Panelled hallway and stairs
Comments (1)You should thoroughly clean it with a product like sugar soap and then prime it with an Easy Surface Primary And then you can paint as normal. Make sure you caulk in between all the joints to stop gaps showing. If there are knots in the wood you should treat them with knotting or a similar product to stop the knots seeping. Good luck with the painting....See MoreDark wood hallway ideas?
Comments (12)Hi we specialise in period detailing and panelling and staircases particularly in oak. I will attempt to give you some suggestions from our point of view. //Panelling// My first thought is to keep all of the panelling but to add a bit more style to it which could easily be achieved by adding a simple mouding around the panel as shown below, you can easily source mouldings from a local hardware shop. You could also add a Dado moulding and run it along the top rail of the panelling that goes up the staircase this would make the panelling look really nice. I would then prime and paint all of the panelling in a light colour to give the entrance a lighter feel. create a coat rack area in the porch with a small bench for taking of shoes and it would look like a really inviting entrance hall! //Staircase// Again I think the staircase would look really good painted or stripped and whitewashed like a scandinavian style pine floor, this would lighten the whole area. I really like it when staircases are painted except the handrail however It would need to be stained and polished to look like a contrasting dark hardwood. If you were thinking of installing a new traditional style staircase there would be a cheaper option which would be to clad the strings and posts and replace the hand rail and turnings for oak versions. However I personally would be painting it or whitewashing it and adding mouldings here and there if you need to. good luck!!

Comments (6)You could also wallpaper the panels? You could go 'wild' or more subdued and everything in between: https://www.wayfair.co.uk/home-decor/pdp/holden-imaginarium-10m-x-53cm-metallic-wallpaper-roll-blde1050.html?piid=51154482 https://www.wayfair.co.uk/home-decor/pdp/east-urban-home-tribal-10m-x-53cm-wallpaper-roll-hvo74542.html?piid=29438749...See MoreHallway/1930s staircase advice and ideas please!
Comments (6)Paneling up with side of the stairs would look great and can be done easily yourself if you like a bit of DIY? Here's some lad's explaining https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPjmXtAyc5M - a friend of mine did it and it looks great (and very expensive!) ... it might even be possible to do the spindles yourself too bit by bit? Give it a go - and worst comes to worst you can get someone to fix it - but I bet you manage youself just with a DIY book. ....one thing might be to have a bit of fun with a kelim up with stairs...I just found this website for inspiration: https://www.sophiecooney.co.uk/ - and why not add a coloured dado rail to the wall on the right side? Hope that's useful in some way if only for ideas!...See More- 7 years ago

Hi. You could consider darker colours for the panelling as below which gives a contemporary feel but it would be good to see pictures of your house. A contemporary alternative to panelling is two tone walls painted at what would have been dado height (I'd also paint the doors etc personally). You an use satinwood or eggshell on the lower half
- 7 years agoThat's an image, it's fairly basic but we will be renovating the entire house as we are having a two-story extension to the rear.
My idea of modern is fuss-free, clean lines but with traditional touches such as wooden flooring etc to create abit of warmth and homely feel.
I would be looking to panel the lower half and paint or paper the top half if panelling isn't seen as too old-fashioned for a fairly modern interior.
many thanks

- 7 years agocarpets defo going. I think something similar to the images below, really simple, clean and I think it well definitely help add character especially if we paint the top half which can look quite flat.
width of staircase is approx 0.9m

You can get a very cool, Scandi-style wood panel effect with mywoodwall. Mix and match colours to make something a bit special - and play around with shapes to see what you like:
