What do you call your downstairs corridor

[Kyvia]

What do you call the corridor downstairs in your house as you come in and the rooms come off it?

And how would you refer differently if you wanted to refer to the whole space that was that corridor and the stairs & upstairs landing above it?

Am managing insomnia by setting up my new smart lightbulbs and need different names for just the downstairs (hallway?) light and the whole space (hall?) including the landing above as well! If names are too similar then Computer gets pedantic with you...I’ve already named our bedside lights ‘Port’ and ‘Starboard’

I came on to say vagina

I have hall and landing for the separate names for my bulbs and then just stairs for the collective.

I've got a motion sensor halfway up the stairs that controls both areas.

What happens if there's no wifi?

Mark my words.

Waste of space?
Foyer?
Draughty?
Good for storing crap?

The one we come into from the front door is the hall. The passageway off that (L-shaped arrangement) is quite narrow and we call it the downstairs hallway (insofar as we call it anything, which we don’t really.

Phillips Hue talk are linked to their hub not the wifi directly so nothing changes other than not being able to control them away from home if the wifi is down.

If the hub stops working for any reason then they work like normal light bulbs.

I’ve named some of ours upstairs 1, 2 etc because I couldn’t be bothered thinking of better names but I’ll need to sort it all out at some point.

5yo DS always says please and thank you to Alexa, asks her each morning how she is and says goodnight to her each evening. I think he's hedging his bets so that when the robot uprising comes he will be spared.

We call then hallway downstairs, then stairs, then landing upstairs.

I don't really have a name for them collectively. Communal space sounds too long, so maybe passageways or walkways.

I would probably come up with something that you want to say that sounds fun. As long as you know what 'the bridge' is, does it matter if that means the thoroughfares of the house.

Me too with the euphemism, was going to describe my Christmas tree with twinkly lights but . ..
