Would love to have a dramatic hall although it is quite small. We are having the floor tiles restored - what colours can we paint the walls, door skirting boards and what about stair carpet just seen in this photo
natural beige but doesn't look right.

Comments (2)I really like the victorian style tiles and I don't think it clashes with the runner as the colours are all fairly neutral. My eyes are drawn to the tiles, the carpet is a very good match to the wall colour and the stripe is subtle so I think you need the drama of the tiles to give the wow factor....See MoreCarpet or floorboards in hallway
Comments (5)I would never carpet a hall. Bedrooms yes as it’s cosy and living room too. You could have a wooden floor laid over your wooden one in the hall, and the living room too if you wish and it can be lifted if necessary, something like engineered wood or even a laminate. I have laminate in my living room and it is so easy to look after and pretty hardwearing and it was laid over the tatty original floorboards. First picture is laminate and second is engineered wood....See MoreNeed advice, have these tiles been laid well?
Comments (7)I agree: this is not a great job. On a flat surface you would reasonably expect the tiles to be laid square and true and therefore grout lines to be the same width everywhere. Furthermore, you would expect the job to be planned in such a way that there are no cut tiles within the body of the tiling, and the tiles are ‘phased’ to minimise cuts towards the corners of the black tiles. Here you have cut tiles, both red and black, in unexpected and unnecessary places. Finally, dependant on how long the job has been completed, I’m surprised to see a residue of grout on the tiles. This would normally be polished off soon after the grouting is done and, if your tiles are terracotta (which is porous) they are generally sealed before the grouting is applied....See More

Could you use the charcoal colour for the carpet? or maybe even a neutral coloured carpet with a dark border?

6 years agoHad to comment on tiles as very similar to ours in a couple of the pics-we went for plain stair carpet but had an inner hallway where we added more patterned tiles but I quite like the clash.
