Help: ideas for painting hallway and stairs/landing
Comments (3)I agree the grey-green colour is lovely, and it's quite restful so I don't think it would be too much if you wanted to do the whole lot in that colour. Also it would go very nicely with the parquet. However if you want to break it up, you could consider installing a dado rail and have colour under the dado and white/neutral above, or vice versa. You could even install panelling up to dado height. I don't know whether panelling or dado rails are strictly authentic for 1930s, you would have to check that, but I think it would look ok even if not authentic, as long as the style is simple. One more thought, are you going to carpet the stairs? (They look lovely bare but will be very noisy I imagine). If so I would advise choosing carpet first and then paint to go with the carpet - much easier than trying to match carpet to paint!...See MorePAINTING BANNISTER AND NEWELL POST
Comments (28)Looks great :-) really like that wallpaper, as I did the first time you posted it as an option for your bathroom :-) Great little space, re the ceiling, I think it would look great painted the same colours as the walls if you wanted to change it! Looks good as it too :-)...See MoreVictorian hallway - to paint or not to paint?
Comments (16)I had exactly the same dilemma - neighbours told us how long the previous owner had spent stripping all the wood, and in the end we lived with it for about 10 years! It eventually got to me last summer as I was lusting after lovely white painted stairs with a nice runner. I bought the paint and then bottled it!!! I ended up with a slight compromise - I painted the wood stringers (just googled that, so hoping it’s the right term!) white. I also painted the skirting and the walls white along with other bits of wood that we seemed to have exposed at the top between the ceiling and the floor of the next level. I also ditched the idea of painted stairs (because a friend pointed out that the cleaning requirements were perhaps higher than I could maintain!!) and we went with a grey striped full width carpet. I also painted just one short wall in the hall a navy blue as it was left over from another project. A year on and the hallway still makes me smile - and we still have the wood, although it seems less domineering now. I’ll try and attach a photo - it’s not a brilliant one because it was taken at night - however in the day time it’s much brighter!...See MoreStairs & hallway help ...
Comments (6)Your hallway is beautiful, but I understand the dark issue! It has made me think about a couple of instagram people that I follow... The first is semi_in_suburbia who had a similar dark hallway and has since painted it. Not sure if this link works, but I will try! https://www.instagram.com/p/Bc4YiUrgx7o/?igshid=1e9433qgiora5 The second one is Malmo and Moss - in addition to Instagram, her hallway transformation is also in a blog... https://malmoandmoss.com/home-1/2019/12/6/03ehb3k5ckvleip5u7tunnvgqnoc3o Both have painted their wood in pale muted colours - and look stunning......See MoreE D
