This four-storey hallway was conceived as a moment of joy within the home - a space designed to lift the mood rather than simply connect rooms. Drawing on sun-washed Californian references, a soft palette of lilac, peach and pink is used with confidence and restraint, wrapping the stairwell in colour from top to bottom. The effect is playful yet considered, allowing light and movement to animate the space as it unfolds. More than a passageway, the hallway becomes an experience - optimistic, energising and quietly transformative.
