Dorset Stable ConversionCountry Hallway & Landing, Dorset
What Houzz contributors are saying:
Make an entranceAs a hallway is somewhere you don’t tend to linger, it’s a great place to have some fun. Here, the homeowners have really gone to town and lined the walls with vertical stripes, which draw the eye up and make the ceiling seem higher than it is. The bursts of deep pink on the stripes lead the way to the solid block of colour in the room beyond. To make a hall look longer or wider, rather than higher, you could opt for horizontal stripes instead.
The corridor leading to the children’s bedrooms has been given a fun, circus-style makeover. ‘Before, it felt too serious and grown-up, so I hand-painted the stripes with the help of masking tape,’ says Henriette. ‘The stripes are the same size as the roller I used. It was so easy, and the children think it’s great.’
