Ideas to improve hallway?
Comments (16)I love the space, you could make it something wonderful! Keep the stair carpet and lose the curtain and also the wallpaper. I wouldn't personally add more wallpaper. A bright colour on at least one wall would look great ... something fun like a lime green or orange!? as well as or instead of ... some big colourful canvases would look fabulous ... or get someone to paint a mural. Lots of artists around that would love to help. You could just make it a gallery wall with a variety of pieces over time. Keep to softer edges, ... even the picture of the flower has quite hard edges. Have a look at this article and how most of the artwork adds movement ... https://www.houzz.co.uk/magazine/styling-how-to-choose-and-display-art-stsetivw-vs~31581051 Another option to the curtain and also very affordable is using something much lighter such as muslin or organza ... something to let the light through. Again you could use something with a bit of splash ... you can get two tone organza fabric that changes in the light. I am not one for trends, as suggested above choose things you like. I also like a bit of fun so consider having some fun with it, and it can still be elegant....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)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 MoreI have a long, very narrow hallway which is dark. Any ideas please?
Comments (5)There are a few things you can do. 1. Create a focal point, a simple way of doing this is using paint on one end of the corridor and the ceiling. 2. Lighten the space with a more reflective paint colour and Increase the lighting in the space with a mix of pendant lights and wall lights 3. Add a mirror to reflect natural light into the space. 4. Embrase the darkness with some rich dark tones. These images are not my own and have been taken from pinterest for illustration purposes....See Morekikiamack
