Comments (23)Hi Liz, sounds like you've got an exciting project on your hands. My two penneth, for what it's worth, is that hallways are often neglected or left til the end. Some people don't think they are worthy of spending too much money on. However, I disagree. When you first walk in the door, or you move from room to room, your hallway gets oodles of views and movement throughout the day. When people visit - their first impression to your house is in your hallway, so you should start as you mean to go on. So rather than paint over the wallpaper and make do, if it was me, I would bite the bullet and take off the old wallpaper and repaint the walls. Whilst doing it, pay attention to the lighting in the hallway and make improvements to increase the light. I can't comment on what needs to be added from the pictures, but you could consider recessed lighting up the stairs, better quality pendant lights, placing mirrors opposite windows to reflect the light back in. Or why not follow Abigail Aherne's lead and embrace the dark side. Make it cosy, comfortable and a little bit quirky! There's lots to consider, but ditch the paper!! Most importantly, enjoy the process and don't think of it as a chore. It's exciting and the adventure is only just beginning....See Morewallpaper dilemma
Comments (28)Another idea. Bold. Wallpaper on nearly every wall. Start with a fresh offwhite ceiling and a band under the beams to create the sense of height. Then a thin slath in gold. Paper, height depending on the pattern. Again gold trim. Bottom part any classic green you'd like. And on the window wall and chimney breast a pale pink instead of the paper....See MoreWallpaper/paint choice for large living room (& other dilemmas)
Comments (24)Thanks Minnie, I will look for a couple of darker accessories to bring the room together. We loved the grape wallpaper and had it until recently, as we fancied a change. We haven't had the grey wallpaper long unfortunately, but it just doesn't look right so decided to have a redo. (This is the only chance I've got though so anxious to get it right!) We are upgrading to a bigger TV, but it's still in the box at the moment! Hopefully the electrician who will hang it on the wall will be able to fit us in this week or next, and then I can decide what to put above the sideboard and piano. I know the TV will be wider than the TV cabinet but unfortunately we can't change any of the furniture. I'm hoping to find a way to make it look more balanced maybe by placing something on either side of the TV cabinet like plants and/or lanterns. Here's another photo of the wallpapers up on the wall - I'm maybe leaning towards the left one, as I like the textured look - might be longer lived than the patterns? I'm not sure....See More
PROMAKING THE WORLD BEAUTIFUL
6 years agoHello,
Our suggestion would be to choose a bit more neutral colours for walls. Light and soft pastel wall colours create an image of cosiness and freshness as well as adds some more visual space for the room.
As for matching colours to the sofa, we suggest you choosing accessories of the same colour as the sofa (such as curtains, rug, shelves, table and so on). It would contrast with the pastel colours on the walls and give more character for the whole room. Also, it would be very easy to combine lime colour accessories with natural green colours from the indoor plants if you like them. This way you make a very playful and tasty combination of green softness.
Good luck with your design ideas!
