The classic central hallway of a character villa cries out for a bit of creativity.
Often, these hallways are treated quite formally or as an almost forgotten zone, simply a space to pass through. But because halls aren’t places you hang around in, they can afford to be visually bold. Use a dark or strong colour, something with wow factor. It should link in some way to other colours in the house, maybe echoed through the house with accessories or furnishings of the same colour.
Did you know: That hallways such as this are great spaces for feature pendant lights, whether that’s an ornate chandelier, a large colourful drum shade, or something arty and contemporary?
