Flooring Design Dilemma Hallways

1930s hallway tiles

5 years ago

Does anyone have any design tips for a late 1930s house? I want to put some original features back in or at least give a nod to the era. Is parquet flooring the best option for the hallway or could I do tiles? I don’t want to get it wrong and go for Victorian so thinking black and white reclaimed tiles if this is true to the 30s but I’m not sure. Any advice would be appreciated.

Use matt porcelain. Most colors and/or pattern could do. Add a charcoal/black edge (and perhaps one row of those for baseboards) to give it that 30s feel. True terrazzo would look great, but is expensive (and messy to have installed), fortunately it comes in tile too. Portuguese patterns look great too. What looks and feel would you like the house to have? Favourite colors? Styles? Materials?

Maybe if you stuck to one colour scheme such as white and purple or grey and lime green, colours that compliment each other. You could have a cabinet on the larger side with some family photos or a mirror above it and maybe a single colour on the top half of the wall and a complimentary wallpaper on the bottom half. You could go for wood on the floor or a simple soft carpet but it might get muddy. You could also have a bench with storage underneath for shoes and bags, but try get a colour that matched the walls. You could also paint the banisters if they don't match the rest of the room.

If you painted the wood skirtings (removed in photos) and door frames, in the dusky blue from the tiles then did the walls in white to bounce light around the hallway as they can be a bit dark I don't think it would look clinical because the use of the blue would add a little drama and look very up to date. Alternatively you could use a deep grey. I haven't seen this done much but when I have it has looked well.
