What colour to paint the hallway and stairs?
We moved into our new build a while ago, all walls are white and the house feels plain and cold. It definitely needs some colour!!! Any suggestions as to what colour to paint the hallway and stairs? Thank you in advance!

need help for my hall to put some photos or paintings
Comments (5)Nikhil, personally I think an entrance stairway like that is a great place to hang personal and family photos, but you don't need to limit it to that, anything can be mixed in that you like. Don't restrict yourself to frame size with a photo either, a small photo with a large mat around it and in a large frame can look really good and can draw the attention in a group of photos. A staircase is one place where more is good too, but getting the balance right is another thing. Search on this website for examples, you will find a lot and use them to get the feel of how to arrange and group your photos. Lay them out on the floor first to get the effect you want before trying to hang. [houzz=] [houzz=] [houzz=]...See MoreUrgent help in deciding types of door here in hallway
Comments (3)Give search for home theatre door in houzz and it will give you a few ideas. But finally what you have to think or take help from interior designer is about the theme of your home as this door should also get aligned with your house theme. In general having hallway as part of home theatre is not advised so if you can change it, it would be better. But if you can't then at least install auto closure....See Morehow to renovate hall
Comments (2)The living room furniture seems very inadequate, and more like patio or foyer furniture. The three-seater especially, looks uncomfortable and uninviting. It would do you good to invest in a fully upholstered 3+ 1+ 1 set or 3+ 2 plus a 1-seater which could be a counterpoint to the remaining furniture. You definitely have the space, but right now the style and the arrangement of the living room section makes it look like a mere passage. The strong flooring pattern dwarfs the furniture further....See MoreHelp needed for below stairs space
Comments (34)Just because you want to use the space below the stairs, do not just add drawers or shelfs unless you reaalllyyy need it. I would suggest go for adding something green to your house. Its healthy by adding air purifying plants. These plants are nowadays available in most of the nurseries and moreover Green patch in the house gives a beautiful look to the house and is also good for eyes ( the green color). Below are few picture to motivate you for Green patch or Indoor garden....See More

4 years agoHi, congrats on your new home! Very exciting. This space appears to be either north facing or just not an area with a lot of warm light...I have been helping quite a few clients with this dilemma lately and here are a few tips for you.
North facing/lowlight rooms can be difficult to decorate as the natural light coming through will have blue/grayish undertones. This could make some paint colours look dingy or too cold (which I think is happening now).
Warm grey works well in north facing/low-light rooms and here are a couple color combos from Dulux which you can get at B&Q. Just make sure the undertones are warm (not blue or grey).
Dulux also has a ‘Light and Space’ paint finish that is supposed to reflect light in the room. https://www.dulux.co.uk/en/products/dulux-light-space-matt.
And just an FYI - Desenio.co.uk is a great online place to look for quality/inexpensive prints if you would like to add some art up the stair hallway area.
Good luck and congrats on a new home!Carrie

4 years agolast modified: 4 years agoI like Carrie Cotton's Misty Mountain or Warm Truffle. I'd also change the entrance matting from black to brown coir, as that will tie in better with the creamy beige tiles and carpet. Add in a Hallway runner to cover up some of the tiles and make it look warmer. Remove the pet bowls from the bottom of the stairs.
Stick in a small hallway table at the entrance with maybe a mirror above to reflect light.
