Black, walnut, brass or brushed nickel. Depends on the style of the wardrobes and knobs :)

Why not handles?

I would add colour, perhaps change the floor depending on budget and add some nice storage where you hang your clothes rather than leave it open. You can have some kind of console under the stairs with lighting and a round mirror to make the place look spacious and perhaps small pendants , 3 or so, along the corridor. Definitely looks like it needs brightening up and lighting is key. However of course it depends on what you doing with the rest of the house, for example you could even change the stairs and have a nice runner . It is not just the hallway, but the entrance to your house and it all has to flow!

Hi I am interested in this topic - fingers crossed coming to the end of the kitchen/side return project and need to render the rear of the property too. Our doors will also be anthracite grey. Neighbours seem to use white paint on the bottom half of the properties but it looks very harsh. What colour did you decide on and any chance of some photos of the finished look? thks

As said before, you will need a bonding primer. Two I know of are zinsser bullseye 123 primer and Owatrol ESP (easy surface primer). Both of these (and there might be other brands as well) can be used without sanding the surface first but remember to sugar soap them first to remove residues. Haven't used the zinsser but heard a lot of good things about it. ESP is expensive but goes a long way, basically it creates a film which etches into the surface beneath it. Two or three top coats of chosen paint finish, job done. I've used ESP on veneer and it does bond really well but can't speak for it's longevity, paint chipping, knocks etc. might be as well to use a multi purpose primer after the bonding primer and then the top coats. Use a foam gloss roller for a nice even finish. This sounds a bit confusing so steps are: 1. Sugar soap surface 2. Wipe off sugar soap 3. Bonding primer, follow instructions 4. Multi use primer or top coat 5. 2-3 layers of top coat. Alternatively you could you use Annie Sloan chalk paint which also doesn't require sanding first and use a clear wax or lacquer to finish.

Hello again Thanks for the carpet comment. I took a while to choose it, and had a moment (or ten) of self doubt, but it really does go perfecttly in the room. I cant find a tape measure so have taken pics to give an idea of scale -they're probably about 4cm square.

Of course this is down to your taste. If you want the knobs to stand out then look to brass (which would look good on the wood or polished nickel which is softer than chrome. If you want them to merge in then go for darker woods such as our ebony ones. For something amazing then look to glass. See our range here: https://www.priorsrec.co.uk/cupboard-knobs
