Hallway

Have a Narrow short hallway- has 7 solid pine varnished doors off it, has oak flooring, white ceiling, a dado rail that is placed halfway up the wall that is currently varnished.

Should I paint the dado rail in a cream/white gloss to brighten it up?

I do not want to paint the doors I am thinking of painting the door surrounds in a cream/ white paint to brighten it up to match the dado rail.

I think I will paint the ceiling white again and and use a warm beige on the wall.

Should I wallpaper the lower section of the wall below the dado rail?

There is not much natural light in the hallway.
