, good lighting not only improves its functionality, but can also make it a space as welcoming as the rest of the home. Below, we will offer you practical tips to illuminate your hallway efficiently, considering the geometry of the space (a crucial aspect), and exploring different ways to get the most out of it.

As we have mentioned, the geometry of the hallway or hall is essential, since illuminating a long, narrow hallway is not the same as lighting a wide, square one. Ceiling height also plays an important role in choosing the right lighting.

For example, in long, narrow hallways, one of the most common options for its functionality and aesthetics is to install recessed spotlights. However, it is very important to distribute them correctly. They are often placed centered in the hallway and at equidistant distances, which can accentuate the 'cave effect', a less than decorative result.

However, if we place the spotlights close to the walls, we will obtain more uniform lighting. This will not only highlight the texture and decorative elements, such as paintings or furniture, but will also create a larger and warmer feeling in the hallway.

Another excellent option is LED strips installed in a profile recessed into the ceiling. They offer continuous and uniform lighting that can soften the appearance of long, narrow hallways, avoiding the 'cave effect' generated by recessed spotlights, as we mentioned before.

If we cannot install recessed spotlights or we do not have enough ceiling height to place hanging lamps, LED surface spotlights become an option to consider. We should not underestimate its ability to transform spaces, since today we can find very attractive and modern designs.

The wall lamps with double light effect are an excellent option to add a different and decorative touch to your hallway. This type of wall light not only immediately catches the eye, but also creates a unique and cozy atmosphere. Here you can see the latest designs in LED wall lights.

If, in addition, you want to improve traffic safety in your home while incorporating a decorative element, beacons embedded in the wall are ideal. These beacons provide effective and elegant signage, enhancing both the functionality and style of your environment.

As a last tip, consider incorporating indirect lighting, as well as floor or table lamps in your hallway to give it a special touch. Indirect lighting softens the ambiance and creates a cozy atmosphere, while lamps add a surprising detail that enhances the design of the space.

With these ideas, you can achieve a perfect balance between functionality and aesthetics in your hallway. We hope they inspire you and help you create a space that reflects your personality.
