Dark 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 (17)Beyond impressed, well done. It does look beautiful, congrats. If i were you with regards the runner, just take a tile off cut with the grey / beige colour on it that you want to match to. I think there's a kind of digestive biscuit colour in there also ( bit more practical for stairs.) I did that for my house and trust me I think i'm know as the 'picky colour queen' round here. you'll get it right. One will just grab you and you'll know it when you see it. Check out this one, I know it has a little fleck in it, but on stairs and landings being high traffic areas, you might be grateful, as totally plain will show up every bit of fluff!

Comments (9)Not a bad shout for tiles in the porch as it will have the most traffic, and wooden flooring in the hallway. Underfloor heating would be the only way to keep tiles warm for extended periods of time, if you do not have this then wooden flooring would be an excellent choice. It is a natural conductor of heat and will also hold the warmth a lot longer than tiles. Here are some examples we think may interest you depending on colour and style choice.

Comments (17)Hi Becks, What a tricky space! I'm not too sure about industrial rubber...depends on the look you're going for? The house looks older to me, so I'm not sure this material would sit well with the house...especially as this is your main hallway/entrance...these sorts of things set up how people expect the rest of the house to unfold. I can understand you wanting to reuse the original floorboards, however, I think effectively splitting this hallway in half with two different flooring treatments would just be strange to your eye. This may be a case of having to let go of the floorboards for the overall, bigger picture and choosing something you are happy with for the entire length of the hallway. You could use a wool or sisal as others have suggested on the stairs, either works well. And you're right, if you have a slightly wonky room, anything that has lines in it (wood boards, tiling) will highlight this...but if your house is older, sometimes it these "quirks" that add charm and interest. Flagstones should be sealed because they are stone and therefore porous...any stains will stay put if you don't regularly (every couple of years) seal the floor. But some people call staining "patina"...all depends on your outlook on these things! Hope that helps and good luck!...See Moreadrianlowery
