Colours for a hall with black and white floor?
We are very pleased with the look of our new kitchen - Ikea 'Veddinge' grey units, whitish surfaces, and black and white floor tiles. The tiles run right through to the hall and entrance. The tiny hall has no natural light and we propose part-glazed doors to bring light through from the front door and kitchen. But the colours in the hall need a re-think.
I like the idea of pale wood doors - light oak, modern panel style maybe. This is open for discussion, as are: the hall walls (creamy off-white), the woodwork (cream), and maybe the stair carpet (beige, difficult to change) - none of these go well with the floor.
I think that the key may be the choice of colour for skirting and door frame, but any suggestions for a style at the 'cool and clean' end would be very welcome, please.

Incorporating colour into hallway
Comments (11)If this is an old house, you may find you have banisters under the flat panelling down the side of the stairs, that could open it up and stop it from looking so much solid white. I like what you've done and your front door area is welcoming. I like the idea of painting the hand rail and I think black is the best option and just make sure you have some gorgeous fresh flowers near the front door area : ) Personally I wouldn't too much though, I think it is lovely!...See Moreblack and white check floor what stair carpet should I get?

Comments (18)Hello ummimez2, That is such a lovely floor! Black and white floors are a classic. For this space we consider you can't go wrong with keeping it white and black: or you can add some other neutrals to make it a little bit softer: or if you want to go bold and make a statement, teal is a great colour to match. Hope this helps!...See MoreTerrace house hallway. Using Dulux Absolute White plus Atoll colour?
Comments (65)I have these in a couple of the bedrooms to hang bathrobes and such on. They come in black or in white (which I would do on the White door). I love them and think you could probably do two on the door at slightly different heights. Removing the handle and painting the door white, gloss or semi-gloss, whatever you prefer and use in the rest of the home on the woodwork is a good idea. http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/small-storage-organisers/hooks-hangers/tjusig-hanger-black-art-80291707/...See More

7 years agoFab new kitchen!
I think I would stick with the Achromatic scheme rather than bringing in warm neutrals like creams or browns. Although they can work sometimes it is much harder and complicated to get right.
I would go for glazed doors and they look fab, let light in and will work with that scheme and design. Chrome handles will tie in with the kitchen door furniture too. For the doors themselves I would go either black and all walls and woodwork white or the doors and woodwork white and a subtle grey on the walls for a little contrast.
I would do one of the walls in the kitchen in a chalkboard paint which will really work well with the design and add further impact to the space. I hope that helps and that you love your hallway as much as your kitchen eventually :)
All the best. Ill try and attach some images to demonstrate some of my points.
