One of the projects we’re focusing on this year (as outlined in this post) is the hallways. Often forgotten about, and yet, passed through all. the. time. We have two significant hallways (upstairs and downstair) we want to make some intentional design decisions about and I always gather inspiration first.
The thing I realized makes a hallway for me? Lighting. (With some beams as a close second, although not really possible in our hallways since one side of the hall ceiling extends into neighboring spaces ). A lot of these inspiration photos have a semi-flush mount or pendant light, if you have taller ceilings, but a flush mount in place of a can like can add equal character. In addition to sharing some inspo, we rounded up 40 OF OUR favorite ceiling lights we’re crushing on right now, ranging in price from $11 to $500 below.
Hallway Inspiration
1. How does this hallway have so much going on and yet feels so minimal? The paneled ceiling + beams + 4 pendants + barn doors + art. My thoughts? There’s a tight color scheme throughout. The white planked ceiling eases into the white walls. The beams correspond with the floor and even the pendants glass and black are echoed in the doors. Such a cohesive hallway!
2. This is uber traditional and a lot more grand but I still pulled so much from this. Sometimes if I have something great, like all the most beautiful trim in the world, I feel like it should be highlighted. But the restraint here is shown in the calm color palette.
3. This hall has always been a show stopper because is there anything more lovely than walking down a hallway of perfectly framed family photos?
4. These lights slay me. The warmth in this hallway (and the peek into the neighboring rooms) is so welcoming and those glow-y pendants absolutely add to the ambiance. Can you imagine what this hallway would be with can lights instead? Kind of meh, right?!
5. Not my style, per se, but such a great use of texture here! These lights added so much warmth.

6. I think this hallway proves that sometimes more is more is more is more.
7. I had to throw in my favorite flush mount example. It’s simple and striking!
8. There’s a lot to unpack here, and I still have some questions like,how tall ARE the ceilings where the pendants hang down,but my biggest takeaway is to allow lighting exude your personality. Have fun with it.
9. Generally, hallway lights light up an entire area but this example was so unique because it used pendants that only cast light down. I think it works!
I actually rounded up ALL of these lights as we were trying to decide for our home and I STILL can’t decide. There are so many great ones. … I just tried to look at them and decide again and nope! I love so many. #2 is such a steal. #11 is incredible. #34 feels classic! I hope to make a decision this week–which one is your favorite from below.
