Advice for hall and landing
Comments (26)Hi S, Wooden flooring would work beautifully here and can help to create a warm, welcoming feel. We stock a range of practical wood-effect tiles, such as our Andira range in the photo below. These give the look and feel of real wood but are much easier to clean and maintain in a busy family home. You can see the full range here: http://www.toppstiles.co.uk/section1427/page1/wood-effect-tiles...See MoreColour scheme for hallway and landing
Comments (6)I have Tranquil Dawn in my lounge, Mizzle in my hallway, landing and up the stairs and Cromarty in my small bedroom/office. They are all very similar. I had Cromarty and Mizzle mixed for me by Johnstones as they are Farrow & Ball colours and their paint is expensive. The colour match is very good. I had a tester pot of Tranquil Dawn in the Johnstones paint and it was nothing like so l ended up buying the Dulux brand. l do prefer Johnstones paint because it is hard wearing and you don’t get that dry line when touching up....See MoreWhich colour carpet on stairs and landings?

Comments (11)I think you’re right that Cromarty may be a bit dark for a dark stairway. I have it in my living room which although a North East facing room, there is a large window, so never feels dark. I made the mistake of painting my hall and stairs in Pigeon, but due to the lack of natural it looked grim. I had it repainted in Dulux Goose Down and I love it. Still a darkish area, but no longer grim! I do like the warmth of Nutmeg White....See Morebudgie4099

What a lovely space you have there! And I can see those mighty beasts are spoiled rotten! - they look so sweet...
The dining room - first thing that jumps at me is the TV - it's so high up! Unless there's a specific reason to have it up there, my suggestion is to find another place for it or (at least) lower it. You can mask the wires (just tidy them together and paint 'em in wall paint.
I can't see the whole room, but it feels like you can move the table about half a metre away from the French doors; even if the door opens outwards, it looks like the table blocks the way.
Personally, I'd have a large canvas or print on the wall with the TV. Move the metal leafs elsewhere (maybe on the wall with the wind chime) at the eye level (about 165cm from the floor to the middle of the ornament).
Art is very personal. I could recommend a few painting /prints, but my taste is probably very different than yours. I normally buy my prints from Tate (John Lewis sells Tate prints too) - they have a Turner exhibition at the moment and some great repos, if you like classics. http://shop.tate.org.uk/exhibitions/the-ey-exhibition-late-turner-painting-set-free/icat/lateturner
I prefer Patrick Heron - either this: http://shop.tate.org.uk/prints-by-artist/heron-the-long-table-with-fruit-custom-print/invt/pather028
or this: http://shop.tate.org.uk/prints-by-artist/heron-scarlet-lemon+ultramarine-custom-print/invt/pather003
could work in that space, as they are large horizontal paintings (you can customise the size of the painting - I'd go with the largest. Tate framing is a bit expensive, but you don't need to get the frames from them.
Or you could get some of those canvases in 3 pieces... maybe 2 winter trees:
http://www.rockettstgeorge.co.uk/wood-pictures--signs-276-c.asp ...as I said, art is personal, you have to choose. http://www.zazzle.co.uk/posters.
After you choose the art, buy some table runner in a colour that's predominant in the painting, also some candle holders could look nice.
Last suggestion: if you'd prefer something else, how about a couple of shelves with photos/ prints. Or more, arranged symmetrical (maybe with the TV in the middle!). Or some 'snake' shelving...

9 years agolast modified: 9 years agoRight, I'd treat that corner like a tropical sun room.
First thing, if you have to keep the folding table there, turn it around (on the door's wall), get a nice lamp, few books and small plant, you can use it as a kind of a sideboard.
In order to better define that space, I'd get a rug for there. I know it's not ideal, as you just come in, but maybe the dogs can be persuaded to sit on it rather than the floor. You can buy one of those indoor-outdoor rugs that are really easy to clean (leave them out in the rain :)) http://green-decore.com/blogs/indoor-outdoor-rugs or
http://www.rockettstgeorge.co.uk/namada-rug---outdoor--indoor-use---coral--blue-24171-p.asp
Furniture: wicker is good, some (non-scratch) leathers also (easy to clean). Configuration - it's up to you, but you could have anything, from a corner sofa to some easy chairs.
I'd move that plant in the corner by the French doors and get a big, lush one to replace it. http://www.houseplantsexpert.com/areca-palm.html
Those narrow picture shelves would also work on the wall above the radiator with different photos/ prints on it. http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/50152595/
Pretty hard to find photos that show what I envisage... I hope you've got the idea. I tried though, first pic even has the same floor :)).... Good luck!
