Need advice for my hall & stairs! Please :)
Comments (21)A vertical column radiator would indeed be a good option, and I like the anthracite idea. Alternatively, if you could find a traditional tall victorian radiator (may not be easy to source) and finish it in a bronze/verdigris, it could work really well with your dark mint and would be a real statement! Your staircase is lovely, and I would go with a contemporary striped runner, white painted sides and a simple rod....See MorePOLL: Do you keep your hallway lights on at night?
Comments (9)I leave a lamp on permanently on my landing, yes I know it's bad for the planet not to mention my budget but that's what you get for living in a 250 year old house with too little natural light....See MoreNarrow hallway
Comments (37)we have a similar hallway, although there is bend between the front and back room and then a back extension kitchen; the front door faces north. We have been through several incarnations regarding light. starting outside, we have a porch light, which helps to light the hall at night (if we use the override switch). the colours are portland pale above dado, and their darker shade below. woodwork Portland Pale too (eggshell)I would recommend leaving the dado in , it breaks up the tall wall and I am always hitting the walls with shopping and stuff and it is easier to paint over anglypta and it doesn't show the scuffs. All the paint is matt or eggshell, including skirtings/dado, so nothing jumps out at you it all recedes. we have a long mirror on the front part wall and a squarer one of the back so we get bounced light. Mirrors match and come from habitat. The door at the end of the hall is small glass pannelled to get the south light coming to the front of the house. The lighting is recessed into the ceiling and supplemented with pendant. We had the attic done and had a dome put in the top floor which floods light down into the first and ground floor. BTW it has taken us 20 years or so of trial and error..................... top photo from front, bottom photo from centre to back of hall...See MoreNeed harmony for my hall.
Comments (5)Hi Soniamck, This looks like a fantastic space with lots of possibilities. Its not bad that they are all different but as you say, you need to find a way to comment them all and make them flow harmoniously so the space feel connected. Rather than think of it as one space. I would think of it like a journey. Keep each floor true to the design of that floor but connect them in shade or colour or colour family.. you could consider connecting the lighting so these flow either being the same again altering slightly to tell a story as you move up. I would be happy to come and do a free consultation on the space if you like. Its hard to tell from the photos exactly what is required or how the rooms flow as they are now. Please feel free to drop me a message or I can give you a call if you leave your number in a private message. All the best, Gina...See MoreMatthew Decorator
