Hallway Wall Lights
Hallway wall lights guide you through the space and make narrow corridors feel wider. Because they sit flat against the wall, the way stays clear. Here you will find slim alabaster columns, up-and-down lights in terrazzo and aluminium, travertine light bars and compact opal glass globes.
Choosing hallway wall lights
- Keep it flat: in narrow hallways, models with a shallow projection are ideal, such as the slim alabaster column BERGEN or the travertine light bar ANKA.
- Up and down: lights such as DALA in terrazzo or NOSCA in aluminium, available in six widths, cast light upwards and downwards and visually stretch the space.
- A statement at the entrance: the alabaster monolith ZILA or the alabaster column ELDUR in lengths from 50 to 80 cm make an impact in the entrance hall.
- Create a rhythm: in long hallways, identical lights at regular intervals look calm and orderly.
Planning hallway lighting
In a hallway, what matters is even, glare-free light. Mount the lights at a height of about 160 to 180 cm and space them to avoid dark patches. Beside a mirror, two lights on either side help to light your face without shadows. Neutral or warm white of around 3000 K makes for a friendly welcome. A hardwired installation is a job for a qualified electrician.
Frequently asked questions
How many wall lights does a hallway need?
It depends on the length. As a rough guide, allow one light every two to three metres, plus light at the entrance.
Which wall light suits a narrow hallway?
Flat models with a shallow projection that do not stick out into the walkway – such as light columns or up-and-down lights.
Which colour temperature is best for a hallway?
Warm white of around 2700 to 3000 K feels welcoming. If you also check shoes and clothes in the hallway, a slightly more neutral light is a good choice.
