Hallway help

My hall, stairs and landing are next to be revamped/decorated.

We live in a 3 storey town house that's about 15 years old. All of the carpets will be replaced but I need help with the colour scheme.

From the photo, the room behind me is the very sunny south facing kitchen with cream units and green feature wall.

Should I carry on with green? I'd like wallpaper on the wall with the radiator. The paint going up the stairs needs to be hard wearing as it's a big thoroughfare (living room and bedrooms are up there) and the carpet needs to be dark (it's currently dirty cream) grey would a practical carpet choice but don't really want a grey hall.

The third pic is to the left of the door and is coat and shoe area.

Any advice welcome.

Can you show us a picture of the green feature wall so we know what sort of colour you're thinking off?

It's a lovely bright hallway!

This is the green and the kitchen

I wouldn't personally. Whilst its quite a warm green it will zap the light out of that space. What wallpaper are you thinking of?

I've not actually looked for wallpaper yet but was thinking something light with a hint of green that would flow through.

I agree that colour green is too dark for the hallway.

Im a big fan of wallpaper and have lots in my house. I think you have to be careful with green/green patterned wallpaper. You either go very bold in which case it could look fab but keep in mind that its a very narrow space, or else you go for something calmer but the big risk with green is it then looks like your grandmas house so you have to be very careful with styling.

Thanks for your advice. I'm not really bold so probably would go for something more subdued.

I'll start looking!
