Lamps in the hallway - 65 photos of interesting stylish design options
> Hallway > Lamps in the hallway - which ones to choose? 65 photos of fashionable novelties for the hallway!
Competent and thoughtful lighting of the corridor allows not only to focus on the details, but also to visually expand the modest space available.
This makes sense for small urban hallways, because most often there is no natural light in the corridor, and therefore artificial light must be used to create comfort.
Used chandeliers, wall lamps in the hallway, built-in spotlights. If the light is ultimately needed diffused, then it is worth combining the types of lamps.
Contents:
Selection criteria
The main question on your agenda is which lamp to choose in the hallway? Consider the features of the choice?
The power of the lamp should not be radically different from the intensity of light in the entire apartment - it is worth observing one level of illumination for the most comfortable stay in the apartment.
- The cost of 1 kW of electrical energy is constantly growing, and therefore people most often use weak lamps for this reason. You shouldn't do that, and here's why:
- A dim and dark entrance hall does not create the best impression, and it is not always desirable to come to such a house as a guest.
- If the lighting is weak, then you will not consider your reflection in the mirror, you will not put it in order normally.
We are not talking about the use of high power lamps, it is just worth choosing energy-saving options that consume little electricity, but at the same time they will normally illuminate the hallway.
In the hallway there should be diffused light, and for this purpose wall lamps in the hallway are used, the ceiling of which is made of frosted glass.
When choosing a sconce, it is important to take into account the features - if the relief is on the walls, then such lamps should not be used, because they will give a shadow, and there will be no comfort. Sconces are mounted on smooth surfaces, and at a height of at least 2 meters, so that the area is evenly lit.
Long hallway
City apartments mostly have long and narrow corridors, so the luminaire is chosen so that visually the room seems wider, and in some places even the geometry can be slightly corrected.
Ideal - spotlights in the hallway, which are used with a stretch ceiling.
If the ceilings in a narrow hallway are also high, then it is worth placing lamps along the walls to reduce the height of the ceilings and make the space more harmonious.
Mirror
The easiest way to illuminate a mirror is to hang a wall lamp on both sides. But this is the last century, because today you can easily buy mirrors with pre-built lights.
Ideal when mirror lights are placed in the hallway at the top of the frame. It is worth choosing a concise lamp, the ceiling of which is light, the glass is frosted, because the light thus becomes more diffused. Often lamps are chosen in the hallway, the ceiling of which rotates.
Recommendations
It is worth choosing interior doors with glass inserts in order to let more natural light into the hallway from the rooms.
Choose luminaires with a motion sensor. Affordable luminaire option that saves energy.
Do not bypass decorative lighting. Best of all, such a backlight looks on the floor, because the effect obtained allows you to get rid of the feeling of isolation.
If the entrance hall is elongated, then the surface of the walls can be diversified with illuminated paintings.
They create coziness and comfort in the hallway, no matter what its area, simply. You just need to study all the technologies, all the possibilities that are available today, to correct all the shortcomings of the room with light.
The catalogs in stores and on the Internet contain photos of lamps in the hallway, which are now available for use. Everyone for himself will be able to choose the option that suits best.

Which lamp and how to choose in the hallway
In Russian apartments, it often turns out that the hallway is connected to the corridor. In the traditional sense, the hallway is the place where a person gets when entering the house. This is the place that separates the living rooms from the street, where there are outerwear, shoes and things that we might need just outside the threshold - such as an umbrella, keys and gloves. Usually this is a small room, and a lot of lighting is not required in it.
It is not customary to hang artsy crystal chandeliers, visually burdened with decor, in the corridor. Most often, compact chandeliers are used in the hallway, preferably ceiling. If the ceilings in the apartment are not too high, then it is better to choose a chandelier or lamp so that guests can safely change clothes without touching it.
It is important to choose a luminaire that harmonizes with the light in adjacent rooms. The light should not be too bright, while remaining comfortable for the eye. A dark entrance hall will leave an uncomfortable impression of the apartment, make it difficult to navigate, and it will be difficult for the guest to find the right jacket or gloves. Too bright light will hurt the eyes in a closed small room. It is worth remembering that the hallway is a place devoid of windows, and the only source of light here will be lamps. In addition, the hallway needs lighting at any time of the day - daylight does not penetrate here. The best option is to combine different light sources.

