Chrome Floor Lamps: How to Style Them in a Hallway
Hallways are often the darkest and narrowest rooms in a UK home, so the right floor lamp can change how the whole house feels when you walk through the front door. Chrome is a natural choice, because its reflective finish catches the little daylight available and makes a lamp appear lighter than it really is. In this guide we explain which lamp shapes suit tight corridors and which are better saved for larger rooms, and we look at three reliable positions: beside a console table, at the foot of the stairs and in a wider entrance hall next to a bench or shoe cabinet. We cover how to keep the walkway clear, why depth matters so much in a corridor and what to consider in flats where the hall forms part of an escape route. You will also find advice on warm bulbs that flatter chrome, finish pairings with tiles, glass and wood, shade choices and keeping fingerprints at bay....
