Choosing finishes for a white hallway

The first step in choosing a design for a new hallway will be to find suitable finishes for the walls, floor and ceiling. Since the white hallway will still get dirty, this is inevitable and clear as day, it is important to choose materials that can be cleaned fairly easily.
