The deep blue painted walls in the bedroom corridors create a little drama in an otherwise ordinary narrow hallway.  A custom designed runner and ceiling light fixture trimmed in navy linen help make the hallway to the office special. The upper sheer section of a floor to ceiling drapery gives a view through to the window while the lining of the lower section hides the exercise equipment in a nook at the window in the office.
