Hallway Lamps

Choosing a hallway lamp largely depends on the style of the house and the interior, the height of the hallway and the height of the ceiling. Keeping these factors and, of course, your own taste in mind, a suitable hallway lamp can be chosen: will it be a modern ceiling lamp or an impressive chandelier?

Small hallways

Usually, coats, bags, scarves, shoes and umbrellas are all stored in the hallway. Maybe there is also a mirror to help place any finishing touches before leaving. It is the place where people leave and come home again. In short: many things happen in the hallway. Small hallways should be designed in a practical manner. When it comes to lighting, most small hallways benefit from a ceiling lamp. Ceiling lamps are installed tightly against the ceiling, which means that the lamp will not get in the way of doors or people who are passing through. Hanging lamps are less practical in small hallways. Besides, they will make the room look smaller optically. At The Blue Art Barn Lighting, ceiling lamps come in all shapes and sizes. Round, square or in a more artistic shape. Ceiling lamps can have various styles: classic, modern, vintage, industrial, Art Deco, Art Nouveau, rustic and design. Generally, a fitting can be ordered in bronze, nickel, brass or chrome. Depending on the model, the glass lampshades can also be delivered in various colours, such as opal/milk-white, yellow and marbled glass. Have a look at the category Ceiling Lamps to view all models. Are there certain corners in the hallway that are difficult to illuminate with a ceiling lamp? In this case, a wall lamp can be a good solution. Wall lamps are also very functional when placed beside a flight of stairs: they can mark the passage.

Medium and large hallways

When the hallway is more spacious, it is also possible to opt for a hanging lamp. Usually, the pendants can be shortened or lengthened. The latter can be necessary for high ceiling in, for instance, historical buildings or modern houses. Timeless hanging lamps that look stunning in a hallway are the Menhir, Acorn, School Sphere, Luxury School and Globe. Naturally, a multitude of lamps can be placed in the hallway. The hanging lamps are available in different styles. Have a look in the category Hanging Lamps to view all of them. Large hallways sometimes require more than one lamp for them to be illuminated well. Wall lamps and table lamps are perfect for this. They can illuminate dark corners, for instance, above a mirror. Table lamps give the hallway a homely atmosphere. Place them, for instance, on a side-table or on a small table in the hallway. When it comes to historic houses, chandeliers help to give a grand entrance. At The Blue Art Barn, there is also a large collection of chandeliers.

Hospitality industry and offices

The Blue Art Barn is also the perfect address for business clients. The entrance of a hotel, restaurant, office, theatre, cinema, library, school or other functional building needs to be illuminated well. Stylish lighting, that fits with the look of the company. The entrance is the face of your company and it should give off a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The Blue Art Barn Lighting can advise you when choosing the right type of hallway lighting.
