Hall

Hall lights for vestibules and staircases

Corridor lighting is essential along the most important routes in your house or flat. It provides both safety near stairs or steps and enough light above wardrobes and mirrors. As in most cases the hallway constitutes the entrance area for guests, a positive impression can be lights on sideboards or dressers create an appealing ambience. You should especially pay attention to the mirror, so that you can check your look again in a good light before leaving the house. The lamps should be placed on the right and left side of the mirror in order to give off shadow-free light and optimally illuminate the person looking in it.
In order to prevent accidents on the stairs, the single steps should be clearly recognizable particularly from upstairs with the help of the right lighting. As a guideline, every single step should contrast with the next one by short, soft shadows, thus making the stairs easy to be recognized. A ceiling light mounted above the stairhead or steplights which are integrated in the wall and illuminate every single step separately suit well for this purpose. Wall sconces are also qualified for a relaxed ambience and bring out positive points, but the lighting of the staircase should not dazzle and cast annoying shadows.
Tip: In order to make corridors appear bigger and nicer, the ambient light should point at the ceiling and the walls. Indirect ceiling lights or wall sconces as well as lights that give off the light pointedly up- or sidewards are suitable.
