Hall/Stairs/Landing revamp help! Farrow & Ball ....
Hi there,
So we've painters booked to paint our hall, stairs and landing next month. I would really appreciate some advice for what wall colours to choose.
1. We've decided to paint the stairs and understair storage in F&B Railings, leaving the handrail in oak. Do you think this would look well (esp the storage part, it's quite large!)
2. I'm looking for a contemporary neutral for the walls and will also consider painting over the Green Smoke bookcase. I'd love some ideas here! I am torn between painting it the same as the walls, but also painting it in Downpipe for a change. It does break up the area a little too much perhaps.
Thanks a million :)

Need help with my Hallway and Landing ...
Comments (18)After living with beige neutrals for about 10 years I revamped my stairs and hallway early this year with lavender walls and the brightest white gloss I could find. Mine is not the biggest space so I took out the pendant light and had recessed spot lights installed. Finished off with a silver grey carpet, although I confess this went completely against everything my friends told me....."dark carpet on stairs!". It looks fab, light and clean, although I am now a strictly no shoes upstairs freak. The floor downstairs is a parquet type flooring in a pale oak colour. I have dark oak in the kitchen and am pleased that I went with the paler oak for the hallway. I finished it off with a white blind at the top of the stairs where the only window is and the space which doubles up as an office. The first picture is taken at night with the spots on and it shines different in the daylight. Overall, I was sceptical when the first coat of paint went on but now I'm quite liking the whole 'purple' effect....See Morehall stairs and landing
Comments (5)Joa's white is darker with a warm beige undertone and to be honest may look too warm with all the oak. Skimming Stone is lighter but does have a violet undertone and that may not work with the Pointing (which has a cream undertone). Have you bought the Pointing paint yet?...See Morebest warm colour for hall stairs and landing
Comments (1)I would recommend Farrow and Ball, Oxford Stone, or if you don't mind some colour Setting Plaster is a warm pink and would look really good against the green/blue carpet....See MoreHall, stairs and landing dilemma
Comments (46)Haha! No I forgot! But I let everyone choose a couple of things, including a ballerina, Eminem, some other rapper I don't recognise, the Beagle 2 Mars lander, an eighteenth century astronomer, Durham Cathedral, Groucho and Karl Marx, the Rocinante space ship from The Expanse, a famous (apparently) meme, and an x box controller!...See MoreLara Mc
