Tuck in a bench
corridor can no longer provide for the possibility for a sitting area by a window - a place to sit in the sun. This integrated window seat serves as a "pause" in a sequence of doors, creating a space that is almost a room in its own right.

console you
Take an update of the traditional console hallway for a strong look. This slimline unit reflective trestle works as a place to display glassware rather than a workaday piece of furniture, and made a strong decorative statement.

Imagine living
Add a background
This flowery console and mirror convey royal splendor, but the deep blue wall plays an important role. By all means go for parts finely carved to add interest to an empty corridor, but do not underestimate the power of a dramatic context to really highlight them.

Request transparency
a glass or Perspex console works great to keep an open and fluid space. This full piece high gloss floor covering, as well as adding an open feeling.

Build it up
in a narrow corridor, built in shelving is a great solution. Take as high as you like for books and bits and bobs every day. This set of warm wood shelving beautifully blend with the floor for a sensation of light, clear and organized.

think thin
most Victorian and Edwardian hallways have very little space to play with, so it really pays to go super skinny with your furniture. This console has a large mirror over, making him feel more substantial, but it takes very little space.

Aim high
Sculptures add an interesting element to this corridor, and the bases boxy help them make their point. The symmetry of the two screens feels classic and dignified, especially in this monochrome palette muted.

Think shape and shade
This console subtly pulls together a black and white pattern, mirroring the dark ceiling and the floor patterns . If you have beautiful hallway tiles, use them as your key colors, picking furniture and accessories that will blend with them, rather than conflict with their shapes and shades.

Turn on the path
for a special occasion, a row of hurricane lanterns made a superb screen. invited to lead the party with a candlelit path (while keeping a watchful eye on the flames ...). Why not keep them as a permanent fixture - they would look almost as inspired off
