Set the tone
Hallways can be difficult to nail down. As they are often left until last in a remodeling project, you may well have run out of steam and, of course, the money by the time you get around. But if you put as much enthusiasm in planning this neglected area like the living room, kitchen and bathroom, you'll end up with a beautiful space that sets the tone for your entire home and makes you smile every once you walk through the door.

Get busy with wallpaper
While some may say the patterned wallpaper is too busy for a small space, like a corridor, many disagree. A small scale model probably works better than a large scale, and raise your bland hallway hallway entrance enviable. To avoid overkill, stick with three walls and prevent the wall of the staircase.

Brighten with clothes

use mirrors
As dark walls absorb more light, enjoy a light by hanging mirrors, which will bounce light around. Before you hammer the fasteners in the wall, however, get a friend to hold the mirror in different positions so you can suss reflection you want.

remember the details

You can also rearrange your existing radiator with a specialist paint resistant to heat, or opt for a radiator cover and paint the same color as the walls or woodwork.

dare to shine
If you prefer high glamor with an art deco edge, black lacquered walls (or gloss paint if you're on a budget) could be the answer. Not only this finish earns some serious points in the style stakes, high gloss finish will bounce light around and create a reflective surface like a mirror.
