Advice on 1930s hallway colour scheme
Hi everyone,
We are putting together a new colour scheme for our 1930s semi hallway. The tiles are the only thing currently purchased and we are very happy with our choice.
Below there are two colour schemes. The first with Sulking Room pink (colour behind the tiles) and the second one is with Dead Salmon. We are planning to paint Railings on some of the stairs and use Shaded White for skirting boards and maybe ceiling as well (all colours mentioned are from Farrow and Ball).
The hallway is south facing so very sunny most of the day.
I’m more inclined to go for the Dead Salmon scheme as there is less pink in it.
Any ideas appreciated.
Thank you!

Need advice for carpet colour on my stairs please - 1930s traditional
Comments (43)hi all, update is I have finally found a photo of someones stairs done in Brintons timorous beastie yellow Ruskin butterfly and its made me decide we are definitely 100% going for this as I love it (see attached pics) on stairs and landing... Floor in hall will be oak herringbone parquet, just wall colour to decide and we have bought new tall skirting so colour to paint this also? i have attcahed apic of the hall currently so you can see our front door with stain glass.. As Ive mentioned before the banister and spindles will be replaces with square spindles with an oak top banister and oak end cap - similar to this houzz pic ... So just to deicide on wall colour and new skirting colour... I really like f&b light blue in a hall with oak parquet but I don't feel this will go with the carpet... Kitchen and dining room will be one of the sage shades and lounge Wimborne white and downpipe......See MoreNeed help with small 1930's kitchen/diner design
Comments (29)We had a similar project and gutted the house. Rewire replaster all walls and ceilings. We restored the original parquet flooring and then new carpets everywhere else. Knocked through between kitchen and dining room, new garage roof. New doors and work surface but kept the original kitchen units. Kept the bathroom but put in a new floor. Did this for about £10k. Now 18 months later we're looking at extending the kitchen diner into a big open plan room going out the back as you have suggested but also out to the side. Our neighbours have done similar and we think we can get it done for about 30-40k not including the kitchen. The side extension means a fair bit of structural steel so if you don't do this then it saves a fair bit - our other neighbours have done this. We want an open but defined space so we're looking at keeping a pillar (also cheaper) then having an L shaped kitchen diner around a more relaxed sitting and entertaining area. The idea being that for dinner parties you mill around and have drinks in here before going to eat. Also can have friends round for coffee etc while the front living room remains the primary TV watching area. We'd keep a small boot room off the back for the dog, a pantry in the middle and a toilet at the front. See below for some pictures that illustrate our plans. These are mine and just awaiting our architects plans. In summary I'd get it up to a basic standard until you've got a bit more then go big, although as you say with your cheap labour you might get what you want for the money!...See More1930s front door advice please
Comments (14)Hi Rebecca Your door is beautiful, you could get a like for like replacement in timber painted any colour you like and keep a circular window. We have replicated stain glass for previous customers in a double glazed unit which looks fantastic and is toughened glass so it's safe and warm. Otherwise you could look at other 1930's styles. You could go with quite a strong colour on your house which would look great against the white. let us know what you decide on....See More1930s hallway tiles
Comments (2)Use matt porcelain. Most colors and/or pattern could do. Add a charcoal/black edge (and perhaps one row of those for baseboards) to give it that 30s feel. True terrazzo would look great, but is expensive (and messy to have installed), fortunately it comes in tile too. Portuguese patterns look great too. What looks and feel would you like the house to have? Favourite colors? Styles? Materials?...See More

3 years agoHow about Mylands Soho House? Mylands is amazing paint (especially their marble matt). This is from their Instagram account... I think it’s kind of a half way between the two F&B colours.
Also worth checking out is the new paint range by Cox and Cox (made by Mylands!) they have a muted pale pink called Smock. It might be too pale though.

3 years agoHi all! So we are finally laying our hallway tiles but now we are considering Calke Green or Green Smoke for the walls (F&B). What do you guys think? We have Inchyra blue in our living room. As you can see the hallway is very light and bright 🤔

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoBeautiful floor. I think sulking room pink would look lovely, and I usually only like blues or greens! Here’s a picture where the door is sulking room with a similar, but paler, floor to yours. It looks lovely. If no one else wants pink, I think any of the F&B greens would look great too.

2 years agoLove it!!! We have similar-ish tiles (see below) and have got a million pink samples but disint think any worked and now we’ve moved to green too, though I have been thinking little greene pea green - our hall not as bright as yours. But I might buy a sample anywya, it’s so lovely (and what’s another £5?? 🤪)
