Hi wanting to redecorate hall and landing and looking for ideas for design and colour. Site recommend by a friend. Will be keeping carpet, curtains and dark wood. Unsure if to go for feature wall at the top of the stairs or on the wall leading up the stairs and plain every where else and what colour. Kind regards LInda
It's a tough one as the dark wood and beige carpet sort of limits your options. I'd probably stick to brown and beige. It doesn't have to be as boring as it sounds. We wanted a traditional look to our hallway so we did the longest wall in a brown and cream tartan wallpaper and split the rest of the walls with a dado with fawn below and cream above. I've then added a picture feature wall up the stairs above the dado rail.
I think you are probably better off with wallpaper than painting as you are keeping the darker doors. my guess would be to lighten the paper Nd choose something with a geometric pattern rather than the small busy pattern you currently. the I would say is to use a lighter colour, not necessarily cream, but not too dark.
I would get rid of the light sapping wallpaper and paint the walls in the palest of greys or off white. F&B have lots of lovely whites and I particularly like the cool grey of Ammonite.
Of course you may prefer drama so Inchyra Blue or Hague Blue would look amazing, but not for everyone! Here’s what I mean
I was going to suggest an olive green but I think the dark colour suggested by Sonia will work really well. The dark wood will probably be too much of a contrast against anything too pale.
