We're coming to the end of an extension and I've got decision fatigue!
We've had a new front door put in and the hallway freshly plastered, and now I have to decide on what colour to paint it.
Our old door was a cheap UPC one which was almost entirely glass. Our new composite door is absolutely gorgeous, but it has cut out a lot of the light compared to the old one.
I tend to favour darker colours (kitchen is F&B Bancha, dining room F&B Stiffkey Blue, sitting room is creamy walls but with dark bottle green sofas,) but I'm a bit thrown by how dark the hallway looks now. I know it will get lighter once the ceiling is painted white and the plaster has dried.
Flooring will be oak Amtico herringbone (mixture of Canopy Oak and Eden Oak). We're keeping the greigy stair carpet. We previously had Egyptian Cotton, which is dull and I'd quite like something more interesting. Taste veers more towards period than modern.
Anyone got any suggestions for paint colours? I guess I'm looking for something that is strong, but won't suck the light. I'm open to any colour as long as it looks OK with the existing flooring and the Amtico.
