We have a pretty modern house. We have a very boring hallway leading to the master. We painted a wall black leading up to our second floor and I’m thinking we should continue it to our hallway making it more intimate. We could the do photo walls with white frames.

My husband thinks it will be too dark. I think right now it is too blank even after we add photos. I took a panoramic photo of the main circulation hallway of our house and our master hallway that intersects it.

I also show inspiration photos of the black hallways. I’m looking for opinions.

The niche in the hallway is for a computer area. We bought a live edge walnut slab we will cut and fit in there.

Appreciate any feedback and suggestions that you might feel would be better.

I’m a graphic designer and he’s an architect so we are open to something different.
