Color of rugs

Hook Rugs

There is often little furniture in a hall so the walls and floors are of even more than usual importance.

Color is your primary consideration and your major tool. It can be used in halls in its highest intensity because you don't spend enough time there to be made tired or restless by too much high chroma.

A fire engine red carpet might grow pretty wearisome in the living room but it's often just the right thing in a hall. So avoid drab characterless colors and, in the small dark hall especially, use light values on the walls, and, within the bounds of practicability, on the floor, to reflect what light you do have and make the room seem more spacious.
