A while ago I posted pics of my tired hall, stairs and landing with 15 y
ear old old Anaglypta wallpaper (painted over several times!) and a faded red (i.e. pink) worn out carpet . Houzz helped me to find a few new ideas for a fresher look. Here are some before and after photos.

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 MorePaint colour suggestions for hallway, stairs and landing
Comments (28)Hiya, we have a Victorian hallway and it is done very similar to Rukmini’s first image. We have a greeny grey under the dado (including the skirting and dado itself) and on the doors and architraves. It’s Blanket by Paint & Paper library which is a little darker than Rukmini’s pic. Then an off white above the dado and on the ceiling. It used to be off white all over and the grey definitely has made it darker. On the other hand it also feels smarter and shows the marks less! Swings and roundabouts. I wouldn’t have three colours, I would pick one colour plus off white above the dado/picture rail (Pointing seems sensible!!) Your tiles look browny grey so would suggest looking at Ammonite by F&B and its family of colours - (Cornforth White, Purbeck Stone). See below for the F&B families of greys. If you want bluey or greeny greys then Paint & Paper Library are a good source but be careful to see if they will go with your tiles....See MoreHall, stairs and landing dilemma
Comments (46)Haha! No I forgot! But I let everyone choose a couple of things, including a ballerina, Eminem, some other rapper I don't recognise, the Beagle 2 Mars lander, an eighteenth century astronomer, Durham Cathedral, Groucho and Karl Marx, the Rocinante space ship from The Expanse, a famous (apparently) meme, and an x box controller!...See MoreHall, stairs and landing decor
Comments (7)If you will be keeping the Oak doors then i wouldn’t paint the architrave and skirting in white. I would leave them in the Oak finish. It’s easier maintenance and then you will end up going through the rest of the house doing the same creating yourself more work. Take a look a Cromarty. It’s a Farrow & Ball colour but you can match it from other cheaper suppliers such as Johnstones. It’s a lovely light green that’s not overpowering and looks lovely contrasting against Oak woodwork. Regarding a shoe box I’d be a bit cautious of taking up space near to the bottom of the stairs. I always worry about anyone slipping down stairs and falling into it....See More
