How can I make my long narrow hallway appear wider?

remove furniture if any - place mirrors as flat as you can against the wall at several intervals... and LIGHT! lots of light - skylights or small lamps (sconces?)...

mirrors, putting flooring so it accents the width, horizontal stripes on the wall , wainscoting, or shiplap, stronger lighting, bright paint,

You are the second suggestion of mirrors of which I would never have thought of. Will begin to look for mirrors. Thanks a lot.

one of the others suggested flooring change - striped flooring (even hardwood) from side to side rather than running length-wise (am I making sense?) if you cannot afford new floor - maybe rugs with a "horizontal" design?

wouldn't horizontal stripes elongate the hall?? I would suggest "Nude" walls in a light shade... stripes VERTICALLY (floor to ceiling) might make it seem taller...? Try small areas or put up some samples to see what works!

I find the idea of mirrors gaining space, and amazing idea. I am definitely going to work on that. I am on the look out for unique mirrors. The walls are a very light green with white doors and door facings, which helps. Thank you for your help.

I filled my entire hallway, floor to ceiling, including areas over and between doorways where possible, with various mirrors in gold frames, interspersed with a few words (Behold, Look, See, from wooden letters spray painted gold) and gold medallions. I probably didn't spend more than $100 dollars on mirrors, I found some at yard sales, some at discount stores, some were curb finds. Anything that was yucky was "gilded" with spray paint. Blank spots were filled in with flat items that could be painted gold... a plaster moon plaque, a round plaster silhouette, etc) I was careful to make sure that none were hung at "traditional" heights, in other words, when you walk down the hall, you can only see portions of your reflection, as the larger mirrors were hung just above the floor, getting smaller as they went up the wall. This drives my sister crazy because I have all these mirrors an no clear view of myself, but I think it looks a lot more interesting that way. I get a lot of compliments, and a couple of copy cats. If I knew how to upload from my phone, I would include some photos.

Can you place a table with a mirror over it to draw you in or do you have a door there? I would go crazy with a bunch of mirrors reminds me of carnival fun mirrors creepy, but that's just me. I would think that you would want overhead light since sconces take up space aND you walk trying to avoid hitting them seems uncomfortable. Overhead lights would give more light to that area and you don't notice them. I think adding anything on walls such as baton board 2/3rd up with wide planks would add interest anything lower than I level really doesn't trick the eye.

Hummmm, lots to think about. Thanks for your input.
