As your style is clutter free (hurray for you), I think a radiator cover will complicate this entrance hall. You have fantastic light flooding in from the front door, and I feel the mirrors are the problem. Remove the one over the radiator, and replace with a statement picture to give colour - match in with your giraffe lamp. The other mirror does not really go with this hallway, as it has wood down the side, and I feel a statement mirror would be far better - love the one suggested by Monica. You have a large hall, and putting plants and bibs and bobs on radiator covers will end up making this calming hall look cluttered.

Very much like my hall (almost identical except ours is 1922 and thus the detail is a tad more Edwardian in influence) ! I've added a wall light on the wall going up the stairs and matching pendants from Fritz Fryer and added a plain paper from Zoffany (called 'silk plain') . Thus the basic scheme is very plain and layered up with artefacts (tables, hall chair, paintings). I've added mirrors to throw light around the place..and am hunting for a distressed antique one to go right at the top of the stairs facing you. It looks as though your stairs go to left and right too... so adding the mirror will I think create more light and ambiance in that rather dark junction. I do agree that it would be lovely to have the stained glass replaced in the door. I added full door curtains with a upholstered pelmet over the door which makes it look much less stark (personally I don't think the little shelf at right adds anything and I'd remove it ;( ). . I chose an embroidered linen from Sanderson for the curtains and used the same fabric for the landing window and hooked that back with a French swan neck holdback and they were hung from a brass reeded Jim Lawrence curtain pole which goes very well with the Fritz Fryer lighting fitments. It's still work in progress as our beautiful carpet had to be removed due to allergy and we're still trying to get the best result on the oak floor in the hall. Be lovely to see what you do given your layout is so similar! :)

Ok, so I've tried to delete this post as I've just picked up the rest of the laminate and think that the flooring will need to be replaced. The floor level isn't the only issue. Previous owners have welded other tiles to the original ones (which is where the black glue is coming from). Also, we are soon to be running a new mains water pipe through the house and the flooring will need to come up in the hall. We are having a new boiler and pipe replaced because it currently takes 15 minutes to run a bath. I will be contacting a restoration company today to see if they can advise.

Thanks Isla for responding . I don’t have a fortune so I won’t be getting anything custom built 😀 I will keep exploring i agree, I am sure there is something out there I can probably use . The flooring .. love the idea of tiles in the porch but I really need to move away from carpet in the hallway as the flow of taking coats and shoes off for my little ones is a little congested at the entrance . I think I considered LVT because I eventually want to extend the flooring from the hallway into the dining room through to the kitchen. I would image tiles can be cold and slippery. What would be your choice if tiles aren’t the option ? What’s your experience with LVT ? I did consider kardean but this seems pricy and not sure how it outweighs LVT such as amtico. Look forward to hearing your thoughts .
