Hallway Flooring Decisions

Thinking of neutral coloured porcelain tiles for hallway and kitchen come living room. Or would a graphic tile work better in hallway? Not sure if I should paint skirting white! Ideas and options welcome!

It really is a matter of personal preference. Heavily patterned tiles are probably the most popular for hallways at the moment. The idea being that they create an impact as you walk into a hallway but as it is an area/room you spend very little time in you tend not to tire of them as easily as you might in area where you spend more time such as a kitchen,. If you go for the plainer option it allows you create any impact you wish on the walls safe in the knowledge that paint or paper are more easily changed than tiles.....

If you are not definitely set on stone or ceramic, then you also consider an oak floor to match the impressive oak stairway.

Oak herringbone is very on trend currently and makes an impressive statement in the hallway.

I love colors and most of your plan sounds fun and great but...that paint color looks very purplish and i would say maybe go lighter, more grey tone. Be cautious.

I would not choose a granite-Silestone unless I could see the stone with the cabinets. Bring home stone samples or if that is not allowed, take a kitchen cabinet drawer with you to make sure the stone color is a good choice. It is always best to block the sun before it hits the glass, if possible. See photo.

Paint the doors black matt and the fames cream add silver crome door furniture. Huge silver mirror above the covered radiator then add a runner of any colour you like and match it with the lamps and lighting. hey presto done.

It looks like you've got oak skirting boards, so I'd leave them bare. If you're tiling throughout then I would keep it all the same, the rooms will flow better.

I think it really depends on the other spaces you have and style or design throughout.
Hallways are a great place to create impact. As you don't spend a lot of time on there busy tiles are a great way to do that.
It's a large entrance so I wouldn't go overboard. Some patterned tiles mixed with plain would work nicely in the space. Again, which ones and colours would depend on the rest of the rooms design and wall colours. This would also effect whether white skirting would work. I would only do this if it's going to work with the rest of the design. White can add a great contrast with tiles floors.
