What to do with this Edwardian house hallway

[cocobelon]

I’m keeping the terrazzo 100%, love it and want to get it restored !
It’s the mock Tudor beams on the ceiling I’m struggling with. I want to keep it but not sure what kind of colours I should go for in the rest of the hallway? The terrazzo has reds in but I really don’t like red !
I’m thinking half way panelling ?
What kind of runner should I go with ? Should I paint the banister black to tye in with the beams ? So many ideas but I’m not creative enough to execute them !
Would love some help

Oh it’s lovely !!

I have no idea what would look best ! I think first thing would be sourcing a surround. I think the outer tiles will have to go though otherwise I don’t think a surround will fit properly

Agree the surround will need to fix back

Ps
Worth looking at auction sites

If you like the character of the beams what about whitewashing or limewashing them? That way you preserve the gain of the wood but make the ceiling feel less dark and imposing. Some ideas here.

Hi
The timber beamed ceiling in your top photograph looks too complicated and unsettling . It reminds me of a complicated giant maths puzzle.
In reality is it possibly is less overpowering?
I think depending on the natural light available, painting it the same colour as the ceiling could be a good call, especially if you want to add wall detail (panelling) as well.
Good luck OP, have fun!

I disagree about your assessment of the tiled outer of the fireplace being a 1970s addition. It looks like a classic art deco style fireplace to me- google 'art deco tiled fireplace' and you will find lots similar to this one, although the one in OP's house is a relatively plain example. I think of it as a 1930s style, but this reclamation site has an example of that type of fireplace from the Edwardian period: https://www.c20fireplaces.co.uk/repro-fireplace-complete/rfpc003clarence-arch-all-tiled-fireplace. so it could be an original feature.

I wouldn't paint over or remove the tiles. It looks like the original opening for the fire has been bricked up and those bricks have been painted, but it could be that would possibly be reinstated if OP likes the fireplace. Along with the beams in the hallway it points towards the original decor of the house being more art deco, less arts and crafts.

Sorry the link isn't working above: https://www.c20fireplaces.co.uk/repro-fireplace-complete/rfpc003_clarence-arch-all-tiled-fireplace

The moulded inner tiles are definitely original to the period
but
We’ll have to agree to disagree on those outer tiles 😁

I also disagree with the house being more art deco. It s more Tudor revival ( beams and b&w externals) and arts and crafts ( glass, joinery etc )

Agree to disagree again Glasgow 😁

Fair enough and I did miss the bit about the B&W externals 😄

What we really need Glasgow is a full coloured axonometric with plans for a realistic dissection. 🤣🤣🤣
then we can go at it hammer and tongs
