What colour is your hallway? I am bored of magnolioliolia........

[MadreInglese]

inspire me somebody please!

At the moment ours is horribly wallpapered in one of the shades of yellow that the previous owners of our house were so fond of

But the hall, staircase and landing are our next project and after spending hours with the colour charts I think we are going to paint the whole lot... white.

I'd love to do it all a chic shade of light/dove grey but there isn't enough natural light and it would look too insipid.

just painted one wall airforce blue

Green Ground- Farrow and Ball

black and yellow

Stone....aka magnolia

sage green

Egyption Cotton in the family friendly washable version- replaced Timeless (off white) and doesn't show the finger prints quite so much

ooh putty...

mmmmm sage green...

'sun baked terracotta'

Yellow - a nice yellow. It's dulux lumitec and with 2 windows and a door with window it glows all nice and warm All white woodwork and banisters and am getting a sisal brown stair carpet.

would lots of natural light be required for darker colours or would we get away with higher watt bulbs?

Seashell - aka magnolia

I'd go for light grey. Or pale, dusty blue

I've been thinking wedgewood blue but wonder if that would be too twee

Oh I approve of wedgewood blue, no, not too twee, you have to offset it with dramatic lamp.

Grey, grey, grey!

We have just finished renovating a doer-upper and our lounge, master bed and hallway are various shades of grey.

Hallway is Dulux Tin White - it's bluey-grey and changes with the light. White woodwork really lifts it, it looks very sophisticated if I do say so myself!

long thin hallway so would have to be dramatic lightshade rather than lamp

how dark is the grey-blue?

Icelandic blue with full moon woodwork and stairs.

Our hallway is AppleWhite from Dulux Light and Space range. Its really bright and airy. We had this painted over all 3 floors. Slight hint of light green mixed with white and its lovely. Goes really well with all the Oak Flooring/Staircase.

Ours are all white; recently painted to cover the builder's magnolia.

Almond white. In endurance paint!!

two shades of sage green

Putty coloured (can't remember the name)

Dining room is Eygptian cotton

Kitchen is sage green
