Home Decorating Design Dilemma Hallways

Hallway decor/storage help!

3 years ago

Hello all,

I have recently fitted a radiator cover over an unsightly radiator that had pipes running over the skirting. At the same time I gave the walls a lick of paint and re painted the skirtings also.

Now the dilemma is I have a router and telephone sat on the floor as I am lost for what I can put them on the right hand side without cluttering the hallway too much.

Any ideas for how I can hide them would be appreciated. I would be concerned with buying a sideboard as it may fee too cramped.

Many thanks in advance

You're right about not having a piece of furniture on both sides as that will feel much too tight. I can see a socket next to the radiator, can the telephone be connected to that and moved on top and then you've just got to sort the hub. I think it's about trying to move it away from there rather than make a shelf or something.

Can you put the connector on the other side of the wall?
Is there a second internet socket in the house that can be used instead
Can you run the cable (with long cable) around to the radiator/ under the rug.

Otherwise I think a small shelf perhaps reasonably high might be the best thing to try and not make it the feature of the hallway!

I would go for greys and whites to give it a spacious feel. If light is an issue try elephants breath by F&B as it will warm the area. Remove all the paper and paint walls. I personally think the dado would look good in white and will match your doors. Panelling under the dado could also look good and wouldn't date. You could try a diy version as shown in pic as panelling is dear. The laminate in the hall looks good so would keep this and personally would go for a neutral colour on the stairs or even try a stripe. you could try blinds instead of curtains. I would also add a couple of big statement lights on the hall and landing. If you really want some wallpaper, then add a feature wall where the console table is or even at the top of the stairs to draw your eye upwards.

I have a hall way very similar to yours, when we moved in it was painted white. I presume the previous owner wanted to improve light levels. It had the reverse effect! It made the space seem gloomier which may be related to the front of the house being north facing, what direction does your house face as this may influence paint choices. I love colour but go neutral in a space like a hall way as it links all the rooms in the house and in Victorian houses is very difficult to decorate, ceiling heights etc. We used Farrow and Balls London stone as it remained a true neutral,,many other beige/greige had pink/ purple tones which showed in artificial light. I agree with the other comments about stripping the doors particularly if you do decide on white, it will provide contrast and warmth. You could paint a darker colour beneath the dado rail. I would suggest careful placement of mirrors to maximise/ steal light from other rooms. Also pictures with glass bring light to the area too. You could mount pictures on the stair case in line with the treads. I agree with the earlier comment about mounts and frames. I would go for a runner to show off your lovely stair case. Does the door to your kitchen/diner have a glass panel (s) in it, if not I would suggest adding one or two depending on the type of original door you have that will pull light in from that room. Good lighting will help too, it all depends on your personal preference, you could have pendants downstairs and spotlights upstairs. Good luck with it and hope you enjoy the process

You'll have to get a few tester pots to try around your hallway. Every colour of paint changes depending on which way the room faces and different light coming in. Give these three colours from Farrow & Ball a go: Inchrya Blue Stiffkey Blue Hague Blue Or, from Coat Paints, try these: 2am The Drink Coat Paints have fantastic peel and stick swatches!
