Hall and stairs and a parquet floor.
I’ve sanded down the old parquet floor and the colour is much lighter, but how to finish it without making it much darker? I’ve done a patch test with osmo polyx oil 3032 satin clear but it’s quite Dark. I actually like the untreated colour. Any ideas of how to protect the wood without changing the colour?
The walls were magnolia painted anaglipta which was impossible to keep clean with 2 dogs. I’ve stripped the wallpaper and there is a lime green paint underneath. Far too bold for us but something about the colour actually makes the hall look so much brighter. I did fancy greys but want light and bright. Any suggestions please?

Comments (21)Hi Hilary, We can't help but imagine a beautiful parquet floor in that hallway - we agree with colourhappy about having a durable carpet on the stairs too to add contrast. Hallways in old houses just ask for parquet, and you could go modern or traditional with the colour. Here's some inspiration: Goodrich Salted Oak Goodrich Coffee Oak Goodrich Espresso Oak You can order free samples from our website if you'd like to take a closer look.

Comments (14)Hi Joanne, I'd possibly paint the stair wood work black to add a bit of difference. Completely agree with the above and would get yourself a runner, will definitely add personality to the space and there are so many out there at the moment! H&M, IKEA and Next do some great ones. Looks like you might be hanging a print on the far wall which is lovely. I'd add some succulents (faux or real) on the shelf next to the door. What's also cool at the mo is a stair gallery wall which could be a nice option. Alternatively a mirror on the right hand wall (as you face in) would be nice. You could also create a tiny shelf with natural wood that goes above the radiator Hope that helps! Phoebe x...See Morestaircase advice in hall and first floor should it be the same?

2 years agoJust finished the floor so thought I would update my post. I’ve used Mann’s primer and trade pro top coats. Its brought out the wood really well. The doors are all oak - which is why we wanted it light. But looks better than it did. Now the decorating.
