You have a good entry to work with, it needs to welcome you home! A hall table to plonk down the keys, a bowl to put them in, a mirror or maybe a large print above and a rug that will do heavy duty.... so some ideas. I've leaned towards darker woods for the warmth that it gives as I'm making the assumption that paint and flooring are not able to be changed. Of course, it these 2 elements are open to change - well, the world is your oyster as they say!

Nice spacious hallway. Your ideas are great. I would suggest a bench on one side and a simple console table on the other with a mirror above.

You are very lucky - beautiful hallway! I wouldn't bother with the wainscotting - there is enough going on and you can still do the contrast below the chair rail with different colour paint. I see you have quite a few samples on the walls....I would do the trim, balusters/spindles, and door in the same colour as the white/cream in the floor tile. The other colour or colours on the wall should highlight the beautiful interior doors, the floor and the stained glass (and paint the radiator(s) the same colour as the wall behind it). For inspiration, I haven't found anything very helpful on Houzz yet, but if you go to the Farrow and Ball website and then go to their "inspiration" site and select "hallway", they have quite a few that are similar to yours. I found one that used Wimbourne White and Manor House Gray with a black and white checkerboard floor that looked lovely, another one that used Mizzle, one with Brinjal under the chair rail for something dramatic (which, from the look of your samples, you might like)..... Anyway, if I was clever-er I would be able to link them to here, but I'm not, so peruse them and see if there is anything that suits. Enjoy!

I also wouldn't add a runner, we had one in our last house and was forever slipping on it! I would just accessorise the shelf with a large display of stems or flowers, it also looks as if you have a plug socket (?) so a candlestick lamp with a patterned shade and maybe add a photo frame. Maybe a rattan umbrella stand for texture and 2/3 faux antlers or whatever you like up the stairs (think you need to click on the picture). I'd also add art at the top of the stairs and budget permitting I personally would swap the downlighter in front of the kitchen door for a pendant to create a focal point.

Hello Sarah, There is a possibility that you have combined sewage in that location. I can see a drainage pipe from the roof on the front of the house. Have a look down the street and see if there are any other houses with bathrooms or drainage on the front or contact your local Building Control who will confirm. I have no idea how important the number of bedrooms are for your needs but you could forfeit the third bedroom. Alternatively have a smaller kitchen area. as the second plan and take a small chunk out of the bedroom, probably less is needed than I have indicated. If your budget allows then remove the chimney, but it is not necessary. I would take out the walls around the stair to below as that will make the space much broader. and also give the space a funky feel to it. Add some velux windows with shafts down into the kitchen dining space. I am not sure why there is no window onto the garden, perhaps look into that on your deeds and see if it could be allowed. The kitchen may be better located towards the front of the house on the first plan so that any seated area is not adjacent to a circulation route/ corridor space. Set the roof windows in a neat pattern of 2 or 3 over that space as it will help to tie it together as one. I am not sure how often you would use the front small bedroom but it could be opened out as part of the living room now and when you eventually sell, put back as a bedroom.. Hope that helps Roger

Hi Jonathan. Thanks for the replies - they got us talking about a bunch of things! We totally agree about the entrance to the living space - it is too crowded - and the utility room does seem overly large. As a result we're now thinking of broaching the following with the architects. Mirror the stairs mum has on her side to where our current utility room is. They don't need much space which allows for the adjacent study to grow. They would also no longer encroach on the hallway - allowing for a wider door and wider access to it. As an added benefit the stairs would exist facing a better direction (towards the familly bathroom) on the first floor. Potentially this could be three wins! This is the upstairs plan, btw, with the stairs ending facing a wall: The utility room would be moved to the front of the house where the wc and cloakroom are and while we would lose the outside access, it would be close to the front door to get the dogs in quick. The downstairs wc could then go under the stairs? I think that would work. I like the idea of the seperate games room but my better half has vetoed it. She's adamant she wants it in the main social area. And mum was toying with a bedroom downstairs, but would rather the space for other things. It is a good suggestion and one that i've echoed, but she is strong willed and knows what she wants (I wouldn't have it any other way!). A lift or stair master may be on the cards at some point, though. Cheers again for the input!

One thing to think about is that what you put in your hall should lead to the style you have in the other rooms in your home, so the style flows between rooms for a cohesive look. I'm sorry but I'm not a fan of the mirror, it just seems to be too broken up. With the grey floor, I'm leaning towards adding warmth to the area over a colder reflective finish. A deeper blue might work better, if you are going for color over wood tones.

I'm liking the 3rd one! The others do 't have any 'spark' about them, a bit too plan for the space.
