Consider the hallway...because you probably haven't.
It's not just a means to an end, but rather an opportunity to take advantage of every square inch of square footage that you have.
I can hear groaning out there right now from those of you in homes with hallways so narrow that you need a traffic light to avoid collisions.
Check out these Jack Sprats...
Dramatic lighting, color, and detail, make those narrow spaces big and bold.
Many of you are not "color" fans, or you rent, and are not allowed to paint.
Well, white can be right...run with it...
For those of you lucky enough to have the space and liberty to do as you please, a hallway makes a terrific gallery for showcasing your art work and collections.
If your living room and den shelves are overflowing, why not add a library and storage to the hall?
Attention to the floors can pay off with dramatic results.
If you are building a home, don't forget to give your atriums and hallways a little architectural oomph...
Continuing a room into a hallway is a smart way to take advantage of space you already have.
A little daring-do, and you've got yourself a chic corridor...
Remember...
Don't become so preoccupied with the destination that you forget the journey.
