Hi Liz, sounds like you've got an exciting project on your hands. My two penneth, for what it's worth, is that hallways are often neglected or left til the end. Some people don't think they are worthy of spending too much money on. However, I disagree. When you first walk in the door, or you move from room to room, your hallway gets oodles of views and movement throughout the day. When people visit - their first impression to your house is in your hallway, so you should start as you mean to go on. So rather than paint over the wallpaper and make do, if it was me, I would bite the bullet and take off the old wallpaper and repaint the walls. Whilst doing it, pay attention to the lighting in the hallway and make improvements to increase the light. I can't comment on what needs to be added from the pictures, but you could consider recessed lighting up the stairs, better quality pendant lights, placing mirrors opposite windows to reflect the light back in. Or why not follow Abigail Aherne's lead and embrace the dark side. Make it cosy, comfortable and a little bit quirky! There's lots to consider, but ditch the paper!! Most importantly, enjoy the process and don't think of it as a chore. It's exciting and the adventure is only just beginning.

Hello Holly, First of all, it doesn't matter whether the place is done up or "Up market" as you said... Your house is your home! Budget is also not a problem for someone like me. I can create style with even modest bucks! Anyone can create style with lots of ££ and very often don't! The real skill is providing style with very little... First of all could I suggest removing the hearts.. Why not hook them on a door handle... You can then focus on the space of that wall... One thing you could do is find a lovely large mirror and hang that, Ebay and charity shops, antiques that sort of thing... I love a good find at a second hand store..... A mirror gives the eye a focus and reflects the hallway with an interesting "view" that pictures cannot provide... Or have a few smaller mirrors and an even larger one on the left wall at the top of the stairs.. (left standing on top stair) Or a large mirror on that first landing and a large canvas on that large wall at the top left.. Possibly buy a chest or something that can serve as storage.. for below the stairway there.. Then the stairs can be free from things.. You could have a little basket inside so you can fill it up before taking said things upstairs.. The crack is small but you can fill it.. and paint or remove the chipboard paper... Maybe worth looking outside the front door to that exterior wall to see if the cracks are visible there too... It is natural to have some movement and unless you can see more of these and bigger, I would not worry too much.. I like the cupboard, I would leave that as it's useful.. Also the banister rail is not at all bad looking... but if you wanted to make a change here and remove the two top panels to make it open and cut the plinth to look like the bottom stair.. That could be a gr8 idea.. So the top looks like the bottom portion of stairs with no banister but a small side panel.. This could greatly change the feeling here as it would feel open and spacious. A beautiful mirror could then really focus here... Perhaps consider a more modern colour for the walls and woodwork... and you don't really notice the paper... Personally I don't think the glass is necessary unless for safety issue (little nippers) and not so keen.. I'd have it open as it's a very small flight of stairs. Have a look at Little Greene for paint colours.. If the door is pvcu.. You could paint it with special pvcu paint.. You could do all the windows too... Lovely colours for doors are black, dark green, grey, Think of a theme you may want to introduce to the house.. Maybe various shades of a favourite colour and then work round the house... Woodwork does not need to remain white either.. You can go dark or lighter version of the wall colours... Or even a contrast.. So some ideas that don't involve a big spend... : )) http://www.kolorbond.co.uk/kolorbond-paint-plastic-pvc-upvc

Hello Anastasia, I hope you are well. I love the Cole and Son hicks hexagon too and it does look absolutely stunning on the wall. The quality is great too. Both designs will create a WOW and look fabulous and the hall is the place to do it. I am sure you have seen images of the cole and son on the wall too, but just in case https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=image+of+rooms+decorated+with+cole+and+son+geometric+wallpaper&espv=2&biw=1093&bih=494&tbm=isch&imgil=8LqsJQOcPudg5M%253A%253BwlC-0FV3Fxc_4M%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fblog.decoratorsbest.com%25252F2014%25252F04%25252F15%25252Fhow-to-incorporate-geometrics-into-every-room-of-your-home%25252F&source=iu&pf=m&fir=8LqsJQOcPudg5M%253A%252CwlC-0FV3Fxc_4M%252C_&dpr=1.25&usg=okQdK7Jo5A1VFQC8_dFO-7hFb1s%3D&ved=0CD0QyjdqFQoTCN2RpeG-4sgCFUu6GgodfmkBhQ&ei=PVgvVp3_Acv0av7ShagI#tbm=isch&tbs=rimg%3ACUFl7bjpaTieIjhXpxNgsMi79sglGLWntIgdhrNU2mUeh3BoK3NLI_1gDNMJEJCk-BXjpxGiOvfBIRTbCv9-FSWO63ioSCVenE2CwyLv2EZQrGxa4SLHpKhIJyCUYtae0iB0RMsoVXlZ677UqEgmGs1TaZR6HcBHb_1cdQJl0rQSoSCWgrc0sj-AM0EV6UvYKLKQJXKhIJwkQkKT4FeOkRSfNNvI6LJzoqEgnEaI698EhFNhEfbeYBDDIvSCoSCcK_134VJY7reEQnc8dWFW42Z&q=image%20of%20rooms%20decorated%20with%20cole%20and%20son%20geometric%20wallpaper&imgdii=c0Ed3CWKFAuTM%3A%3Bc0Ed3CWKFAuTM%3A%3BR9DSGwjh_uNiyM%3A&imgrc=c_0Ed3CWKFAuTM%3A I am a real believer in being brave and going for what you love in your home..... go with gut:-)

@Lomuarredi - there is nothing wrong at all with doing what you did. The person asked for advice and of course you would recommend furniture you sell that you think would work. That's how the Pro's can be helpful and what I'm sure, most people on here appreciate. It's the same with window advice I have been asking for - if the Pro's help then I have no issues with them saying 'ps we sell the windows if you do need a supplier' - after all, that's ultimately what I am trying to find. Nothing worse than someone suggesting something only to find you love it, but actually you can't find who makes it or it's only available in another country, haha. I think if someone posted a general decorating question about which wallpaper and you decided to tell them to swap out furniture instead and put yours in, then that would be more of a spammy post and I think that is what Ribena is probably referring to ;o) ie when it's completely irrelevant to the post.
