The hall is the first impression people get of your house when opening the front door. It gives an immediate statement of your taste and style and suggests what the rest of your home may be like. But getting it right can be hard which is where Leslie Geddes-Brown's book, "Hallways, Corridors and Staircases" steps in. Not just an entrance, hallways are the path to all other parts of the house, corridors and staircases taking you to different levels and rooms, linking the whole. From contemporary to rustic, Leslie Geddes-Brown discusses twenty real-life homes and explains how the owners and designers planned and utilised the spaces, giving ideas and inspiration for all property types from lofts and Victorian semis to rural cottages and suburban brownstones. All aspects are covered to ensure the book's suitability to the general reader, offering storage ideas, lighting inspiration and colour schemes, to make the most of what can be just a dark, cramped space. So don't ignore the hall just because you don't spend time in it - this book shows how you can transform it into a comfy, welcoming extra "room". - Lucy Watson
