I have a medium sized hallway and have a red hall door, we'd love ideas as to what colour to paint the hall and landing?

Colour and type of flooring do you have? What's the light like in the space? What sort of style do you like I.e traditional, modern. How do you want it to feel - dramatic, light and airy, warm and welcoming etc.

Hi, my floors are light oak and stairs are carpeted in a light brown carpet which we will probably change

Empty out the furniture and fixtures there, including the lamp and ceiling fixture.Use a storage bench instead for a place to sit and remove shoes. Shoes or backpacks can be dropped inside it. You can get much better lighting from a fixture that has lights to wash the ceiling and to light the floor. What is under your stairs? Do you have room to install some storage there? Pull out stair drawers might work for shoes, and you might add some pull outs under the stairs if they are suited for it. A foyer should serve to introduce you, your style and the decor to be expected in the adjoining rooms. I would key furnishings and paint to what is going on in the rooms left and right of the foyer. Everything I see hanging on the walls is hung too high. The general rule is that the center point of a single piece or a grouping should be 5' above the floor. If the first piece at the bottom of the stairwell is hung at that level, you can use painter's tape to tape the center line all the way up the stairs and arrange pictures above and below the line, with a few centered right on it for a more pleasant arrangement. Not knowing much about the rest of your home or your personal style, I might suggest you paint a soft color like Sherwin WIlliams Sea Salt.

Have you considered a shade of grey? I think something between pale and mid grey would be lovely with the dark floor and the white trim. It would compliment the rooms without trying to match them. You've gone for really beautiful strong and definite colours in both rooms (which I love) so I'd keep the hall a little more neutral as a backdrop to the green and teal.

Hi, Please see the link attached; https://www.houzz.ie/hznb/projects/buildtech-hallway-and-stairs-before-and-after-pj-vj~6673682 . This is a renovation of a stairwell, hallway and landing we did recently. As you can see, we also created bespoke paneling for the client and the space itself is quite similar to yours. This may give you an idea of what colour looks well above the paneling. Let us know what you think! Regards, BuildTech.
