Wall art for your hallway
A hallway is the first wall people see and the one you pass most. It is often narrow and dim, so it needs different choices from a living room.

Seen in passing
You see hallway art for a few seconds at a time, often from an angle. Clear shapes and a strong silhouette read better than fine detail: a mid-century composition, a single botanical, an animal, a still life.
With no furniture below it, hang the centre of the print about 145 to 150 cm from the floor, which is roughly eye level.
Narrow and dim
In a narrow hall a slim aluminium frame sits closer to the wall and catches less as you pass. Halls are often dim, so a print on a pale ground lifts the space more than a dark one.
