Well, one rule is that a wall with a window in it is often the darkest wall (if one of four walls). This might make you want to paint the window wall(s) lighter? (Depending on window size.) Also, you need to identify which walls you want to grab people's attention. These would presumably be the natural focal points at each end? You might want to paint the shorter(?) opposite walls, i.e. the one at the dining end and the one at the living room end, in bold eye-catching colours? Then perhaps use expansive and more 'neutral' light colours on the remaining longer (?) walls. However, it's very hard to visualise without the layout or pics... My ideas / suggestions may not relate at all to the layout or light sources! Good luck!

How many doors will be off the hall as it may be a little too much oak but will you use a runner/rug? I'm sure the laminate will look just as good! What sort of slate effect were you looking at? Some of the light or honey toned ones would look good but I think the darker grey could look a little cold. I haven't found natural stone an issue in the past, just make sure whatever cleaning fluid you use doesn't have acid in. Or have a look at limestone effect? I only suggest limestone as the honey should work with the wood and the grey will work will the carpet but you can also get similar slate effect. My search has only yielded these so far! http://www.alistairmackintosh-porcelain.co.uk/sahara-natural-stone-porcelain-tiles.html I also spotted an encaustic style tile in your Ideabook, is it worth looking at these?
