Lighting
Tips: Transitional Spaces
Have you considered a skylight? Skylights have a way
of creating an open, spacious feel that is hard to duplicate with artificial
lighting. You could try adding wall lamps high up on your hallway walls
and direct the light downwards, which adds to the sense of space.
A practical tip: Use night lights in the hallway to
light a path from the kids room to yours - or to the bathroom.
You could also give your hallways a classy look by using
track lighting to light artworks.
Dimmer swithces are not all that important in transitional
spaces, but you might consider using more than one light switch in hallways
and staircases. Place a light switch each end.