We choose a chandelier in the hallway:
The chandelier should be ceiling-mounted, not suspended. You need to choose a chandelier of minimum height, without a long hanging decor. It should not interfere with dressing. Choose dim chandeliers with horns pointing upwards, closed shades or lampshades. Remember that the hallway is often a small room, and a chandelier that will look good in the hall or bedroom, creating diffused light, can be bulky and ridiculous in the hallway, its light can hit the eyes. It is better to prefer classic chandeliers to non-standard models with horns covered with one shade, in country style, high-tech.
We recommend not placing pendant lamps in the hallway, they can create a number of difficulties in addition to light, but, by the way, it depends on the height of your ceiling. If the pendant lamp is fixed so that it is impossible to reach it with an outstretched hand, then it is also a good option for the hallway.

Ceiling lamp for entrance hall:
Ceiling lamp - the best option for the hallway. It is better to choose lamps with matte shades that direct the light to the sides. Because diffused, soft light is better for the hallway.
There are nuances with the shape of the entrance hall: if it is square, then you should choose a ceiling lamp with a square or round shape. If the hallway is long and goes into the corridor, it is better to choose a square or rectangular lamp. Ceiling lights due to the brightness are not recommended for use in small hallways.
When choosing a ceiling lamp in the hallway, you should give preference to lamps with white matte shades. The material for them can be any - fabric, glass or plastic. It would be better to use a lamp for one cartridge and an energy-saving lamp.

BRASS AND PROPRA corridor, an ideal place to install sconces and wall lights. They can be installed on the sides of the mirror, if there is one in the hallway, for additional illumination of this area. If the hallway turns into a long corridor, then you can use the sconces as additional lighting, turning it on separately at night for soft and subdued lighting of the corridor. Compact wall lamps that do not protrude too much from the wall will be suitable for the hallway.
The ideal option is lamps covered with shades and having a streamlined shape. It is better not to choose a sconce with a lot of decor that you can touch while dressing. We advise you to avoid sconces and lamps with glass decorative elements, because in the conditions of a metropolis, the entrance hall is the place where we most often rush or enter the darkness until the light is turned on. There is a danger of accidentally touching the lamp and breaking the fragile decor. It is better to choose a decor that is stable, and even if it is glass and crystal, it is securely fixed.Bra

Hallway spotlights
Increasingly, recessed spotlights are now being chosen for hallway lighting. They are compact, give enough point light. Spots should be installed directly above the entrance, above the mirror and, if the hallway goes into the corridor, place two spots at a step interval from each other. It no longer matters what form the spots are, since they are small and insignificant. Spots are located on the ceiling, but can also be installed above the floor a few centimeters above the baseboard.
Now spots are produced not only in round or square shapes, flat and with a matte shade. There are spots with crystal pendants, with crystal shades in the form of flowers, metal in the form of spotlights, glass pyramids and many, many others presented on our website BCLight.ru. Different types of decor also make the light from spots different from each other - in the refraction of crystal shades, it will glare with rainbow lights on the walls. There are combined spots, most often they have a swivel function and they can be directed to a specific place - a mirror or a door - and rotated as needed.
It is very convenient to use spots if there are embossed structures in the hallway like shelves with decor or additional sheds for things. The light of an ordinary ceiling lamp or chandelier will be blocked by a shelf, while spots can be cut directly into it itself.

Separately, it is worth noting the use of LED strip lighting in the hallway. It can be placed a few centimeters from the floor for illumination. You can decorate a mirror with it for additional lighting when applying makeup, when shades and details are so important. Ribbons can also be used to illuminate shelves. Due to the flexibility of the tape, you can also create a separate decor from it, giving the tape a certain look.
Also, the LED strip can be placed along the edges of the ceiling or floor, which will create an unusual effect, as if the light flows to the edges and lingers there, visually expanding the boundaries of the hallway.
