Remember you must have good lighting for safety reasons. To prevent accidents, stairs should be lit from top to bottom with switches in both places.

 To ensure safety, also place lighting fiztures every 8 to 10 feet in hallways.
4.
 Tie fixtures with the chandelier/ pendant. Choose semi flush lights for hallways and smaller chain lung lights for stairways.
 

For accent lighting needs use matching wall sconces to complement your chandelier or pendant.

Add a dimmer to set the tone of the room.

Use decorative Double Life products in the foyer to add a warm, welcoming touch.

Try washing one side of a hallway with light by using linear fluorescent bulbs in valances or coves.

In areas with higher, vaulted ceilings (above 8 feet), consider using halogen track lights to highlight photographs and artwork in hallways and entry areas. Try a torchiere lamp to soften the appearance of walls and ceiling.

In hallways, try placing some fixtures high on walls, directing light downward. This will add drama and a feeling of spaciousness.
