Hallway & Entrance

Hallway lighting can provide safe, welcoming and connected spaces between rooms. This range of hallway light fixtures is suitable for corridors, landings and smaller entrance areas. Choose from simple ceiling lights or more dramatic hallway chandeliers which provide adequate light to a space without making it feel too small. Whether you choose a ceiling fixture or a hanging design, hallway lights should make the route between rooms feel safe, clear, and welcoming.

Hallway Light Fixtures for Everyday Use

To choose the right hallway lighting fixture for your home consider a number of factors: the width of the hallway, the height of the ceiling and the amount of clearance required to move around comfortably. The hallway light should illuminate the path clearly and feel proportionate to the nearby doors, walls, and furniture. A very narrow hallway can benefit from a very slim and lightweight fixture, to avoid making the space look too cluttered. However in larger hallways with higher ceilings a more striking fixture, such as a hallway chandelier can form a fantastic focal point. Consider too the view from the rooms that lead off the hallway and try to select a light that fits in with the style of other home lighting.

Hallway Ceiling Lights for Narrow Spaces

Ceiling lights for a hallway are often used in narrow corridor spaces with low or medium ceiling heights. It is important to note the ceiling height of the space you are to place the hallway light fixture in and compare it with the total drop of the fixture. Ideally, you will be able to provide the appropriate amount of light throughout the hallway and not have the light fixture protrude down from the ceiling too much.

Ceiling lights for hallways can be small or come in more elaborate designs. In a narrow corridor it is important that the ceiling light provides balanced lighting, while at the same time not giving the impression of being too low. Check the ceiling height of the available space and compare it with the fixture’s overall drop before making a final choice.

Hallway Pendant Lights and Decorative Fixtures

By adding a hallway pendant light to a narrow hallway, you can add an element of style to a very straightforward space. In particular, these sorts of light fixtures are well-suited to spaces above a landing, at the end of a corridor, or at the foot of a set of stairs, such as between a living room and a dining room. This type of fixture can look particularly great in a long, thin space with a high ceiling.
