Staircase - to paint or not?! If so, colour?
8 months ago
Decorator booked but keep changing my mind about the final look of these stairs. Should we paint all parts expect the treads and banister? If so, a neutral off white or go bold like a green from this duvet cover? South facing downstairs and plenty of light at the top. Suggestions welcome please!

paint stairs white? If so, which bits?
Comments (23)Hi. Have you ever considered a real interesting eye catching piece of art work to really brighten up an area, I think a select piece of art would really make the space stand out, add interest, colour, texture and add a great talking point to the room.... Please check out my website if you like the idea and please get in contact, commission work is also welcomed so if you like a particular style I can do in a select colour palette and size as an original piece…..I’m also able to produce all original paintings in high end print format, in any size same or smaller than the original. (all within proportions to the original so not to cause distortion) All prints shown are Giclee prints onto soft textured fine art media. All prints come with a white border these can be made to measure too. So lots of options, www.guigsart.co.uk...See MoreHall stair landing paint colour
Comments (2)Hi, You can choose from an array of colours but I'd first look at - whether your house has a certain theme which you'd want to flow into your home - whether you have a few colours in mind -whether you are restricted in terms of colour due to carpet, etc Don't have a paint chart in front of me, but with colours from the top of my head, here goes:: If you are looking at neutrals:- for a light airy cream, I'd look along the lines of Dulux Timeless for whites/greys, I'd look at F and B elephants breath or Skimming stone for Greige like colours I'd look at Dulux Egyptian Cotton or Just walnut as starting points. Alternatively you might decide to go for darker hues or work with colours which are not neutral. Good Luck...See Moredark paint on stair case? what colour on walls?
Comments (24)It's interesting the mention of Insta. We were talking about this the other day - what looks good on a tiny square does not necessarily translate to real life. Things need to have impact on a small square to draw the eye, but in real life you need to live in a space and feel comfortable. I think we have all been sucked in at times! Anyway, Forza's previous mention about Skimming Stone is a good one. Greys tend to be blue based, green based or violet based. Blue based can look urban and tend towards cool, green based or violet based may be the way to go. Little Greene Slaked Lime is good, Skimming Stone woodwork, Elephants Breath walls Farrow and Ball etc....See MorePaint colour suggestions for hallway, stairs and landing
Comments (28)Hiya, we have a Victorian hallway and it is done very similar to Rukmini’s first image. We have a greeny grey under the dado (including the skirting and dado itself) and on the doors and architraves. It’s Blanket by Paint & Paper library which is a little darker than Rukmini’s pic. Then an off white above the dado and on the ceiling. It used to be off white all over and the grey definitely has made it darker. On the other hand it also feels smarter and shows the marks less! Swings and roundabouts. I wouldn’t have three colours, I would pick one colour plus off white above the dado/picture rail (Pointing seems sensible!!) Your tiles look browny grey so would suggest looking at Ammonite by F&B and its family of colours - (Cornforth White, Purbeck Stone). See below for the F&B families of greys. If you want bluey or greeny greys then Paint & Paper Library are a good source but be careful to see if they will go with your tiles....See More- 8 months ago
