Off white colour for dark hallway

5 replies

sheeplikessleep · 16/09/2012 14:58

We're decorating our hallway, which is quite dark as it has no windows. I'm looking for a neutral colour that will help to lighten it up.

I'm tempted by the Dulux endurance paints for obvious reasons!

I've got Egyptian cotton, which I think will be too dark and almond white which is ok, but not massively exciting (tester pots).

Any thoughts or suggestions really appreciated, thanks (before I do my usual trick of spending a fortune on tester pots!)

Barley white endurance we used, marks wash off a treat

We have this in our hallway (flat, it's a 8mx2m corridor with no natural light, but this colour makes it feel wider), it's 2 years old now & showing a few signs of wear, but doesn't look too shabby.

We have a dark hallway which needed brightening, we used porcelain doll from the dulux timeless classics range. Got it mixed up in diamond matt which is supposed to be hardwearing, it's only been on a week so can't tell just yet. Does look great IMO!

Dulux seem to do a range of 'light and space' colours (including some off whites), that can be mixed up in their trade diamond matt paint. They claim they have light reflecting particles in there to bounce whatever light you do have around. I have no idea if any of this is true though. We're thinking of getting a tester pot and seeing if it makes any difference in our a bit dark hall.
