Victorian Hallway with Green Botanical Wallpaper

Patterned wallpaper gives a long, plain hallway the presence of a proper room, and a large Victorian hall can carry a big, dark botanical print. Keep the pattern above the rail and the woodwork dark so the green feels rich rather than heavy. Plug-in brass sconces at about 66 inches add evening glow without rewiring, and a lamp on the hall table creates a second layer of light. Repeat one color from the paper in the runner to connect floor and walls. If the full hall feels like too much commitment, paper only the longest wall and paint the rest to match the background.
