Recently, lighting up your staircase and hallway has been a trending idea in interior design. Besides their basic use, the overall look of your home. Although hallways are narrow, a little touch of elite lighting could instantly spruce it up as an excellent interior space. Similarly, staircases can be neatly illuminated to be the inevitable characteristic of your home.
Lighting for staircases must be managed in the best way possible. While maintaining their aesthetic beauty, you must also ensure their functionality. Hence, here's a handbook of a few brilliant ways in which you can brighten up the hallways and staircases in your home!

As we say, the greatest of the designs arise from glancing at the trivial aspects. Illumining the staircase and hallway is a bit unconventional idea for a traditional house. And, there are a few reasons for it.
Primarily, hallways are narrow passages that are barely noticed by anybody who visits your home. Likewise, staircases serve the full-on purpose of connecting multiple stories. So, it’s quite common to ignore these spaces while considering lighting your home interior. However, that’s a mistake!
Your hallways and staircases could be the hidden gems that are potential enough to renovate the casual appearance of your home. Placing unique and sleek-designed pieces of light in these areas will elevate the richness.
And, guess what the best part is? With Lighting Gallery, you need not take the trouble of investing in any fancy lights! Rather, you can enrich the hallway and staircase with simple and gorgeous light fixtures itself. Let's look at some ideas below!
Stunning Ideas To Light Up Your Staircase And Hallway
1. Start with your hallway
Hallways are great spaces in your home, to begin with unique interior lighting. Unlike other corners in your home, hallways are mostly narrow where there’s little to no natural light entering. So, having a well-lit hallway can be impactful for your home aesthetics.
It could be tricky to light up a narrow space with lights. Any heavy fixtures could be placed overhead, while if the lighting pieces are smaller, multiple ones can go along the hallway walls.

A Golden Shiloh pendant can truly elevate the look of the hallway with its breathtaking appearance. Or, you could consider mini pendants from ET2 that lits up the hallway with high-power LED bulbs.
2. Place a statement light for the stairs
Often, hallways could be leading up to the staircase in your home. This a golden chance to show off a statement piece of lighting to your guests.
You could utilize the ceiling just above the staircase and decor it beautifully with masterpiece lighting. Measure the exact height and space available to you and choose a suitable lighting fixture.
At Lighting Gallery, you will find impressive chandeliers and pendant lights to ignite the ambiance of your home. To add a grand dimension, you could opt for a multi-drop Regina Andrew chandelier which gives a dreamy play of light and blooms. Similar options are available in our pedants’ collection.
3. Add vivid wall lights along the stairway
Adding lighting systems need not be restricted to just the ceiling above the staircase and hallways. You could choose to install exquisite wall lighting along the stairway too. But, don't go overboard. Consider the width of the space along the stairs where you have to add the lights.
Remember the lights shouldn't hinder the passage. Flush mounts such as Buster And Punch spotlight are good choices to draw attention to a painting or artwork kept along the staircase.
Alternatively, you could consider placing an upper-level sconce like the Regina Andrew that will upscale the bold look of your home with its glitz and glamor.

4. Improve the functionality of spaces
Along with meeting the decorating needs, you must not overlook the usefulness of lights in the stairs and hallway. Especially, if you have old age peeps at home, it's worth considering lighting that helps them navigate through the hallway and stairs.
You could try adding recessed lights from a lower level so that the steps are visible. This can accentuate the style of your stairs along with increasing the practicality of lights.
5. Layer the lights
Can't stress more the need to layer lights! Lights when placed in appropriate layers will improve the richness of your home. Be it a hallway or staircase, add lights that project the key spaces.
You could consider a linear series of lights for the hallway or a graceful lamp to illuminate your stairways or hallways. A Tala lamp is an excellent example of an adjustable floor lamp; you can easily customize its height as and when necessary!
6. Install lights for the landing corners
There are pendants and mini pendants that elevate the look of the landing of a stairway. Or, a wall sconce is a striking addition to light up the corridor. This can elevate the “wow” factor for the narrow and seemingly insignificant areas of your home.
