Hallway Assistance Required

3 years ago

This is my hallway which we are planning to redecorate and have decided to go very dramatic and have ordered Farrow & Ball "railings" paint. I know it's very dark but i want a complete transformation. Am going to order a large cream rug, however i need assistance with furniture - would like a console table or sideboard plus a bench seat with storage but don't have a clue. Any suggestions for furniture/finishings would be very much appreciated.

Here's a couple of ideas. I prefer the one with white woodwork.

I would go with lighter furniture either as shown or light grey painted. Need a solid piece of furniture if you are putting the lamps on as the wires are showing underneath and look unsightly.

Do we have space for a 5ft x 4ft kitchen island?

I am sorry to say you don't have room. You are only giving yourself 36" in front of the ovens and only 31" for passage on the opposite side and 42" is not enough between the island and the sink. You might find a smaller 30" wide x 48" moveable stainless steel prep table and placed in the opposite direction, it might work for additional counter surface but not give you the seating you would like.

Would dark wood floor in hall leading to light oak floor kitchen work?

What I have always thought is, if you try to "match" an existing floor it looks like you tried and missed. When you go with something completely different, the result is yes, I wanted something different, and here it is. Especially if you lay it in a different direction. Does that make sense?

I need help to get in light.

Hello kswardrobe, Well some thoughts are... can you put in some internal glass doors? This would allow light to flow from rooms... Presume the bedroom has a window but is north facing? Is the front door also part of this hallway? Can you install a door with glass too? So the hall can benefit from light in this way too? Other things would be to leave doors open so that light from rooms can flood out into the hall.. Further ideas are well placed mirrors that bounce light.. What is on the walls? Does this hinder the feeling of light and airy.. light flooring would also help here too.. :))

Layout dilemma/ possible kitchen extension or remodel

Hi, advice gratefully received. Love our new house, but the ground floor layout is not great. Long narrow kitchen facing east, garden is big so scope to extend. As it stands you come in from the hall into the lounge to get to the kitchen. I would like to have some separation so that the lounge can be closed when desired. Perhaps some double doors? I was thinking to use a chunk of the lounge and knock through into the kitchen which would also allow more light. Lounge is lovely and light, kitchen is dark after lunch. Ideal solution would be a side extension, but drains and pipes in the way so worried about the cost.. Would only require about a metre wide along the actual kitchen which I would then face towards the garden and create a sitting area. Any ideas welcome P.S. Conservatory is a junk room at the moment, facing a fence on the right hand side. The garage is used as a utility.

I appreciate that the white paint in the second photo is a good contrast, but the foot of the stairs seems a dumb place for a table.

Lovely spacious hall. I think a pale wooden sideboard would look fab against the dark walls, examples below. The first is from Oak Furnitureland. Also how about a bench storage seat? They provide a comfy seat and the lid lifts up, providing loads of storage. A company called Footstools & More sell them in hundreds of fabrics, including leather, and their customer service is excellent (I am a customer). Their Facebook page is full of photos and they make them bespoke too, if need be. The yellow one below would look amazing against your grey walls! But other colours are available 😊

I meant to say would a cream rug be a good idea in a hall? Something in a mid grey would possibly be better and not show the dirt quite so much.

I've been looking for a cream rug - fancy something natural and am looking at sisal rugs

We have coir carpet in stairs and landing which is excellent but some natural fibres can be slippery or not stand water so do check first.
