hallway ideas please.
Comments (4)Hello Ummimez2, When we have found turquiose or teal too dark or bold (or cliche), we have often paired a lighter blue with black and white features. We believe a shade such as Sky blue (https://www.littlegreene.com/paint/colour/blue-paint/sky-blue) or Regency blue (https://www.littlegreene.com/paint/colour/blue-paint/rege1) could help create a bright space with subtle reflection of the sea, and complement your wall and floor tiles yet not distract from your beautiful floor design. Hope this helps a little, and all the best with your project! (When you find the colour that best suits your home, could you post an update of your finished space? We would love to see your tiles again!) Best, The Rocke team at Cotterell and Co...See MoreTidy hallway ideas needed for small space. Coats, shoes & bags

Comments (12)Hi Angela. It all looks a bit dark and gloomy at the moment but you have got some nice features, slate floor, bannisters to work with. I’m sure your husband would be most pissed off if you asked him to remove the dado he has just put up, there is nothing wrong with dado rails, they are traditional. So painting the woodwork white. I would start with skirting, door architraves, front door and dado as it is visually splitting the room in two. Choose different colours for below and above dado, darker below and lighter above, someone suggested choosing colours from the slate which seems an excellent idea. Definitely replace carpet on stairs to neutral sisal or similar. If budget allows replace the hall door for something simpler and less busy (like kitchen door maybe). You may get away with not painting balusters if you make the other changes you would have to judge once the walls are done and carpet samples to hand. A narrow console or radiator cover with mirror above would bounce light around too. Best of luck!!...See MoreDark, cottage hallway ideas!
Comments (20)I remember when the modern WM collection came out and thought they were stunning. I can't really see upstairs walls properly as to suitability for wallpaper but the one to the left of the stairs on the ground floor would look great. You could consider applying decorators varnish (polyvine) over the top to protect the paper from getting dirty? Test a piece first though. Also choose a scrubbable paint for the other walls, something like Little Greene intelligent eggshell is great (although the slight sheen will show up any plaster Imperfections but it will also bounce a little light). I like the rugs although do see Sonia's point re the ground floor one 😂 Great idea for books/display. Just thinking as you're decorating anyway you could install downlights and keep the pendants rather than run other lights off it? I'm not a huge downlights fan but they do serve a purpose! Maybe run them off a separate switch to the pendants?...See More

5 years agoHi, I agree quarry tiles are grim aren’t they? You could get some vinyl fitted over the tiles (not sure if it needs boarding first) say in a nice patterned tile. Then how about a grey and white theme - mid grey walls and white woodwork? Or a dark and moody blue. Something like this:-

Hi there, Good quality engineered wood flooring is very hardwearing and looks very impressive. Using a lighter timber such as ash in your hallway would look very impressive. Laying the boards in the direction towards the door affords invites you into the space and leads the eye in . Running boards in the direction of a light path so that the light picks up on the end joints also helps highlight the natural features of the floor. Small points but worth considering and can definitely enhance the size and feel of a space. If we can offer any advice on engineered flooring please do not hesitate to contact us.minnie101
5 years agoI agree with forzaitalia and would go for vinyl tile effect as the pattern will add some interest. carpetright do a couple of nice ones and they also have a room visualiser. Unfortunately it keeps crashing on my iPad but it's old so I would give it a go. I hope you don't mind me saying but I think the radiator cover is a little too large. Personally I'd remove it and add a wooden shelf over the top. Then add a mirror, a vase of stems, maybe a nice diffuser and a candle.
i must admit I quite like the tiles so another option is to add a runner for some texture

5 years agoHello! Nice suggestions above!
I would also consider a sisal carpet... suits every period, tough, neutral style and would look lovely next to your wooden floor!

5 years agoHi emerlee123, your hallway looks very similar in size and layout to mine, so I thought I'd share what we've done. I noticed you're on a budget and ours was done on a budget too. Hope this is helpful to visualise something similar....
Walls are painted in Dulux Blueberry White. I love this colour, it's so fresh and calm. We continued this same colour in the cloakroom and up the stairs onto the landing. Light fitting is 'Adele' pendant from John Lewis (£35). The pictures don't do the fitting justice, it's worth seeing in store if you can, it's so pretty. Flooring is oak effect laminate which we only just put down (you may notice the skirting isn't fitted yet as this is the next job on our list). I got the mirror years ago from TKMaxx. Our radiator cover was here when we bought the house. It's probably a little dated for me as I prefer a more modern look but the quality is nice so we've kept hold of it. It's a little smaller in size than yours.
We have some small, simple wall art as well heading up the stairs and by the front door in white square ikea ribba frames.
Good luck with your project, look forward to seeing some pictures when you've completed it:-)

5 years agoWhat about making a grand entrance to the home with a brand new carpet? A hallway is often one of the most neglected spaces in the home but why? It’s often the first thing that a guest will see. It’s worth spending time and effort on making this area welcoming. Have you considered letting a striped carpet take centre stage? Our Avebury collection, made from 100% pure new wool comes in either a neat, level loop pile or a textured loop pile and offers four tonal striped designs that can be worked in the hall and up the stairs. Or if you dare to be bold, opt for a charcoal grey shade to add a pop of style. Team with lots of white or cream woodwork to keep the look simple and sophisticated. We’ve attached some inspiration pics – let us know what you decide! Here’s a link to all of our carpet ranges https://www.cormarcarpets.co.uk/ranges/carpet-ranges/
