Painting our whole house

8 years ago

We have just renovated our house, removed walls etc and are now at the exciting stage of choosing colours, furniture and general finishing touches to complete our project. We are have a house with lots of traditional features which we would like to make the most of. Can anyone recommend someone they have used who doesn't cost the earth. This is an example of our hallway...I can upload more pictures if needed. Our home is in North London by the way.

Hello,

Firstly I would suggest you create a moodboard. This will help developing your ideas and save your money too buy not spending on unnecessary items. Think of your favourite style you would like your interior to feature, paste on your board your favourite colours, style, element, texture, etc.

For further reading regarding how to create a moodboard, lighting design and interior styling, please follow our blog

I love the floor you have got, you can add grey, white, cream. I would personally consider yellow, red even blue, but it really depends how you wish to style your interior.

Thanks for the feedback, we had something similar in mind. Would you suggest bringing the door out to the front? What about the windows either side, we would think about replacing maybe in a different colour, possibly grey, and add some cedar cladding to the house front and paint walls grey. We are also toying with the idea of bring double doors out to the front with arclight over head and then to add coving around the windows with arc that mirrors the arc light to try and soften the whole angular look to to the front. All suggestions welcome. Thanks Brian

Please, please, please, don't paint any of the wood. You have a beautiful setting for mid century modern décor. I can agree with removing the carpet from the stairs, however I would just want to add a jute floor covering for the stairs after. The light fixtures should probably both be changed. You even have a lovely roomy space in your foyer. I always recommend starting with the foundation of the room, which is the floor covering. Kilim, ikat, Persian or Oriental would be my choice. I would think minimalist would be very fitting in this space.

Hello Duncan, They are good and I am biased as I don't use companies that don't provide trade discount... as I usually like to help my clients out... Here's a few images and an edging on a runner can be lovely too... I have also included one of a painted stair... So you have an option all of which are rather striking.... : )) x http://www.naturalrugstore.co.uk/coir-rugs.asp?gclid=Cj0KEQjwiKS3BRCU-7XQ75Te3NoBEiQAA2t_xPmcwAZ3TS0Qhq1t1hzYsP-r8oFgdC385qXO88eXioYaAjCE8P8HAQ The painted one... I would include the banister in this scenario..

After washing the facade there two options, 1 prime or 2 paint. 1. Use primer only nano technology (nano primer, paint, or plaster keeping their façades look bright all the time). 2. If you consider paint recommendation to use also nano paint or nano thermal ceramic paint. Nano paint just keeps the facade with no changes for life, but thermal paint not just keeps the facade bright at all the time but also dry out your house and reduce heating costs up to 33%.

Ideally yes if anyone has any good suggestions or experiences?
We just had our hallway retiled as it had sunk in places so yes would like this to be a key feature. I like the idea of white walls. I'll add some more pictures of other rooms today

I think most of the non-pro's who comment on here love interior design so aren't likely to have used a pro tbh but I may well be wrong! I'd have a word with AJ, you can also look at her design dilemma suggestions for others houses if you go onto her profile. alternatively click onto the find pro section and search for designers in London. You can have a look at their galleries, reviews and indicative costs. Or you could just post each room on here and all types of people will provide feedback! The potential downside of this is you may not get a cohesive look, plus it may be time consuming for a whole house. In terms of the hall, white needs light to work and the end looks a little dark although that may just be the pic as my iPad turns even the brightest rooms dark! The tiles also appear more cream than white so maybe a white with a yellow or even a red undertone may work best or a pale, warm neutral. You could also go for a colour, the floor will stand out whatever
