What do you have in your hallway?

Oh - those hallways are better finished and decorated than some of the rooms we live in Here goes - floor is flag-stone tiles, set in a diagonal pattern. Lovely to look at - nightmare to clean. Half-painted, half timber panelled walls. A small pillar on which hangs all our holy objects - from holy water font ( Vatican), hand-made St Brigid's cross (school), stained class crucifix (Lourdes), Holy Family brass ornament (Knock), Hannukkah menorah (from north London). A beautiful hand-crafted coat rack, designed and made by my 16yr old for Woodwork exam. Here hangs that one-size-fits-all anorak that ended up in the back of the car some years ago and has never been reclaimed. Everyone can use it so no excuse about getting wet or cold when asked to go out to car or out to bin or bring in/put out cat dishes. A myriad of sets of keys that only each owner knows what they are for. Various school-bags, lunch boxes, kit-bags, boots, helmets, hurley sticks, badminton rackets, wellies, hob-nail boots take up temporary residence in the hall until the house-fairy offers to put them away for their owners ie throw them outside the front door where she can't trip over them (amazing how quickly the owners find a proper home for their goods under the threat of a night outside!) A second-hand side board that currently houses family photographs and trophies etc on top and a motley mix of household bills, badminton subscriptions and accounts, Greeting cards and writing paper and other stationery (no biros tho!) a drawer full of hats, caps, scarves, gloves, hi-vis jackets and dog leads. A lovely print of my home county which has 1920 b+w postcards of my town mounted around it. Then there is the oil PAINTING. It is a version of 3 Spirited Horses in a Storm. It is 6ft wide, 3ft high. Has a distinctive lack of colour - brown, cream + khaki - dust colours. OH dug it out of a skip in London in 1988 + delightedly rushed home to hang it in our abode. Except we lived in a 1-bed flat and didn't have any straight wall long enough to hang it on! Undeterred he hung it on the stair-wall. So no option but to look at it. It has followed us ever since and I am heartedly sick of the sight of it. Cannot get him to part with it. How I wish it could get damaged somehow .... Any suggestions ....?

Hi csg1 - I'm in nearly the same position. First house I own, Victorian Terrace and I'm looking for prints / art to stick on the wall. There's nothing wrong with Ikea or other large retailers but a lot of their stuff is a bit obvious for me (of course it's designed to appeal to a wide audience) and reminds me a bit to much of furnished rental homes. As Lampert Dias says it does depend on where you are - I'd check out what artists you have locally (through galleries or open studio events) but try to see if you can buy from them direct. Artists like Julia Dumbarton that I like often produce their own prints and frame them for you - they're not a lot more expensive than the big retailers. If you're in the UK then you can also check out the National Galleries and Societies, many of them have their own cutom print facilities. Tate Galleries, The National Portrait Gallery, Royal Society (scientific prints from them are great of birds, plants, butterflys etc.) or the prints from national collections of photography, science and society. Then the other day I found the Saatchi Art website which has new artist collections. The originals are mostly way out of my price range but a lot of them also produce framed prints. Haven't bought anything off them yet but it seems a really good source of more unique / unknown / contemporary work. Just remember to if the cost of framing is included - that'll add £50 to a lot of prints.

Hi, I love Grey as a base colour, it will go with so many others! Grey is a cool colour, so you are often better off with feature colours being warm, such as Raspberry's and Greens for a more traditional homely feel, or even Oranges and Turquoises for a modern twist. The thing about the Tartan ( and I added some to my lounge last year, is that, less is more! When you get bored with the tartan cushions, just change them for something else. If your bases are neutral, it's very easy to change to look just by buying different cushion covers! Always go for plain, but lush curtains as they're an expensive item and you don't want to change those too often, so again go neutral. Feature walls are great for adding a splash of colour, and it's easy and cheap to change when you want a different look. Here are some ideas i've pulled together for you. Good luck with your project, Nicky x
