Favourite Victorian-style tiles in Houzz hallways?

There are some beautiful entrances and hallways on Houzz. We've gathered a few of them here. Which one do you like the most (and would perhaps want to steal for your own entrance)?

London townhouse

Tulse Hill home

Castelnau House

Battersea family home

Hi Emmeline,

I have voted for 'London townhouse' purely because it a very uplifting and vibrant. I also really like the 'Battersea family home' entrance way too as it is really homely! I feel that is really does depend on what sort of look you are going for and what furniture you were hoping to place in the hall way though!

I voted for the Tulse Hill Home as my flooring in my end-terrace Victorian house is near enough the same. Although it is buried under a mess of plaster at the moment, following three days of plasterwork and a lot of renovation currently going on!

Tiling outside porch area and hallway with same tiles - weird?
Q

Our hallway is total 7sqm then the outside path is max 2 sqm. It is just very expensive (£2 - 450 per sqm) even with my very talented husband doing the tiling. We are looking at a company that supplies the mosaic tiles loose but affixed to a sticky sheet so it's faster to install but still authentic individual tiles. I am tempted to use the nicer more expensive tiles inside and then use a cheaper black and white chequer board pattern outside. However like you I want things to match. So far I have done nothing because the cost is so high and I want it to look right. We are also doing a big renovation so my budget for the hall is being squeezed.

Victorian hallway - to paint or not to paint?

I had exactly the same dilemma - neighbours told us how long the previous owner had spent stripping all the wood, and in the end we lived with it for about 10 years! It eventually got to me last summer as I was lusting after lovely white painted stairs with a nice runner. I bought the paint and then bottled it!!! I ended up with a slight compromise - I painted the wood stringers (just googled that, so hoping it’s the right term!) white. I also painted the skirting and the walls white along with other bits of wood that we seemed to have exposed at the top between the ceiling and the floor of the next level. I also ditched the idea of painted stairs (because a friend pointed out that the cleaning requirements were perhaps higher than I could maintain!!) and we went with a grey striped full width carpet. I also painted just one short wall in the hall a navy blue as it was left over from another project. A year on and the hallway still makes me smile - and we still have the wood, although it seems less domineering now. I’ll try and attach a photo - it’s not a brilliant one because it was taken at night - however in the day time it’s much brighter!

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!

Colourhappy, I was thinking the same as I’ve no concept of how light the space could be if I maximise the light. ED I have the one of the photos in your idea book in mine, below (looks like all white walls with the blue and white tiled floor). I’ve also added a couple of similar examples but with darker terracotta tiles similar to mine. They all seem to have gone with all white or white and very light grey. Perhaps that’s my safest route, but as Colourhappy says if I start with white I can go from there. One thing I did read is that in spaces with little natural light, whites can take on a full grimy appearance rather than opening up the area https://www.houzz.co.uk/magazine/8-hallway-colours-that-arent-white-or-grey-stsetivw-vs~123918666 Also can anyone recommend a light grey with a hint of green (not a yellow green but more a warmer more earthy tone) as I think that would compliment the terracotta and other colours in the floor. Thanks everyone for your input! T. Gray - I had to check the F&B website for Old White as I was expecting something more white, but actually it could be just the job. F&B seems to be the go to paint brand with people on here. Is it worth the extra money? All the internal doors are the original pine doors, although the interior entrance door glass isn’t original and I plan to replace it with something more sympathetic, and to my taste, from a local stained glass specialist. I read that Victorian doors were generally intended to be painted. Clearly mine are not and I’m not sure whether to do so - not easy to undo!

I love these tiled floors. I'm planning to add a small section of these traditional tiles within the outer and inner porch in our new build as a tribute to the style.

I really love the contemporary colours of the Trinity Road floor, especially in such a traditional pattern.
