For finishing the hallway, you can use different materials. When choosing colors it is necessary to take into account the fact that the entrance hall is devoid of a source of natural light.

3. Indoor plants that do not need sunlight.
4. Picturesque landscapes, reproductions of paintings by great artists, black and white photographs of modern photographers, abstractions, family photos.
