The width of this corridor is 3 feet discounting the cabinets, or it's 3 feet in total, originally? - What use you can make with that shallow cabinet? »
CG&S Design-Build Think of it as a three foot opening for the door, and imagine that dimension at each point in the hall. So there is a little extra depth provided by the space above the cabinet, making the passage feel more open. As for what can be done with the shallow cabinet, all kinds of things! In this instance it is particularly useful for storing small art pieces that are displayed on the shelf. One may rotate the pieces from the cabinet below, and provide room for an ever-growing collection.

The lighting design in this hall is done perfectly, providing true gallery-like lighting.

I do not like this hallway that much. I don't like the colors. They do not go well with the white. The rug doesn't fit well in the setting. I would change everything around in this hallway. It looks more like a bathroom, rather than a hallway. It just looks a little uncomfortable.
