we are just in the process of extending and fitting a new kitchen. it's a greeny duck egg colour, with a whole wall in a tree wallpaper. the flooring will run throughout the whole downstairs. it is a white oak colour.
we will need to decorate the hallway at some point and am looking for inspiration! I am thinking a soft grey...I would love a striped stair runner but how much would I expect to pay for this? also, if I do have one, do I stick to stairs only or include upstairs landings too?
any advice/input would be greatly appreciated

8 years agomeant to say units in kitchen will all be white.
this is the upstairs hallway (old and new) unsure whether to use stripey carpet on landings or a plain greyish-thinking of a grey for the bedrooms

So...Having moved them out of a kitchen cupboard to the hall... My dilemma is how can I box them in too compliment my hall table? Or... Where else can I move them to without causing grief to the 'man' LOL.......See MoreHallway ideas please!
Comments (12)Hi Angela. It all looks a bit dark and gloomy at the moment but you have got some nice features, slate floor, bannisters to work with. I’m sure your husband would be most pissed off if you asked him to remove the dado he has just put up, there is nothing wrong with dado rails, they are traditional. So painting the woodwork white. I would start with skirting, door architraves, front door and dado as it is visually splitting the room in two. Choose different colours for below and above dado, darker below and lighter above, someone suggested choosing colours from the slate which seems an excellent idea. Definitely replace carpet on stairs to neutral sisal or similar. If budget allows replace the hall door for something simpler and less busy (like kitchen door maybe). You may get away with not painting balusters if you make the other changes you would have to judge once the walls are done and carpet samples to hand. A narrow console or radiator cover with mirror above would bounce light around too. Best of luck!!...See MoreDark, cottage hallway ideas!
Comments (20)I remember when the modern WM collection came out and thought they were stunning. I can't really see upstairs walls properly as to suitability for wallpaper but the one to the left of the stairs on the ground floor would look great. You could consider applying decorators varnish (polyvine) over the top to protect the paper from getting dirty? Test a piece first though. Also choose a scrubbable paint for the other walls, something like Little Greene intelligent eggshell is great (although the slight sheen will show up any plaster Imperfections but it will also bounce a little light). I like the rugs although do see Sonia's point re the ground floor one 😂 Great idea for books/display. Just thinking as you're decorating anyway you could install downlights and keep the pendants rather than run other lights off it? I'm not a huge downlights fan but they do serve a purpose! Maybe run them off a separate switch to the pendants?...See MoreVictorian terrace hallway ideas
Comments (7)absolutely Loving these ideas! Thanks so much. i did wonder if our stairs may be too narrow for a runner but then I’ve seen lots of similar stairs with a runner and seems to work well (albeit they are in pictures only). Do you think a whipped edge rather than taping will help it look less narrow? Thanks!...See More

8 years agoHi. As you've chosen a herringbone pattern floor I must admit I would go for a plain runner with border.
You could look at something like a jute or coir and carry it onto the landing. I would go for the light grey'ish tones in your wood (sorry appreciate I haven't pictured a grey runner..)

8 years agoHi this is my stairs, been really happy with this, the colours are a mix of Browns, greys, blues and greens so could suit your colour scheme. It's not too 'in your face' as the stripes are very fine and I think would work with your flooring which I think is quite subtle anyway.
It's by Manx Carpets, coastline in punch & judy colour way. I think it was £30 a sq metre, so less than half the price of crucial carpets (designer at Manx used to work for crucial apparently. http://www.manxcarpets.co.uk/product/coastline/
