Help with colours, dark hallway.
Comments (8)There’s nothing more welcoming than a bright and inviting hallway as the introduction to your house, so it’s important to capture any available light and lead the eye into the heart of your home. Light and Space If you really want to get maximum light into your hallway, choose a colour from the Dulux Light + Space range. This has revolutionary light reflecting technology which magically captures light, and bounces it back into the room to help open up darker areas. Cotton Breeze is a gorgeous fresh pale blue grey that would really come to life on the walls and ceiling, and tie in with the blue in your floor. Reflections An easy trick to lift a space is to place mirrors in strategic places. Positioning a large mirror on your landing will make your hallway feel wider, as well as bouncing light that comes in from the doorways. Glass light fittings and glazed framed pictures on the walls will also help with catching the light, and making your hallway feel bright and uplifting. Colour play Lighter colours will open up your hallway, but you don’t always have to go for ‘off white’ to get the best solution. With a hint of nautical, Velvet Touch 5 is a gorgeous soft pale duck egg blue that will co-ordinate with your floor tiles beautifully. Go for a matt finish to disguise uneven surfaces, and Endurance+ which is super hardwearing and wipeable - perfect to clean away any sticky fingerprints. Pick out the architectural details such as skirting and coving in Absolute White for a lovely fresh feel. Focal Point The wall that runs up your stairs is a real focal point of your hallway, so bring this to life with a fuller shade such as Velvet Touch 3, or a printed wallpaper. Highlight this wall with a collection of your favourite pictures or family photos, grouped together for maximum impact. Good luck and please let us know what you go for!

Comments (4)As a rule of thumb use richer or warmer colour on shaded surfaces because if you go for white or light colours in shadow they always look grey. Save white for anywhere day light hits. For your downstairs hall what about paints from Farrow and Ball: Upstairs the hall looks narrow but even so, adding details will help - wall lights, mirrors etc. I think this area needs more elaboration. Maybe this is a good place for your wallpaper which just might be too much with the tiles downstairs? A picture rail would be appropriate here and be sure to choose a colour for the woodwork that suits, the default white might not. Jane...See MoreVictorian hallway - what colour?!
Comments (7)How about a soft grey? This looks amazing with gold yellow accents to brighten the space - or you could go for navy? (if you're feeling bold) I absolutely love Victorian hallways so it would be lovely to make the most of those unique period features!...See MoreVictorian tiled hall floor -Ideas for walls, paintwork and staircarpet
