The long hallway that goes from the lounge up to the bathroom/bedrooms is really dark through the day - even though we have white wallpaper I leave bedroom doors open to lighten it up Any ideas to make it lighter?

A solar tube should do the trick

I have a similar situation . 15m hall many doors coming off it (house built to the sun & that's great) but i couldn't handle the darkish hall when I first moved here & I'd agree, solartubes are the way to go. I have had 2 installed in the hallway & they have made a world of difference. Even at night!

Agreed but are expensive. Keep wanting to turn the light off in our hallway

Put a sheet of Polycarbonate roof in and frame up a box underneath lined with aluminium foil down to a translucent panel above the hall.
Different approach - we just put a PIR detector light switch which activates a wall-washer light. Very easy in that case, as the wall lamp and switch were already there in a suitable position. Bonus - if you get up the in the middle of the night, no fumbling around looking for a light switch.

Velux are crap, I get so many calls for leaks in them it isn't funny. Sola tube all day here.
